Sura-33 [Al Ahzab madina 90]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ...

33:40. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men,

but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets:

C3731. When a document is sealed, it is complete, and there can be no further addition.

The holy Prophet Muhammad closed the long line of Messengers. Allah's teaching is and will always be continuous, but there has been and will be no Prophet after Muhammad. The later ages will want thinkers and reformers, not Prophets.

This is not an arbitrary matter. It is a decree full of knowledge and wisdom: "for Allah has full knowledge of all things."

...وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا ﴿٤٠﴾

and Allah has full knowledge of all things.

Asad’s Version:

33:40 [And know, O believers, that] Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, 50 but is God's Apostle and the Seal of all Prophets. 51 And God has indeed full knowledge of everything.
