Arif Rabbani, Abdul Karim Jilani (d. 767 AH), says: 'The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, was the. Khataman-Nabiyyeen because he imparted to us the knowledge of wisdom, guidance and all the spiritual secrets and he directed us to all these in a very clear and exhaustive manner. ' (Al-Insanul Kamil,. Vol. 1, Ch. 36, p. 69). The very renowned Maulana Rum (d. 672AH) states in some of his Persian verses: 'He was the Khatam because no one in generosity. Has ever been like him before nor shall ever be:. When an artisan excels to the excellence in his craft,. You never say to him that the craftsmanship has now come to its end. ' (Mathnavi Maulana Rum, Ch. 6). The Promised Messiah, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya. Movement, says: 'The fact is that no prophet in reality surpasses or is even equal to him in the perfection of spiritual attainments. Even the angels, leave alone others, could not dare claim equality with the Holy. Prophet, peace and blessings on him, in this field. ' (Braheeni. Ahmadiyya, p. 258). The insight and wisdom of our Holy Prophet, peace be on him, is far superior to the wisdom of all his followers taken collectively. . Nay, if my brethren be not offended, I would claim, for which I shall furnish reasonable grounds, that the insight and the wisdom of all the prophets taken together cannot equal his insight and wisdom.
