69 The Exalted Station of Khaatamul Anbiyaa’ in the Eyes of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at ne cannot fully grasp the intense devotion and enlightned perception of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at about the status of the Khaatamul Anbiyaa’ wal Asfiya (Seal of the Prophets and the Elect of God), unless one reads his writings. Some excerpts from his writings in this context are reproduced below. He states: "The accusation levelled against me and my followers that we do not believe the Messenger of Allah sa to be Khaatamun Nabiyyeen , is a colossal calumny against us. The force, certainty, perception and insight with which we believe the Holy Prophet sa to be Khaatamun Nabiyyeen is such that the other people's belief in this regard is not even the millionth part, in strength, as compared to ours. But then they do not have the requisite capability for it either. They do not have any genuine understanding of the truth and essence of the Khaatamul Anbiyaa’ 's fact of being the Seal of Prophets ( Khatme Nubuwwat ). They have simply been handed down this verbal expression from their forefathers, but they are oblivious of its real meaning, and do not know what " Khatme Nubuwwat " is, and what the implication of affirming one's belief in it is ? But we believe the Holy Prophet sa to be Khaatamul Anbiyaa’ (the Ultimate Prophet) with perfect insight (let Allah the Exalted be the best witness over it). And God has manifested the truth of Khatme Nubuwwat to us in such a manner that we particularly savour the elixir of its perception which has been given to us to drink. None can imagine it except those who have been given to drink from this fountain. " [Malfoozaat, vol. I, pp. 227-228, new edition] O
