A Misconception Removed — Page 26
(Eik Ghala t i k a Iz a la) is an English translation of Eik Ghala t i K a Iz a la written by the Promised Mes- siah as in 1901. The book addresses the issue of the true nature of the Promised Messiah’s as status as a Prophet and Messenger of God and explains at length how his Prophethood does not in anyway contravene the concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat. The verse of Kh a taman Nabiyy i n contains a prophecy that none except a Z ill of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa can come after him. The Z ill is never independent of the original. It is written in the book of Hadith that the Promised Messiah will be like the Holy Prophet sa. The belief that Jesus Christ himself will come to this world will change the connotation of Kh a taman Nabiyy i n. Denial of a Nab i (Prophet) is tantamount to believ- ing that this umma has been deprived of Divine address and converse. Only, door for a law bearing Prophet has been closed after the Holy Prophet sa. The Promised Messiah as says: 'Whenever I have denied being a Prophet or Mes- senger, it has only been in the sense that I have not brought an independent law nor am I an independent Prophet. ' The coming of a Prophet and Messenger in the form of Bur u z (spiritual manifestation of a Prophet) is substantiated by the Holy Quran.
