Reality of Khatam-an-Nubuwwah

“Finality of Prophethood”

مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّـهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men; but he is the Messenger of Allah and Seal of the Prophets. And Allah is Knowledgeable of all things (Sura 33:40)

The true meaning of this Verse is that our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and final Prophet to have been sent with a divine-law. After him there can be no Prophet who can abrogate his Shari’ah or independent of his authority. The true meaning of Khaatam-an-Nabiyyeen (Seal of Prophets) is that Prophet Muhammad is the superior prophet in the chain of God’s prophets, in whose person all spiritual excellences and virtues find their ultimate culmination.
