33.40 مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّـهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا
33.40 Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but is God?s Apostle and the Seal of all Prophets. And God has indeed full knowledge of everything.
My understanding of this matter, is that what God is telling us is the same thing He keeps telling: prophets are all one, praised, exalted, because of the divine light and message, humanity is one, praised, exalted, because of the divine light and message, the seal of the prophets is THE MESSAGE. There has only been one message from God, the same message all over and over, in one language or another, in one form or another, there is only one message coming from God: we are Hi, everything is His, and to Him everyone and everything shall return. The seal of Prophecy stated by the prophet who received the Qur'an is the seal of conformity to the Qur'an, of corresponding to the Qur'an.
muhammad, may be a name or not, it is grade a condition attained by submission and belonging in heart and mind to the rabb, may be it is a name or may it is not and what nomad says makes sense that we all receive a message personally when we dare and can attain to that blessing and exaltation. It is humanity's vocation to be exalted and be one with everything and everybody and with all the prophets.
One again, the message is the unity of God, the unity of everything. We are not loose, we are not lost, we are one.
