Prophet Muhammad ﷺ - Seal of the Prophets

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — The Final Messenger

Muhammad ﷺ ibn Abdullah is the final Prophet and Messenger of Allah ﷻ to all of mankind. He is honored with the title “Seal of the Prophets” (Khatam an-Nabiyyin). No prophet shall come after him.

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَٰكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.” — Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40

His Blessed Life

Born in Makkah in the Year of the Elephant (570 CE), the Prophet ﷺ was known even before prophethood as As-Sadiq Al-Amin — the truthful, the trustworthy. At the age of 40, Angel Jibreel (peace be upon him) brought him the first revelation in the Cave of Hira.

For 23 years he preached the message of Tawheed — the absolute Oneness of Allah ﷻ — with patience, mercy and wisdom. He passed away in Madinah in 632 CE, leaving behind the Quran and his Sunnah as the eternal guidance for mankind. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, his family and his Companions.
