In Islam, is it believed that the advent of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was told by earlier prophets? Did they say “La illaha illahla Muhammad ar-Rasulillah” I dont transliterate well, so please pardon the spelling.
Did they say He would be the last Prophet? Jazak’Allah khair.
Btw, this is not a question of whether he(saw) was the last prophet or not (as I personally believe he was the last), its a question of other prophets(pbut) foretelling his coming, and their stating that he will be the last.
If this topic has been discussed before, I would appreciate links to them. Thanks.
An example of other scripture stating it:
In the Persian scriptures…we read:
“When the Persians should sink so low in morality, a man will be born in Arabia whose followers will upset their throne, religion and everything. The mighty stiff-necked ones will be overpowered. The house which was built and in which many idols (the Kaabah) have been placed will be purged of idols and people will say their prayers facing towards it. His followers will capture the towns of the Farsi, Entaus and Balkh, and other big places round about. People will embroil with one another. The wise men of Persia and others will join his followers.” (Desature no.14)
