Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final messenger in Islam, revered as the Seal of the Prophets. Muslims believe he was sent by Allah (God) to guide humanity to the truth, completing the message that was revealed to earlier prophets like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all).
