According to the unanimous consensus of Islamic scholarship, Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) is revered as the final messenger of God (Rasul Allah) and the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam an-Nabiyyin), as stated in the Quran (33:40). Sent as a 'mercy to all the worlds' (Rahmatan lil-'alamin, Quran 21:107), his primary mission was to deliver the Quran, God's ultimate and universal revelation to humanity. Classical scholars such as Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi explain that his significance extends beyond revelation; his life serves as the 'excellent model' (Uswa Hasana, Quran 33:21) for all believers. His character, divinely described as being of a 'great moral standard' (Khuluqin 'Azim, Quran 68:4), is considered the living embodiment of the Quran's teachings. The linguistic analysis of his name, from the root for 'praise,' reflects his theological standing as the most praised of creation. Following his example (the Sunnah) is thus considered an integral part of faith, bridging divine command with human practice and completing the path of all prophets before him.
