Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 05)
Verse 40Verses 41-44

      The above short verse consists of the last assertion about the case of Zaid and Zainab, and a very important matter to be considered by all mankind:-

      ``Mohammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God, and the seal of prophets, and Allah has the knowledge of all things.''

      Our prophet had four sons, named GHASIM-TAYIB-TAHIR and EBRAHIM, but they all died a child, and none of them reached the age of manhood. Therefore he was not the father of any man.

      So, if some people preferred to call the adopted son of our prophet, as the ``Zaid the son of Mohammad'', no harm; because he is the spiritual father of all mankind, and the said Zaid was the son of HARITHA an Ethiopian negro. Of course man should know that an adopted son cannot become his real and natural son.

      The next qualification of the prophet in the above verse is his being the seal and the last of all the Messengers of God. Mohammad is the last of the prophets because a Messenger cannot become a Messenger from God unless he becomes a prophet first. This means that after Mohammad (SA) there will come no more apostles of any kind.

      As to the meaning of the seal, all commentators have known it to be the last one and the ending of anything. The word is from the Arabic root, ``KHATM'', which means the end, close up, completion termination, or finish. In other word when a document is sealed, it means that it is complete and there can be no further addition. Our prophet, Hazrat Mohammad (SA), has completed the long line of the prophets, and there will be no more apostle or messengers from God to Mankind, in that customary way that was before Mohammad (SA). If any one has claimed to be such as Jesus, Moses, or Abraham, after Mohammad (SA); he is certainly a liar, and sooner or later will fail in his claim and promises; and he shall be disgraced, and his followers too, will be disgraced. Allah, Who, has the full knowledge of everything, has sent down His Messages perfectly and for all ages, and all kinds of people, through Mohammad and His Glorious Qurän. Contrary to the Bible and Gospel, and all other Scriptures, the Holy Qurän has not been tampered with, and has not been altered the least. The later ages won't be in need of prophet or any new scripture. They may want men of knowledge and wisdom, or doctors of Law, to expound the Holy Book, and the methodical way of prophets, but there is no need for a new law or new scripture.

      There are many other verses in the Qurän that imply our prophet Mohammad (SA), is the last and the seal of the prophets; and that, after him there will come no more Messengers from God. Some instances of such verses are as follows:-

      In S 7:158 we read:-

      ``O, Mankind! I am the Messenger of God to all of you.''

      In S 25:1 we read:-

      ``Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant [MOHAMMAD (SA)] so as to be a warner to all the worlds.''

      In the S 34:28 we read:-

      ``And We have not sent you except for all people as a Gospel and a warner.''

      And in the S 61:9 we read:-

      ``It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, in order to prevail it over all the religions; even though the polytheist may not like that.''
