CHAPTER FIVE. CONTINUATION OF DIVINE. REVELATION AND COMMUNICATION. The adversaries of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believe that with the advent of the Holy Prophet of Islam, peace and blessings of. Allah be upon him,: 1 'all apostleship ended and all revelations stopped absolutely” and hence 'there is no possibilty of Divine revelation in future. At the most if someone receives an inspiration from Allah he will receive it in the form of pious dreams. "2. However, since Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian claimed to be a recipient of constant revelations from God Almighty, his adversaries. take exception to his claim and allege that: 'A hypothesis of [Hazrat] Mirza [Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian] which causes unrest in a Muslim's mind and opens the door of chaos and anarchy in Muslim society is his view that "Divine revelations and communication" are essential for the validity of a religion. "³. These contentious pseudo scholars of the Ummah then continue to state that: 'If one were to look carefully into the concepts preached by the [Hazrat] Mirza [Ghulam Ahmad] regarding the continuity of Divine communication and his views that this was essential for one's salvation, it would reveal not only a spirit of revolt against the finality of Prophethood, but against Prophethood itself. "4. Infact, unable to resist themselves, these adversaries then subtly term. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's belief in the continuation of Divine revelation and communication as: 1. Zaheer, E.
