The Holy Quran 33:40 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًا

Translation

Muhammad ﷺ is not the father of any men among you (especially not the father of Zaid رضي الله تعالى عنه), but he is Allaah's Rasool and the seal of all Ambiyaa (after whom there shall never come another Nabi). Allaah has knowledge of all things. (Allaah knows best who deserves to be a Nabi).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
