The Seal Of Prophets

IS A TITLE USED IN THE QUR'AN AND BY MUSLIMS TO DESIGNATE

THE ISLAMIC PROPHET MUHAMMAD AS THE LAST OF THE
PROPHETS SENT BY GOD.
 The Last Messenger to Mankind
Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sent to all mankind by the one God who sent Abraham, Moses,
Jesus, and all prophets.
“We have not sent you but as a universal messenger to all people, giving them glad tidings, and
warning them (against sin), but most people do not understand” (Our’an 34:28)
“And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: O Children of Israel! I’m the messenger of Allah
(God) sent to you confirming the law which came before me (Torah) and giving glad tidings of a
messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad (Muhammad)” (Our’an 61:6)
“My example and the prophets who came before me is like a man built a very nice house with one
brick missing, so people would say except if this brick is there. So I’m the missing brick and I’m
the Seal of the prophets” (Sahih Bukhari)
 Muhammad’s Message Submission
“Say: Verily, my Lord has guided me to a way that is straight – A
religion of right – The path (trod) by Abraham, the true in faith and
he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah”(Our’an 6:161
Muhammad’s Message A way of Life based
on Contemplation and Understanding
“Didn’t you see that Allah sends down rain from the sky? With it We
then bring out produce of different colors. And the mountains are
tracts white and red, of various shades of color, and black intense in
hue. And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, are they
of various colors. Those truly fear Allah among his servants, who
have knowledge. For Allah is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving”
(Our’an 35:27-28)“The followers of the prophets have accepted their
messages as they witnessed the miracles they have shown. In my
case, I was given a revelation to be recited (read, thought and
understood)” (Sahih Bukhari
 Muhammad’s Character A testimony
by the Creator
Exemplary Character “And you stand on an exalted standard of
character” (Our’an 68:4)“Now has come unto you a messenger from
amongst yourselves: it grieves him that you should perish: Ardently
anxious is he over you: to the believers is he most kind and merciful”
(Our’an 9:128) “It is part of the mercy of Allah (God) that you did
deal gently with them. Were you severe or harsh-hearted they would
have broken away from around you. So pass over (their faults), and
ask for Allah’s forgiveness for them, and consult with them in affairs
of the moment. Then when you has taken a decision, put your trust in
Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust in Him” (Our’an
3:159)
 Love To People and Their Guidance
Muhammad’s Approach
After the battle of “Uhud” where he was injured and lots of Muslims
were killed, he prayed for the Maccan guidance: “Oh Allah (God): give
guidance to my people, they lack knowledge”
 Recognizing people’s shortcomings
Muhammad’s Approach

A man came to him admitting being drunk requesting to be punished

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked the man to wait after the prayer
After the prayer the man re-requested to be punished. The prophet
recognized his repentance and answered “Did you not pray with us?”
and sent him away.
 Insightful Muhammad’s Approach
Peace agreement with Maccan (Al-Hudaibiah Treaty) by showing the
Muslims’ intension to perform “Umrah” (subset of Pilgrimage)Avoid
fighting during the conquest of Macca by recognizing a prominent
Maccan leader social status “Whoever enters his house is safe, whoever
enters the Kabbah is safe, and whoever enters Abu-Sufian’s house is
safe”
