Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 292
opinions expressed by many of the Ummah's saints and scholars who believed that non Law bearing prophethood had not ceased but shall continue within the Ummah. For instance, Hazrat Imam Mohiyyiud Din. Ibni Arabi, a distinguished commentator of the Holy Quran states: 'From the study and contemplation of the Darud we have arrived at the definite conclusion that there shall, from among the Muslims, certainly be persons whose status, in the matter of prophethood, shall advance to the level of prophets, if Allah pleases. But they shall not be given any book of law. '33. The Muhaddith of Dehli, Hazrat Shah Wali Ullah subscribed to this opinion and stated: 'The meaning of the Holy Prophet being the Khataman Nabiyeen is that there shall not now appear a person whom God may appoint with a new Law for mankind, that is to say, there shall be no prophet who shall come with a new Law. '³ '34. The Hakim ul Millat infact gave credence to the opinion that prophets within the Ummah may arise when he stated: 'There cannot be an independent prophet after the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who is not his follower and his adherent. *³5. The Muhaddith of Delhi's opinion was shared by the Muhaddith of the second millenium, Hazrat Sheikh Ahmad Farooqi of Sarhind who stated that:. The rising of prophets after the Khatamar Rasul Hazrat. Muhammed, the Chosen One, peace and blessings be upon him, from among his own followers and as a heritage, does not in any way run counter to his status as the Khatamar rasul. Therefore, O reader, do not be among those who doubt. '³6 33. Fatuhati Makiyyah: Vol 1. pg 545 35. Al Khairul Katheer: pg 111 34. Tafheemati llahiyyah 36.
