Khatme Nabuwat Ayat _hot_ Page

The concept of Khatme Nabuwat (Seal of Prophethood) is a foundational tenet of Islamic theology, distinguishing the role of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the last messenger sent to humanity. This paper examines the primary Qur’anic verses that establish this doctrine, particularly , alongside supporting verses. It explores the linguistic meaning of khatam , the classical exegesis (tafsir) of these verses, and the theological consensus (ijma’) on the implications of finality—namely, the cessation of prophethood and new scriptures.

If the religion is complete and perfected , there is no need for any further prophet to bring new laws or correct deviations. A new prophet would imply that Islam was previously incomplete, contradicting this verse.
