Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Final Conclusion- Your Journey to Certainty 2nd Case Study: Muhammad - The Messenger of God and the Seal of Prophets and Messengers 1st Research Topic - Logical Reasoning and Inevitability of the Termination of Prophethood and Divine Revelations Proposed Questions: Why is it necessary that there be closure to prophethood and the divine revelations? Why is it essential that there exist a Seal of Prophets who would be the Last of Messengers?

What is the rationale and justification behind that? Does that follow logical reasoning or not? Logical Reasoning: If we take a look at the things around us, whether living or dead, large or small, we will always find that everything has a limited lifespan and an end to it, after which it ceases to exist. This natural phenomenon is typically the course of life in the universe. Even the great celestial bodies have a specified age and they eventually die.

So, everything in existence must have an end and this reality is inevitable and logical based on what we observe around us. After all, we never saw anything in this life that did not have an end to it for us to believe otherwise. Rather, everything has a beginning and eventually reaches an end. Beginning and end are natural phenomena which are a logical part of the universe and existence.

Prophethood and divine revelations represented by prophets and messengers had a beginning, so it also has to have an ending since it is part of life and existence. So, termination of prophethood and divine revelations is logical and essential to happen as that is the natural course of life. The mind can expect and deduce the essentiality of its occurrence even if it did not happen yet.

So if it actually happened, then there is no surprise or peculiarity in this matter since surprise and peculiarity are only present in things that are illogical and contradicts sound judgment. As for the logistics, mentalities, and expectations, there is no peculiarity and no need for further proof or evidence. As we mentioned in the 1st case study, the divine rules and laws of everything are regulated such that they are steady and constant.

Even if they changed for a period of time, that change is for the purpose of reaching a steady state that is stable. For example, in the radioactive elements such as Uranium, they keep emitting rays and particles from its atoms until it eventually reaches a stable form.
