It would also amount—God forbid—to falsifying the verse: َّٖ اﻟﻨَّﺒِني ََ وَﺧَﺎمت ِّٰ اهلل َ رَّﺳُﻮْل ْ وَﻟٰـﻜِﻦ 180 This verse contains an implied prophecy that prophethood has now been sealed till the Day of Judgement, and no one—with the exception of the bur ū z , who is [metaphorically] the Holy Prophet sa himself—has the power to receive such manifest divine knowledge as is received by prophets as. Since I am the Bur ū z of Muhammad sa that has been ordained since eternity, I have, therefore, been granted prophethood in the form of bur ū z , and the entire world is powerless to stand against it, for a Seal has been set upon prophethood. A bur ū z of Muhammad sa was destined to come in the latter days with all the perfections of Muhammad sa , and so he has come. Now this is the only window through which one can get water from the fountainhead of prophethood. 181 This quotation is so clear and so vivid in its explanation of the concept of bur ū z that only the bias of Farhan Khan’s mind can refuse to understand it. Hence, the onus of proving that a contradiction somehow exists in the above quotation is upon Farhan Khan. In another book, the Promised Messiah as provides further explanation: 180 But he is the Messenger of All ā h and the Seal of the Prophets. —Al- Ahz ā b, 33:41 [Publishers] 181 A Misconception Removed , Pages 15-19
