Talk:Seal of the Prophets
Bahá'u'lláh Himself calls Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, in the following verse: "Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by Thy Chosen Ones, and by the Bearers of Thy Trust, and by Him Whom Thou hast ordained to be the Seal of Thy Prophets and of Thy Messengers, to let Thy remembrance be my companion, and Thy love my aim, and Thy face my goal, and Thy name my lamp, and Thy wish my desire, and Thy pleasure my delight." (Prayers and Meditations by Bahá'u'lláh, XXV).
Furthermore, in the Kitáb-i-Iqán, Bahá'u'lláh confirms the traditional meaning of the word, "seal", as "last", from the Qur'an 33:40, in the following passage: "For even as He regarded Himself to be the “First of the Prophets” — that is Adam—in like manner, the “Seal of the Prophets” is also applicable unto that Divine Beauty. It is admittedly obvious that being the “First of the Prophets,” He likewise is their “Seal.”" (p. 162).
