Finality of Prophethood A Logical Culmination

Finality of Prophethood A Logical Culmination

It was perfectly logical as well as inevitable, too, that after the complete and final guidance had been vouchsafed to the Prophet of Islam, the chain of prophecy should come to an end with him. The creed and the law, the individual and the social norms of behaviour, all were finally and fully established by the last Prophet on principles so complete and appropriate that a healthy and progressive society could be raised and sustained on its bases in any country or age. At the same time, the society to be so established allowed full scope to the individual without applying any coercion or curbs on him. The development of individual’s personality and the perfection of his spirituality goes ahead in such a social order jointly with the advancement of the entire social group. The individual finds nothing wanting, nothing against his natural, inborn dispositions in this social order, since, he is fully equipped to keep pace with the society evolving to a higher plans of its growth and development. This is brought about by the law given by Islam which is always ahead of time__a superb example of divine wisdom for it allows both the society and the individual to blossom without allowing one to impair the growth of the other.

This vast universe, the law sustaining its existence and our knowledge of the past and present conditions of man all the world over, leave no doubt that God has created every-thing in just and balanced measure. There is nothing superfluous of wanting in it. The disbalance inconsistency, if we observe anywhere, is really an indication of our won faulty perception or imperfect knowledge of the natural phenomena and its secrets. But, the law governing human behaviour needs far keener perception and finer sensibility to apprehend it correctly than that required to understand the outward, physical manifestations of this universe. This is because the law of human behaviour has a bearing the intrinsic essence or quintessence of the world spirit, which forms the objective of its existence. The externality of the world is merely an expression of its inwardness. And, since Muhammad’s prohphethood had laid bare the innermost recesses of human heart___the essential nature of man___it did not require any other evidence to prove the culmination of divine guidance. For this was the ultimate end of divine guidance, and was, in reality, fully achieved through the prophethood of Muhammad, the appearance of a new apostle of God would have been against His own law besides putting humanity to yet another but unnecessary trial.
