The last Prophet ->the Last Scripture->the Last Guide

marie

Peace,

The messenger Mohammad is the last of the prophets who delivered us the last scripture from God alquran.

The one acclaimed is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of God and the seal of the prophets. And God is fully aware of all things.

Why the messenger Mohammad is the last of the prophets?

Do we need others prophets with others scriptures after him?

The response is NO.

This is why we read in the quran that the messenger Mohammad is the last of the prophets.

Why the quran is the last scripture from God for us?

Do we need others scriptures from God after alquran?

Do we need others chapters in addition to the 114 chapters in the quran for our guidance and salvation?

Do we need others sources beside the quran for our guidance and salvation?

The response is No.

If we need other sources beside the last scripture (alquran) for our salvation is equivalent to say that we need others prophet after the last prophet.

In this case, we couldn?t say that the quran is the last scripture and the messenger Mohammad is the last prophet.

We know that the last prophet is sent to us with the truth (alquran) as a bearer of good news and warner for the universe, if we seek guidance in others sources than the quran and which are posterior to the quran, could we say honestly that the quran is the last scripture / the last source for our guidance as for Mohammad which is the last prophet?

When we say that the messenger Mohammad is the last prophet , this excludes any other prophets after the last prophet. It is logic

When we say that the quran is the last scripture delivered by the last prophet, this excludes any other source as a guide posterior to the quran ie only 114 chapters. It is logic too

If there is no prophet after the last prophet, there is no other sources beside alquran for our salvation after the last scripture.

If the last prophet who is sent with the truth (alquran) is sufficient for us, this is also valid for the last scripture alquran composed of 114 chapters.

Mohammad is the last prophet because he delivered the last scripture and the word ?last? has the same meaning both for the 'prophet' and the 'alquran'

If only one word misses in the quran for our guidance and our salvation, God is able to send down from His grace to His messenger a second book to supplement the last scripture

And if all the trees on earth were made into pens, and the ocean were supplied by seven more oceans, the words of God would not run out. God is Noble, Wise.
Walaw annama fee al-ardi minshajaratin aqlamun waalbahru yamudduhu minbaAAdihi sabAAatu abhurin ma nafidat kalimatu Allahi inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeemun

Alquran is the last scripture because in it we find All what we need for our salvation.

The last scripture is a divine work like the creation of the heavens and the earth. All divine creation is perfect.

And if you ask them ?Who created the heavens and the earth?? They will say ?God.? Say ?Praise be to God.? Yet, most of them do not know.
To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy.

After heavens and earth, God speaks about His words

And if all the trees on earth were made into pens, and the ocean were supplied by seven more oceans, the words of God would not run out. God is Noble, Wise.

God is the reach and He does not need any ally for His creation

Initiator of heavens and earth, when He decrees a command, He merely says to it ?Be? and it is.
God, there is no God but He, the Living, the Sustainer. No slumber or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in heavens and in the earth. Who will intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the High, the Great.

2 256. There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been made clear from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in God, then he has grasped the most solid branch that will never break. God is Hearer, Knower.

2 257. God is the ally of those who believe, He brings them out of the darkness and into the light. As for those who reject, their allies are the evil ones, they bring them out of the light and into the darkness; these are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide eternally.

And say ?Praise be to God who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness.? And glorify Him greatly.
Say ?In whose hand is the sovereignty of all things, and He protects while there is no protector against Him, if you know??
They will say ?To God.? Say ?Then why are you deceived??

Tha last Prophet and the last scripture are closely dependent. There is nothing (other prophets or other source of guidance) neither after the last prophet Mohammad nor after the last scripture Alquran. It is composed of 114 chapters and the chapter 114 is the last chapter of the quran and the end of the quran.
It is not a partial end but it is final.

The quran is the last scripture, it is a guide. Consequently, it is a last guide which is composed of 114 chapters.

Another example for the word 'al-akhiratu' which is is synonymous of the word 'the last'
In 7169 we read 'alddaru al-akhiratu' translated as the ultimate residence / the abode of the Hereafter / the utimate and final abode and there is no other abode after 'alddaru al-akhiratu'

Peace be upon those who follow the guidance
