Asalamun Alikum
I think also brother Joseph, its worth to mention to most people who believe that messengers will not come after the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), that there is a difference between a prophet and a messenger. I think most people assume that messengers bring new revelations. And most people call Muhammad(pbuh) as a Rasulna(our messenger) instead of Nabeeyna(our prophet)
what most people keep in mind is the Quran is the final revelation and that Muhammad (pbuh) is the final prophet.
So when they hear that messengers will continue to come they first think that how can this happen when the final book is the Quran. People don't understand the difference between them.
Also I dont think I heard of anyone to claim to be a messenger of God, all I actually heard was someone claiming to either be the messiah or the mehdi or a prophet, even though they believe in the Quran. And they end up turning there beliefs into a sect or party.
I think a messenger of the revelation is anyone trying to help out people who never heard of the Quran or the message. And spreading the word. maybe translating the message into other languages and working hard. And not holding to be part of any sects or party or also not taking any fees and not doing it for any self interests. Maybe a site like this is a good example. Allahu Ahlam.
