24 what this verse means is that no Prophet can ever come after him who 1) cancels the Holy Prophet’s Shariah or 2) is not from the Holy Prophet’s Ummah. ( Al-Mau du ‘ a t al-Kubr a , Mull a ‘Al i al-Q a r i , p. 192, Ma t bū‘ah Qad i m i Kutub Kh a nah, Ār a m B a gh, Karachi) Can Maulaw i Sahib now tell us whether or not Hadrat Mull a ‘Al i al-Q a r i rta believed that a subordinate Prophet could come into this world? It is false and misleading to allege that a person making a claim to prophethood after the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as is a k a fir [infidel]. Such allegations have nothing to do with Islam. Maulaw i Sahib, please tell us: 1) Has or has not the Holy Prophet s as proph- esied the second coming of the Messiah? 2) Will the Messiah, whose advent you are awaiting, be a Prophet or not? 3) When the Messiah comes and calls himself a Prophet, will you respond by calling him a k a fir? Maulaw i Sahib, please do come to your senses. Use your intel- ligence and be mindful of seeking Allah’s forgiveness, for one day you will have to present yourself in His court. You have twisted your own beliefs just to oppose Ahmadiyyat. Take note of what Hadrat Mu h yudd i n Ibn ‘Arab i (died 638 AH, 1240 CE) said about the Messiah of our Ummah: ْع ٍ وَہُو َ نَبِی ٌّ بِل َ شَكٍّ. ي ِ ْر ِ تَشْر ي ْنَا حَكَمًا مِّن ْ غَ ي َنْزِل ُ فِ ي ُ ْہ ِ السَّلَم ي عِیْسٰی عَلَ Jesus as will be raised among us as arbitor, but he will not bear a new law, yet without doubt, he will be a Prophet. ( Al-Fut uha tul-Makkiyyah, Mu h yudd i n Ibn ‘Arab i , vol.
