A Misconception Removed — Page 18
18 Eik Ghala ti K a Iz a la Prophet would hit at the very core of Islam. And it would be extremely derogatory to the Holy Prophet sa to imagine that the monumental task of vanquishing the Dajj a l should be performed by Jesus as and not by him. It would also amount—God forbid—to falsify- ing the verse: 32 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 u z , who is 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 u z of Muhammad sa that has been ordained since eternity, I have, therefore, been granted Prophethood in the form of Bur u z , and the entire world is powerless to stand against it, for a Seal has been set upon Prophethood. A Bur u 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 fountain- head of Prophethood. To sum up, Prophethood or Messengership in the form of Bur u z does not break the Seal of the Finality 32 But he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. —Al- A h z a b, 33:41 [Publishers]
