Khatim is also known as the seal of the Prophet and holds immense significance in Islam. It is a title used in the Quran in reference to Prophet Muhammad. The term is interpreted to mean that Prophet Muhammad was the last of the prophets, and there will be none after him. This belief of his finality is a central tenet of Islam and is also part of the Shahadah. This interpretation is also confirmed through several hadith (i.e. oral traditions) passed down by the Prophet that state that he is the last messenger of God.
