"muhammadun" the God's messenger/message.

Many questions can be raised on this issue and I'm sure the answers can be found. For example, in ayat 4523 this 'seal', as we happen to have it, need not be permanent for people do change. As I said before, a seal may be lifted.

Could you clarify the connection between "a seal may be lifted" and Mohammad is Khaatam of the prophets or informers if you prefer?

Thanks

Insofar as I can tell 'seal' is a defining injunction. This is a connection between the 2 that I make.

Thanks for your understanding. Regarding the verb "Khatama" in 27, 6 46, 45 23, how do you translate "khaatama" 3340 otherwise that "imprint"?

Many questions can be raised on this issue

Can you tell me more

Thanks

how do you translate 3340?

'muhammadun' (the appreciate?) was not an innovator (to) anyone amongst your treaders, but the God's envoy, and imprint of the informers, and the God is with every thing aware (3340)

Can you tell me more

What is a seal? Can a seal be popped, taken off and replaced, etc. Could it be a stamp or a mark?

In the light of the context, I can see the notion of "imprint" neither in 27, 6 46, 45 23 nor in 3340.

3340 has the same structure than 367, 179

367 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was an upright man who had surrendered to Allah. He never ascribed divinity to anyone beside One True God.
Ma kana ibraheemu yahoodiyyan wala nasraniyyan walakinkana haneefan musliman wama kana minaalmushrikeena

Allah has blessed Mohammad with the Scripture, Wisdom and Prophethood through the quran.

3340 Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is Allah?s Messenger and the Closing Seal of all Prophets. And Allah, indeed, is Knower of all things.
Ma kana muhammadun abaahadin min rijalikum walakin rasoola Allahi wa khatama alnnabiyyeena wakana Allahubikulli shay-in AAaleeman

God was not to leave the believers as they were without distinguishing the rotten from the good. And God was not to let you know the future, but God chooses from His messengers whom He wishes; so believe in God and His messengers. And if you believe and are righteous, then you will have a great reward.
Ma kana Allahu liyatharaalmu/mineena AAala ma antum AAalayhi hattayameeza alkhabeetha mina alttayyibi wama kanaAllahu liyutliAAakum AAala alghaybi walakinnaAllaha yajtabee min rusulihi man yashao faaminoobiAllahi warusulihi wa-in tu/minoo watattaqoofalakum ajrun AAatheemun

Mohammad is the Closing Seal of all Prophets, not of some prophets.
"alnnabiyyeena" doesn't means some prophets.

The quran is universal message, do we need other prophet?

This Day, I have perfected your DEEN for you, completed My favor upon you, and chosen for you Islam as the System of Life. (53)

I should not expect many people to see such things.

Well, yes, but the ayat are expressly different in the revelations in them.

Allah has blessed Mohammad with the Scripture, Wisdom and Prophethood through the quran.

I would not say that God blessed a man named Mohammad with scripture or prophethood even. I do not believe alkitab is the scripture, but rather the decree. I do not ascribe to nabuwwat as 'prophethood'. The rendering of the word is so much constricted in that translation.

The quran was delivered definitively to humankind by the prophet Mohammad and we are told to be be devotees for what we have been taught of the Scripture, and for what we studied.

No, sorry, it is not said in alquran, 'prophet Mohammad'. Yes, we are to uphold the statutes of the din.

Mohammad is the Closing Seal of all Prophets, not of some prophets.
"alnnabiyyeena" doesn't means some prophets.

I'm not sure if I said 'some prophets', but I do not agree with you that there is a closing seal mentioned in that ayat.

The quran is universal message, do we need other prophet?

The message lending guidance toward salvation and pointing out the criterion is the same always correct? If it is ever universal and the same from nabi to nabi I would ask you why not just one nabi to begin with? I'm not sure if I could say we needed any prophets.

Peace YOU all,

Chapter 33 must be entirely read to understand correctly the verse 3340 according the context of the chapter. Allah speaks about the prophet since the first verse

331 O Prophet! Be mindful of Allah and heed not the deniers of the Truth and the hypocrites. Verily, Allah is Knower, Wise.

See also 336-7, 13, 28, 32, 38, 40, 45, 50, 53, 56, 59.

