Thesis Summary
The Muhammadan message is presented here as the conclusion of the messages and as a decisive stage, not as a literal extension of what preceded it. Within this framework, its legislative aspect is understood as opening the door to human ijtihad in elaboration and organization, rather than turning everything issued in its time into a fixed ruling for all times.

Place of Support within the Book
This understanding rests on the first section of the book, where the human stage after the messages is presented, and the status of prophethood and messengerhood, together with what is connected to it in terms of legislation and ijtihad, is discussed.
Limits of the Reading
This is an interpretive summary based only on the documented atoms available here. It does not go beyond what those atoms have made explicit concerning a terminal transition, a lightening of the legislative aspect, and a linkage between the prophetic act and its historical context.
