Seal of the Prophets is a title given to Muhammad on account of his being the last prophet according to Islamic tradition. He was not only considered a prophet, but also a messenger, since he was the medium through which the Quran was revealed.
Before Muhammad, the terms were reputedly used in Manichaeism, a Persian faith whose founder Mani claimed to be the Seal of the Prophets and The Last Prophet.
