Quran 33:40 – No More Revelation (Khatam-e-Nabuwat)
ASSALAMUALAIKUM
Under Aayat 33:40
مَا کَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ اَبَاۤ اَحَدٍ مِّنۡ رِّجَالِکُمۡ وَ لٰکِنۡ رَّسُوۡلَ اللّٰہِ وَ خَاتَمَ النَّبِیّٖنَ ؕ وَ کَانَ اللّٰہُ بِکُلِّ شَیۡءٍ عَلِیۡمًا ﴿۴۰﴾
[In reality,] Muḥammad is the father of no male [92] among you; in fact, he is the Messenger of God and the seal of the prophets. [Hence he alone had to fulfil this responsibility [93]] and God has knowledge of all things.[94]
Ghamidi sahab wrote in footnote:
The Prophet (sws) has repeatedly declared in clear and explicit words that he himself is the last of the prophets. Furthermore, he has also made it clear that not only the rank and position of prophethood have been terminated, its essence has also been terminated. Thus no possibility remains for a person to receive divine revelations or visions or to converse and come in contact with God. After the termination of the institution of prophethood, all these things have ended too. (See:Al-Bukhārī, nos. 3335, 3455, 6990)
How it can be said from this Ayah that no more revelation can come, and there is a full stop on revelation from God now (except good dreams)?

The word seal of the prophets is a clear indication that Muhammad was the seal who ended the line of prophethood. This is what seal is for, just like the seal of a letter which indicates that nothing can be added to or subtracted from the letter anymore.
The Prophet on some occasion while telling people that no more conversation with God is possible, the companions felt sad. Prophet then solaced them by saying that true dreams shall continue to be experienced by some pious people.
