Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — The Seal of the Prophets

In the spiritual and intellectual journey of humanity, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ holds a unique and final position. Known as *Khatam an-Nabiyyin*—the Seal of the Prophets—his role is not only to complete the divine message but to perfect the moral and ethical framework for all times to come. His life, teachings, and the revelation of the Quran through him mark the completion of a divine cycle that began with Prophet Adam (AS). **Al Latif — The Subtle Gift of Allah to Mankind** One of the divine names of Allah is **Al Latif (The Subtle, The Gentle)**. This name signifies the kindness and grace that works in unseen ways. In the grand design of the universe, one of the greatest manifestations of Allah’s Latif nature is His choice to send **Prophet Muhammad ﷺ** as the final messenger to mankind.

Understanding Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from the Quran Majeed

Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is not only the final messenger of Islam but also a timeless symbol of mercy, guidance, and truth.

It teaches us where respect ends and responsibility to the truth begins. 💖 The Command to Honor Parents The Quran is filled with verses urging believers to treat their parents with utmost respect and love. Surah Luqman beautifully reminds us: “And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents.
