LessonsClaim and Evidence: What Creed Texts Do and Do Not EstablishQuiz

وَإِنَّهُ خَاتَمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِمَامُ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ وَسَيِّدُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَحَبِيبُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
The Prophet ﷺ is the Seal of the Prophets, leader of the God-fearing, master of the Messengers, and beloved of the Lord of the worlds.

Claim under examination: Someone treats Khātam al-anbiyāʾ as only an honorific and infers that new prophethood remains possible after the Prophet ﷺ.

What the text establishes: Finality is stated as a distinct attribute alongside other honors. Khātam al-anbiyāʾ means no prophet will come after him ﷺ.

What does not follow: The attributes of leadership and divine love do not erase the separate meaning of finality.

Application: Among the titles, identify the one that explicitly indicates the end of prophethood.
