Difference between a Prophet and a Messenger?
-
Peace all.
It does not matter about the definition of messenger or prophet. In this case it is Easy very to answer the question
Muhammad was not the father of any man among you. He was a messenger of God and the final prophet. God is fully aware of all things]
It clearly says he was a messenger and not the " last messenger"
It also clearly says he was the " last prophet".
So the answer is clear He was not the last messenger.
Peace.

Salaam good logic
we have to be more precise
if Human Rassool set is included in Human Nabi set then 3340 yields to Muhammad is Last Human Messenger.
Note that first part of 3340 points towards the human character of Muhammad.According to history of Lot, Not Humans Messengers can be sended by God (to punish people) .
Now, by logic, it remains a clear question
Can a human rassool be not a Nabi ?
My opinion is NOHowever this verse
1715 Whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever is misguided is for his own loss. And no person shall carry the burdens of another, and We were not to punish until We send a messenger (rassool).Could mean that there would be other messengers. Will they be humans ?
Notice that Muhammad can be the messenger of verse 1715. His message is now in each library in the world and quite nobody in the world can say "i never heard that a book called quran exists".Peace

GOD chooses His words carefully. He mentioned both " MESSENGER" and " PROPHET" in , however He uses the word " LAST" with "PROPHET" only.
Why did God not say " Last messenger" ?. The reason is there will be messengers after Muhammed but no prophets. Muhammed was the last prophet.

To confirm an existing scripture and remind. Usually when the message is distorted/changed or to give the same message to extented/future generation after a time lapse?

That word denotes LAST, but last prophet. You will not find " Last messenger" in Qoran.

Salamun Alaik, goodlogic.
I only enquired about a Particle and a Word. No conclusions.
What this Noun is? Indefinite or definite, singular or plural, passive or active participle, masculine or feminine; why is it in accusative case. What relationship it has with the following plural noun in genitive state? -

I know you mean well, but you lost me. I did not understand your " last" post.

Salamun Alaik,
Surprised by post 2 giving verdicts, I thought to put a general question, without referring to any post whether attention is paid to individual words.
The last post was again to know whether attention is paid to first know the Arabic word.

What is wrong with post 2?

It is simple Muhammed was the last prophet but not the last messenger.
You are making it complicated.

No, I am suggesting a rational course for arriving at judgments. One can have any perception he likes to develop in his mind. But when judgments are related to a foreign text, the minimum requirement is that the person knows the word.

Aaron was only Nabi. It looks like if God made Aaron prophet to respond to a demand of Moses.
1953 And We granted him from Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.
2029 "And allow for me an advisor from my family."
2030 "Aaron, my brother."
2535 And We gave Moses the Book and We made his brother Aaron a minister with him.I think that Aaron case is very helpful to respond to the Nabi/Rassol distinction.
It is the nabi who confirm what rassool says. The Messenger bring a Message from GOD and the Nabi confirms by his own words.The question is again, what will a human rassool do if Muhammad was not the last human Rassol ?

I am not sure about the last of anything, the Qur'an says khatam an-nibiyin, seal of prophets. It depends what we understand by khatam. A meaning that for me seems unquestionable is that whatever revelation or message a prophet or messenger may bring, the Qur'an is the one that gives or denies its authenticity, that is, that puts the seal on it of being genuine.

I think that we will not agree, as usual, on this point.2616 means that aaron is here as a messenger only for firaoun with a clear, precise and ponctual message
We are messengers of the Lord of the worlds + 'So send with us the Children of Israel'"So aaron is not a messenger in the same meaning as Muhammad is Messenger.
