Has revelation ceased after the Seal of the Prophets, and can it descend upon a woman, or did it descend upon Moses' mother and address Mary?

There is no way to escape division and disagreement except by returning to the Qur’an and Sunnah, following what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions were upon, and avoiding innovations and newly invented matters that contradict his methodology. Prophethood, in its jurisprudential sense, is exclusive to men, and revelation ceased with the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is the Seal of the Prophets. The revelation received by the mother of Moses was an inspiration, not prophethood. The claim of the existence of a mus'haf or Qur'an specific to Fatimah or the Household of the Prophet is baseless, due to the lack of tawatur (consecutive narration) in it and its not being transmitted by trustworthy narrators, in addition to the fact that the Qur'an is preserved from any distortion or कमी. There is no specific religious knowledge unique to the Household of the Prophet, and Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, explicitly stated that he was not singled out for anything except what was in the scabbard of his sword. The truth should be spread, and one should be keen to ask Allah for guidance, especially during night prayers with the prophetic supplication.
