The Meanings
of Khatem (Last), Khatam (Seal)
Muslims believe Prophet Muhammad was the “Last” Prophet because of
the word Khatem (which they say means the Last), which is mentioned
in the Koran. Also the word Khatem can be read Khatam
(Seal). So it may mean the Seal of Prophets. In our
teaching it is explained why both Khatam and Khatem are correct.
He
was the Last Prophet in the sense that being Surrendered and
Submissive to God (Islam) is the Greatest Spiritual Realization
(Last Spiritual Realization). So He brought the Highest
Spiritual understanding to humanity, so in that sense, He is the
Last. He is also the Seal of the Prophets as Islam is the
Fourth Seal and if you look at The Greatest Sign
(GS - base of our teachings) you will see Islam is the top Seal in
the GS (The Seal of the Prophets):

The
Scriptures, however, reveal another Revelation as the last One:
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God
should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets. (KJV)
So
the Mystery Of God (Ghiamat, Day of Judgment, etc.) will come at the
time of the Seventh Revelation (Angel). This Seventh
Revelation or the opening of the Seven Seals is
THOTH
(The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament).
If we realize this, then not only we do accept Bab/Baha'i teachings
but also the teaching of the Mystical Paths (Hinduism, Buddhism,
Sufism, etc.).
Then
we can see it is God who has sent them all. It is then that we
can see there is no conflict between any of them.
Conclusion:
More Revelations (Prophets) will come after Prophet Muhammad.
Dogmas bring
conflict. Truth brings Unity!
