[quote]Salam Samsher Ali,

The belief in the last prophet is one half of  the first pillar of Islam. I am surprised you don't think it is in the Quran.  Here it is:

33.40 Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the prophets; and Allah is cognizant of all things.

As for your other question about following the sunnah of the prophet, that is in several verses of the Quran. Sunnah means a well established practice, the ways things are done. Quran asks us to follow the ways of prophets, especially Ibrahim (a.s.) and Muhammad (s.w).

3.32: Say: Obey Allah and the messenger. But if they turn away, lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).

3.132: And obey Allah and the Messenger, that you may be shown mercy

4.69: And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!

8.24: O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life; and know that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.

4.125: Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend

Naturally the next question that arises how can we follow the ways of the prophets when they passed away centuries ago. Allah would not ask us to follow their ways if we did not have in our possession their ways. But we do have their ways, the method of salat, the method of sawm, the method of zakat, and the method of hajj among other things. So we should follow these practices.[/quote]
