Why Moslems believe that prophet Mohamed is the last prophet?

Question

Just because" Khaatam ol Nabiin"(which there is different points of view in interpreting the word: Khaatam), While there is in Quran implications about prophets coming continuously to guide the man:
A'araaf, 35
Baghareh, 38

And it is said that: for every group (including Islam) there is an ending and Islam is a middle group:
A'araaf, 34
Baghare, 142

Answer 1

so very simple, muhammad was a cleverer man than jesus,
jesus said that there will be many false prophets after him, this open the flood gates for the many many prophets after him like for example muhammad....so muhammad corrected jesus's stupid mistake by saying he is the last prophet........so muhammad can safely control the brainwashed minds of moslems to continue believing blindly in islam........

Answer 2

Any good that comes from my words comes from God alone, and any bad is my mistake alone. The reason for this is because Muhammad was the last Prophet in a line of Prophets, the main two before him being Moses (SAW) and Jesus (SAW), and Islam says that we are the final chapter of the same message, but others believe that their chapter was the last. For instance, Judiasm believes that Moses (SAW) was the final Prophet, and Christianity believes Jesus (SAW) was the final Prophet, we believe that Muhammad (SAW) is the final Prophet, and if another man claimed to be a Prophet after Muhammad (SAW), we would refute it and point out that the Qur'an talks about all the Prophets before Muhammad (SAW) but says that he is the last. So It's just that they're prophecies stopped at a time before ours did. A lot of people don't know that Muslims actually do believe in ALL the Prophets, which is simlpy a lack of the truth about Islam on their part. But it's not their fault, it's the way the people on the top of America inteded it. Peace.

Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel transmitted the entire Koran to him from Allah while he was living in the Hira Cave. At first Muhammad feared he had been overtaken by a "Jinn", a troubling spirit. But Muhammad's wife Khadijah encouraged him that his visions were indeed from God and that he had been chosen as his special messenger. Amr ibn Sharhabil says Muhammad mentioned to his wife Khadijah that he feared he was possessed by demons and wondered whether others might consider him possessed by jinn (Pfander 1910:345). He says Muhammad said; “ When I went into seclusion I heard a voice. By Allah I feared that something wrong was going to happen.” Also revealing is the report by Al Waqidi that Muhammad had such an aversion to the form of the cross that he would break everything brought into the house with a shape of the cross on it (Nehls 1990:61).

When Muhammad began to preach his new religion in 610 A.D. the leaders of Mecca were strongly opposed. In 622 A.D. Muhammad was approached by the elders from a town located some 250 miles north of Mecca who asked Muhammad to be their ruler. Muhammad accepted on the conditions that they would also accept him as a prophet and that he could bring his followers. The exodus to this town, later known as Medina is known by Muslims as the "hijra". The Meccans attacked the Medinans several times, but the Medinans always managed to drive them off. In 627 A.D. the Meccans were defeated by Muhammad's forces, and the Muslims returned to Mecca and cleansed the "kaba" of all its idols. Muhammad continued to rule Medina, where he died in 632 A.D.

Muslims should be reminded of Muhammad's own humanity, fickleness and unworthiness. Muhammad was extremely close to Jews in the beginning of his campaigns of rape, plunder, and murder. In those days, Muhammad realized he could only capture Mecca and Medina with Jewish help.

Answer 5

It is proved in the Holy Quran and as you see there was no prophet after him. Also it is written in the other religions' Holy Books.

Answer 6

The different interpretations of the word have only been coined by minority deviant sects which separated from mainstream Islam and are no more muslims, for example, Qadiyanis. In order to support their claim of a Prophet in this age (similar to Mormons), they have coined their own interpretation of the word. The word Khatam has been used in several places in the Qur'an and it means "seal".

The easiest way to verify this is to go to

http://www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch/

and on the left side under "Phonetic Search", type Khatam, this will give a result of transliterated arabic verses along with english translation. Check out the search results, which gives five (5) verses having the word Khatam.

For example,

Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur). (2:7)

Check the arabic word for "seal" used in this verse, its khatam. Also verify other four verses.

quran said in several times that the prophet Mohamed(pbuh) the last prophet for the humanity
