Surah 7:34-35 - Every Nation hath its Term

The Details of the Question
"To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation). O ye children of Adam! whenever there come to you Messengers from amongst, you rehearsing my signs unto you― those who are righteous and mend (their lives)― on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve." Messengers will still come; and 2) If every nation hath its term, when will that under the banner of Islam end?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

- Before our Prophet, each nation was sent a prophet. Our Prophet is the last Prophet. There will be no prophets after him. He was sent as the last prophet to the whole mankind not to a single nation. The following is stated in the Quran: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.” (al-Ahzab, 33/40)  

According to what Hazrat Abu Hurayra narrates, the Prophet (pbuh) said, “I have been given superiority over the other prophets in six respects: I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror (in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me: the earth has been made for me clean and a place of worship; I have been sent to all mankind and the line of prophets is closed with me.” (Muslim, Masajid, 5).

Saba’,34/28)

- The ummah of Islam will continue to live until the Day of Judgment.
