Ahadith on Finality

There are a great number of Ahadith on the Finality of the Holy Prophet۔(ﷺ) In order to provide a brief understanding of this extremely important concept only a few are noted below. These Ahadith adequately prove the concept in various manners and ways to make it understandable to all Muslims.

Even to his beloved cousin and later son in Law, Hazrat Ali, the holy prophet likened his relation to Hazrat Haroon’s (Aaron’s) with Hazrat Musa (Moses) but specifically denied that there would be no prophets after him.

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ)warned the Ummah that there would be many imposters who would raise claim to be the prophets of Allah and all of them would be liars. For the institution of Prophethood, he gave this example that with his prophethood the last brick in a complete building has been laid and there would be no prophets after him. The reader would find that there is no ambiguity in the concept of Quranic Verses about the Finality of Prophethood

Hadith No.1:

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty but say: ‘Would that this brick be put in its place!’ So I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets.”
