𝕿𝖍𝖊 last messenger is the final prophet in the lineage of the Abrahamic prophets. The last messenger is the only messenger who almost three quarters of the world is unwilling to know and understand the teachings off. However, you are not included in that list of ignorant people because of the sole fact that you are here, and are willing to know.
So, what do we mean by the term the last messenger?
Keeping in mind that this person or 'Messenger' is the last person Almighty God will send on the earth for the correction of the misdeeds performed by the society, he needs to be an example for every case scenario or every rule and conduct of life.
First and foremost, he must be a human.
Because if it is, lets suppose an angel than it would be easy to commit crimes and sins, and argue that we do not have the same capacity and capabilities as that angel. We are imperfect humans who are bound to make mistakes. The people would not have taken the teachings, sufferings and gains of the angel, as authentic and would have placed the argument that "they" are the IMPERFECT creation and hence cannot follow the teachings of the PERFECT creation.
His message must transcend the boundaries of time and people.
This quality is a must because a racist leader is not someone anyone would want to follow except for that race he or she supports and even then some people detest such 'favouritism'. If the final prophet brings a message only for the whites or only for the blacks or only for a small minority or a vast majority it still prevents a few from joining it. And if that religion is the only ticket or key to paradise it would only be fair for the few people it was limited to. What about the others? They deserve a chance as well. Don't you think so?
If this religion or final message was only limited to the time of the prophet who is bringing it what about the people of the coming generations? They deserve a chance to win the ticket of heaven as well, wouldn't you agree? Hence we can conclude that
He must be a peace builder whilst being a leader.
If this messenger is a pacifist what about the commandments of war? It isn't unnatural for people to be at war ; the human history since the dawn of time proves this bloody fact over and over again that people, sometimes if not always, are at war, whether with themselves or with other people or nations. So, it would be more logical to have commands in order to tackle such situations more effectively.
However, it certainly does not imply that we must be at war constantly. No, this messenger should be the symbol of peace and a source of protection for the people it reaches out to. So, he, the messenger, must spread his word through his actions of peace and protect his people if threatened with firmness and stability.
He must be soft hearted yet Just.
He should be kind, because kindness is the best method to reach a lot of people. However his soft heartedness should not be equated with naivety. He must know when to make the firm decisions that are the most beneficial for the society and for his people. He should judge people with fairness and not generalise them.
He must be happy yet he should experience sorrow.
It is unrealistic for a person to always be happy. The same as it is unrealistic to be sad all the time. Hence this person should experience both feelings to the fullest in order to give the people of the coming generation a layout on how to react in extreme situations of either emotions for example the birth of a child or the death of a spouse.
His message and character should be preserved
This is the final and last message hence it would be foolish if this final message too would be corrupted by the hands of the wicked mislead by satan (may God guide them to the right path). Hence their must be a surety that his message will remain preserved forevermore.
Same is the case for his character. His character is an example of mankind so if it is lost beneath the oceans of history that manifests after his passing than how can he be known as the final prophet.
He should not be guilty of any charge.
Quite a simple point. He should not be guilty of committing a crime cause why would any one follow a man who has a criminal background? If a person is known to lie once or even twice you would question his authenticity. Hence this messenger should be an honest man.
Finality of his Prophethood
He is the final messenger that means their should not be a single doubt of the finality of his message. He is the final brick that completes the pillar of the Abrahamic religions. Everything ends with him.
Their are many more qualities of such a person who is meant to be the leader of the entire world however their are too many to list. So, from the above information we can summarise the fact that this prophet would be the leading example of all of mankind. His life will be the perfect guideline for our own lives.
We have now understood what it means to be the last prophet now lets answer the second question :
Who is the last prophet?
