Summary/Abstract: This essay thematizes the Muslim’s view of the Qur’an as the Last Word of God focusing on whether or not this finiteness and finality of Revelation have a thwarting effect on future of the mankind. The main question of this essay is: Has God, as the Absolute Being, with the Qur’an as His final Word put an end to human curiosity thus closing the prospects of mankind? The author of this essay believes that the Qur’an does not close the path towards the future of mankind, on the contrary, it strongly encourages mankind to act on their free will and cooperate with God thus requiring man to be a creative being. Many passages from the Qur’an bear witness to this, stirring desire in man, the Qur’an encourages him to boldly, in the name of God, move towards the future.
