To the contrary.  It indicates that Allah only wants to guide people through
the Final Prophet, Muhammad ibn `Abdillah.  This is truly a mark of honor
for him, because it entails his memory enduring upto the end of the world.
The honor is also manifested in the number of his followers being larger
than those of any other prophet.  And his message, being the Last, must be
the most complete and widely applicable.

He already received his prophethood during his first coming; he is not a new
prophet.  Moreover, he will not be coming in the role of a prophet, but
rather as a follower of the Final Prophet.

As a final note, let us remind ourselves that reason and analogy cannot be
appointed as judges over clear texts of the shari`ah.  If one cannot see the
wisdom of something, he should blame himself and criticize his own lack of
understanding, rather than criticize the ruling. And Allah is the granter of
success.

"And peace be upon whomever follows the guidance.
Indeed, it has been revealed to us, that the punishment is upon whomever
denies and turns away."
