Muhammad and the final message

This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a unit that explores the Muslim understanding of prophethood, with a particular focus on Muhammad. It outlines key beliefs that many Muslims hold about prophets as messengers chosen by Allah to guide humanity. The video highlights that while prophets such as Moses and Jesus are highly respected within the Muslim worldview, Muhammad is believed to be the final prophet, delivering God’s complete and final message through the Qur’an. The Shahada, a central pillar of Islam, affirms belief in one God and in Muhammad as His final messenger. This foundational belief shapes Muslim identity and practice across the world.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – Prophets. It prepares teachers to explore how Muhammad’s life, the revelation of the Qur’an, and events such as the night journey (al-Isra wal-Mi’raj) remain deeply meaningful to Muslims today. Teachers are supported to introduce respectful terminology, such as using “peace be upon him” after the name Muhammad, and to help children understand how Muslims view the Qur’an as unchanging since its first compilation. The video encourages thoughtful, inclusive discussions about the role of prophets, the significance of Muhammad’s example in the Hadith, and the importance of unity in God’s message across different prophets in the Muslim worldview.
