End Of Messenger’S Appointment
The phrase Khatam al Nabiyyeen, means the seal of the prophet. It means the last of the prophets. The meaning is explicit, and no one ever denied it, not even the ones who assume that there is a certain kind of prophet who can come. They claim that the phrase seals the coming of the prophets with Shariah, not without Shariah. This claim is not supported by the words themselves.
Dear brother, Allah says Khatam ul Nabiyeen. I ask why do we say khatam ul Nabiyeen wal mursaleen?
It is choice of words by some people. The word Nabi includes Rasul.
Nabi is a Rasul. But Rasul is not a Nabi. So if Nabihood is sealed, it does not imply that Rasulhood is also sealed. Just like Nabi is Insan but Insan is not a Nabi. Rasul still come take our soul, see 6:61.Rasul read to you the signs of Allah, see 2:151Rasul does many things which are similar to a Nabi but if he’s not a Nabi he will follow up what the previous Nabi brought, see 2:87. This is not the problem of whether a rasul can come after Nabihood is sealed. The problem is that why did we ask a question where everything was clear. It is clear that Muhammad the seal of Nabiyeen. Why do you scholars ask about the seal of Mursaleen. If you don’t, why do you call Muhammad what Allah has not called him?
