108 Mahzarnama part of my faith, and it is interwoven into every fibre of my being. It is not within my power to eradicate it. " [Al-Hakam, 17 January, 1901] One Who Put an End to Prophets If the interpretation of "one who put an end to Prophets" is adopted, then the issue that demands attention is: how did the Holy Prophet sa put an end to Prophets? The question of putting an end to their physical life and material existence did not arise, because all the other Prophets had already died physically—the only Prophet, i. e. , Hadhrat Isa, on whom be peace, who was considered to be alive, is still regarded as alive, even after the Khaatamun Nabiyyeen sa. As regards "putting an end to Prophets" in the figurative sense , it is indeed correct that Hadhrat Khaatamun Nabiyyeen sa has put an end to all Prophets in respect of the excellences of Prophethood: compared to all the other Prophets, he was higher in the level of perfection, more elevated and more eminent. His true grandeur is that, in him, not only the Prophethood but all possible spiritual excellences also reached the end limits. For instance, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at wrote in one of his couplets: In his holy personage, every excellence reached its end. No doubt, every Prophet came to an end. He further amplified in his book, Taudheeh-e-Maraam : "Our leader and master, and leader of all, and the most superior of the Messengers, Hadhrat Khaatamun Nabiyyeen , Muhammad, the chosen one sa , has. . . the most elevated status and superior rank which ended with his own personage of perfect attributes ( zaate kaamil-us sifaat ) such that it is not for anyone else to even gauge the nature of it, much less attain it.
