Which one should you use?

While آخری is the standard adjective, the form آخر is a formal alternative used most commonly in religious and spiritual discussions.

The adjective آخری is invariant, so it does not change its form to match the gender or number of the noun it modifies.

aakhri

While آخری means 'last' in a sequence, it cannot be used to mean 'most recent' as in 'last week', which requires the word پچھلا.
In religious contexts, the word آخر is often used to refer to the afterlife, specifically the 'last' or final abode of the soul.
In the context of the Prophet Muhammad, the term خاتم is used instead of آخری to denote the 'last' or 'seal' of the prophets.
