The Islaamic Interpretation of the Term
"Khaatamun Nabiyyeen"The Muslims present the meaning
of the verse in exactly the same way as it was understood
by those people (i.e. the Sahaabah radhiyallahu anhum, Taabi'een, Muhadditheen and the learned scholars of Islaam) who have transmitted this verse to us
along with the entire Qur'aan. The
term "Khaatamun
Nabiyyeen" means
"the final prophet", "the
seal of the prophets", and "the last prophet". This verse
declares that with Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam,
prophethood has come to
an end; and no
true prophet of any category will be born ever again.