This is my understanding of ?Ma kana muhammadun abaahadin min rijalikum / Muhammad is not the father of any man among you? in 3340, this part is connected to the following verses

Nor does He regard your adopted sons as your biological sons (334)

3337 Behold, (O Prophet) you did tell the one to whom Allah had shown Favor and to whom you had shown favor, ?Hold on to your wife and be mindful of Allah. You seek to conceal in your heart what Allah intends to reveal. You are afraid of people whereas it is more appropriate to fear Allah.? But when Zayd had observed all the rules and divorced her, We gave her to you in marriage. So that henceforth there may be no blame on the believers in respect of spouses of their adopted children when they have come to the dissolution of their union. And the Commandment of Allah must be fulfilled. (Contrary to many erroneous translations, the entire quote in this verse is addressed to Zayd since Messengers fear none but Allah (3339). Also the admonition of the Prophet to Zayd clearly indicates that he, and not his wife, was at fault).

3338 There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has assigned unto him as a duty. That was Allah?s Law for those who passed on before (the previous prophets). And the Command of Allah is a well-determined Decree.

3340 Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is Allah?s Messenger and the Closing Seal of all Prophets. And Allah, indeed, is Knower of all things.

Allah speak about Muhammad in the same way than Abraham in 367. Neither Muhammad nor Abraham is a generic term but two individual persons in contrast with 379, 3161.

This is just my view

Allah knows best

Peace be upon you MZ,

are you saying that Ahmed is not a name either?

According to tradition, "ahmadu" is taught to mean "whose name will be praised", not a name. They take 'muhammadun" as the name.

I am saying that neither one of those words are names, they are just different forms of the same word.

I see it something like this

"hamd" = appreciation

"ahmadu" = appreciated

"muhammadun" = appreciator (one who appreciates)

Peace be upon you,

(2151) As We sent in you( feekum) a messenger from you, he reads/recites on you Our signs and he purifies you and he teaches you "the unfolding book of life"(al kitaab) and the wisdom, and he teaches you what you were not knowing.

How was "ahmadu/muhammadun" to understand this verse?

TheNabi

Salaam Marie,

I think we can get a little over innovative in such an analysis that you made. It has indeed brought forth a theme, regarding the nabi, but connecting 334 to 3337-40 does not seem to account for the belief that 'muhammad' would have had no biological children. One can have adopted children and biological children at the same time. I'm sure the nabi, being a man of high moral, would adopt a needy child. What do you think about this?

Joe

TheNabi

Salaam Marie,

I'm not sure if any of the names are truly proper nouns. Even the 'proper' name of the sustainer/rabb means 'the One and Only' which is a trait applicable only to that being being as It is. I'm not sure about 'zayd' though, could be something related to adding or increasing.

(3144) And "muhammadun" is not except a messenger, had passed/expired from before him the messengers, so if he died, or (he was) killed, you turned/returned on your heels , and whom turns/returns, on his two heels, so he will never/not harm The God, a thing, and The God will reward the thankful/grateful.

How was this man named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah suppossed to understand the above verse? Who was "muhammadun" to him?

What makes you think the quran only addresses Mohammed Ibn Abdullah. It addresses mankind past, present and future!

And muhammed (and any sane man) understood it as God talking about him to the believers.

There many modes in which the quran addresses the reader.

God as first, second, third person singular
God as first person plural
God speaking directly to mohammed
God asking mohammed to speak to believers
God speaking directly to the believer.

Your line of thinking is so bewildering that the mind boggles.

Agree, "Muhammed has not been a father of any Man among you" doesn't mean he would have had no biological children; Allah doesn't say "Muhammed has not been a father of any among you"

Let us note in the verse 336, Allah said that Muhammeds wives were like mothers to them i.e "the believers/Man", as stated by Brother Burhan21; the injunction not to marry them. .

I think the boys who grew up in his care would have considered him as a father-figure and I suppose many of his followers aswell, BUT God is defining Muhammeds relationship to other men i.e. he is a messenger not a father

Mohammad has not been a father of any Man among you i e the other men included his addopted son . Just before 3340, in 3337 we are told that the prophet married the wive of his adopted son Zayd, besause he is not his father (3340 and 334)

Contrary to the verse 423

Forbidden for you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your fathers' sisters, and your mothers' sisters, and the daughters of your brother, and the daughters of your sister, and your foster mothers who suckled you, and your sisters from suckling, and the mothers of your wives, and your step-daughters residing in your homes from your wives which you have already consummated the marriage with; if you have not consummated the marriage then there is no sin upon you; and the wives of your sons that are from your seed, and that you join between two sisters except what has already been done. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

If the prophet is like a father for his adopted son in the same way than his wives for the believers, or Zayd is his son from his seed, the prophet couldn't marry the wive of Zayd.

I'm not sure if any of the names are truly proper nouns. Even the 'proper' name of the sustainer/rabb means 'the One and Only' which is a trait applicable only to that being being as It is.

My first name is a proper noun and in the same time has several meanings wink

Idem for Warda, Majida, Layth, Zein, Ayman, Hafeez ...)
