Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men
he is God&rsquo
s messenger and the Seal of the Prophets: God knows everything.&rdquo
(33:40). The deconstruction of the concept of &ldquo
the Seal of the Prophets&rdquo
through identifying its different spiritual-historical meanings is particularly important and partially analyzed through an inter-religious methodological approach. If indeed the Prophet Muhammad is undoubtedly the last of the prophets in order of time in the Abrahamic tradition, and thus in a literal sense &ldquo
the background of the 7th-century pre-urban Hijaz reflects a different cultural-economic and historical development in comparison with the Mediterranean-Mesopotamian basin. This article aims to reflect on the meanings that &ldquo
assumed in the Qur&rsquo
anic verse 33:40, as the adoption of different narratives to establish an Abrahamic prophetic continuity with a clear emphasis on Islamic&ndash
Christian dialogue
the significance of these meanings reflects the opportunity for reciprocal understanding between the two most important global religions and their awareness of prophets and prophecy, i.e., on relations with God, the pact with human beings and eschatological predictions.
