Abstract
We, the Muslims, firmly believe that Muhammad (PBUH) is one of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah. Seen in this perspective, it can be safely presumed that the objective and aim of Muhammad’s (PBUH) Prophethood cannot be fundamentally different from those of all other Prophets. Further, it is our belief that he (PBUH) occupies a unique position amongst all the Prophets as he is declared as the seal of the Prophets (Khatam an Nabiyyeen)1 and the final Messenger (Akhir ur Rusul). Prophethood not only ends and comes to a close with the advent of Muhammad (PBUH), but it also achieves its final plenitude, consummation and culmination in him. This means that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) represents the completion of all earlier prophetic missions, as well as the fulfillment and full blossoming of all antecedent Divine revelations,2 which by itself confers on him a distinct and special place in the galaxy of noble prophets (PBUT). This brief treatise is aimed at highlighting the divinely ordained aim of the strenuous struggle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his devoted companions for achieving the goal of his Prophethood.
