"The Life of the Last Prophet" was the first album to be released by Cat Stevens after leaving the Western pop music business in 1978, changing his name to Yusuf Islam. 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 Prophet Muhammed, which is encouraged as an act of faith in the Qu'ran, and an attempt to reach out to young people and those who wish to understand more about Islam, and 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.
