Khataman Nabiyyeen – Interpretations by Eminent Learned Scholars of Islam — Page iii
عَهْدٌ ونُصلي عَمَلا رَسُول العربية. Foreword. One of the many allegations that the opponents of. Ahmadiyyat falsely charge is that this Community does not believe in the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as the Khataman-Nabiyyeen and has, therefore, departed from the fourteen hundred years old track of the orthodox Islam. This allegation, like all their other allegations, is untrue and is a baseless calumny. The actual fact is that no sect of Islam believes in the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the same force, the same sincerity, the same insight and certainty as do the Ahmadis believe. The Founder of the Ahmadiyya. Movement says: "The allegation charged against me and my followers that we do not believe in the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him as the Khataman Nabiyyeen is a scandalous lie. Those, who blame us, do not positively believe in him with even the millionth part of the zeal, conviction, insight and dead certainty with which we believe him to be the Khatamal Anbiya. ' (Al Hakam: 17-3-1905). When the above lines are presented in rebuttal of the calumnious allegations of our opponents, they are apt to say that all this is mere verbal assertion with no sincerity behind it. The truth is that Mirza Sahib has cleared a new diversion for his prophethood under the guise of ‘Ummati' or 'Zilli' Nabi. But in reality he has defied and abrogated the Quranic verse concerning 'Khataman Nabiyyeen'. The terms of ‘Zilli Prophet' or ‘Ummati. Prophet' have been coined so that the door of prophethood may remain open. This is done in the face of the fact that all the past divines have closed hermetically the door of prophethood for ever. But a little search for truth shall make it clear to the just and the fair-minded enquirer that this allegation is totally without substance and has not even the remotest relationship to facts.
