The Life of the Last Prophet is the first album released by Yusuf Islam (after leaving the Western pop music business in 1978, when he was known as Cat Stevens).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After that time, he recorded only albums with Islamic themes, including recordings for children to learn both the Arabic alphabet and basic tenets of Islam. This album is both an attempt to give praise to Muhammad, which is encouraged as an act of faith in the Qur'an, and an attempt to reach out to young people and those who wish to understand more about Islam, and to explain why such a popular commercial recording artist would leave the business at the height of his career.

Released in 1995, the album is a spoken-word, audio production.
