"Al-Aqib" is the one after whom there is no prophet. This attribute is mentioned among the names of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, signifying that he came after all prophets and that Allah sealed prophethood with him. This word has been interpreted in hadiths and the writings of scholars to mean "the last of the prophets," as indicated by the Almighty's saying: "and the Seal of the Prophets."
