Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

dear burhan asalamualikum

does your sect believe that there will be messsengers of Allah after Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Any Prophet after Mohamed (saws)

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzaab verse 40:Mohamed is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal (last) of the Prophets. And Allah is the Knower of everything.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdulla (r.a.) that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “Through me, the Prophethood was brought to a close.”

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said in an authentic narration reported by Tirmidhi, “The line of Prophethood and Apostleship has come to an end. After me, there will neither be a Prophet nor an Apostle.”

Narrated Thauban that the Messenger of Allah said, “30 imposters will appear in my Ummah, each one of whom will claim to be a Prophet, whereas I am the Last Prophet. There is no prophet after me.”

The Glorious Quran and the various authentic narrations of the Messenger of Allah Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws), leave absolutely no room for a believer to believe that a new Messenger will come after the death of Prophet Mohamed (saws). Whoever believes that a new Prophet will be born after Prophet Mohamed (saws) leaves the fold of Islam, and will be declared a non-muslim.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
