ISLAM The phrase, ''Last Prophet'', is used primarily in Islam , where it refers to Muhammad , whom Muslims hold to be the final prophet in the Monotheistic Abrahamic Tradition . Muhammad is similarly called the '' Seal Of The Prophets ''. JUDAISM Classical Judaism teaches that there will be no prophet greater than Moses , and all the other Prophets mentioned in the Tanakh ( Hebrew Bible ) were inferior to Moses and his prophecies. This was enunciated by Maimonides in the Jewish Principles Of Faith About The Status Of Moses : Moses was superior to all prophets, whether they preceded him or arose afterwards. Moses attained the highest possible human level. He perceived God to a degree surpassing every human that ever existed... God spoke to all other prophets through an intermediary. Moses alone did not need this; this is what the Torah means when God says "Mouth to mouth, I will speak to him. The last of the twelve Minor Prophets (canonically) (and the final book of the Christian Old Testament ) is commonly attributed to a prophet by the name of Malachi . OTHER RELIGIONS Other religious traditions have used this or similar terms. Mani , founder of the Persian faith Manichaeism , also claimed to be the ''Seal of the Prophets'' and the last prophet. In Mandaeanism , John The Baptist is considered the last prophet. Mahavira , the founder of Jainism , also claimed to be the last prophet in a series of 24 Tirthankar s. |
