Note my point, the Quran is the immutable words of God and whatever is conveyed 1400 years ago is supposedly final and applicable till all Muslims go to Paradise with eternal life, if not till eternity.
kind of off topic, but wish to ask.
do Muslims assume the Koran is the Final Word (I assume they do - as Christians - per their missinterpretation of Revelations - i,e, they assume that work's mandate to not add it means there is cannot be a latter revalation/book from God - when that mandate refers to the work of The Apocalypes itself, and not to other latter revalations God may provide).
i,e, does the Koran explicitly say:
1. there cannot be any addition to this work
2. there cannot be latter works from prophets that also are God's word.
asking you - assuming you know the Koran.
and utterly off topic of thread, sorry.
It is not assumed by Muslims but rather it is divinely ordained by Allah in the Quran, the Quran itself is the Final Revelation and Muhammad is the Final Prophet.
It is imperative for any Muslim to believe the above, else they will go to HELL.
Not only that the Quran is claiming it is the Final Revelation, the Quran also condemned all existing Holy Texts [Bible, Torah, Gita, etc.] as corrupted and useless.
The above imply your points;
1. there cannot be any addition to this work
2. there cannot be latter works from prophets that also are God's word.
This why the Ahamadiyahs, the Sufis, i.e. the later
more human version of Islam are condemned as heretics and are often killed.

The Holy Quran clearly states that the divine guidance of Allah is completed with the revelation of the very last verse revealed in the Quran, which was in Surah 5, verse 3:
{This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.}
The occasion of this revelation was the last sermon of the prophet, delivered during his last pilgrimage. On this occasion he (peace be upon him) said:
“O people! No prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore O people! And, understand words that I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.” (Al-Haythami)
It is evident from these words that:
(a) Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the last prophet.
(b) The Quran, along with the sunnah – which, in fact, is the practical interpretation of the Quran – is the perfected guidance of Allah to mankind.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) has also said:
“…O Allah, be my witness, that I have conveyed your message to Your people.”(Ibn Majah)
And, remember that it was as part of this sermon that the prophet recited to them a revelation from Allah, which he had just received, and which completed and finalized the Quran, for it was the last passage to be revealed (Surah 5, verse 3 – quoted above).
Towards the end of his sermon, the prophet (peace be upon them) asked:
“O people, have I faithfully delivered unto you my message?”
A powerful murmur of assents: “O Allah! Yes!” arose from thousands of pilgrims and the vibrant words “Allahumma na`am” (God! Surely yes…) rolled like thunder throughout the valley.
The prophet raised his forefinger and said:
“O Allah bear witness that I have conveyed your message to Your people.” (Ibn Majah)
In addition, we can read the following verse too in the Quran – Surah 33, verse 40:
{Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the messenger of Allah and the seal of all the prophets. And Allah knows all things.}
Scholars of Arabic language are unanimous in the meaning of the word khaatam(seal). Every mufassir (commentator of the Quran) has translated khaatam to mean final, including Ibn Jarir al-Tabri, Imam Fakhru-din al-Razi, Imam Jalaalu-din Suyooti, and Ibn Kathir.
The commentators have also agreed that anyone who denies that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the final and last prophet, is not a Muslim.
