The Life of the Final Messenger ﷺ
The book starts with a background of pre-Islamic Arabia known as the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) where idol worship, tribal conflict, and moral corruption were widespread. The arrival messenger of allah was not just a turning point for the Arabian Peninsula but a revolution for humanity. From his noble lineage to his birth in Makkah in the year 570 CE, the early chapters walk the reader through key events of his upbringing.
His reputation as Al-Ameen (the Trustworthy), even before revelation, illustrates his innate character and purity.As the book progresses, we are introduced to the momentous event of the first revelation at the cave of Hira, when Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) conveyed the opening verses of Surah Al-Alaq. This marked the beginning of a mission that would change the course of history.
Prophethood and the Call to Islam
Muhammad ﷺ’s message was simple but profound: worship Allah alone, abandon idolatry, uphold justice, care for the poor, and live with honesty and integrity. Despite facing fierce resistance from the Quraysh and other tribes of Makkah, he remained patient, persistent, and committed to his mission.
The book refers to his Hijrah to Madinah, the establishment of the first Muslim community, and his role as both a Prophet and a statesman. Through crucial moments in his life such as the Battle of Badr, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and the Conquest of Makkah, we witness his mercy and his never-failing tendency for peace and guidance.
The Seal of Prophethood
A central theme in this book is the concept of Khatam an-Nabiyyin the Seal of the Prophets. Al-Khidr emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not merely a continuation of previous prophets but the final one. There will be no prophet after him.
This belief is rooted in the Qur’an:
“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.” (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40)
Al-Khidr explains how this finality signifies the perfection and completion of divine guidance. Islam, through the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, provides a complete framework for human life. There is no need for further prophets because the message is universal, timeless, and preserved.
