True Insights into the Concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat — Page 88
[ 88 ] Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: Alas for My servants! … ( S u rah Y a S i n , 36:31) To reject and mock a Messenger is an old custom. Bearing witness to this, will you reject the truth of each and every Prophet simply because he was faced with hostility and antagonism? How would you justify your inference based on the above verse of the Holy Qur’an? I also quoted verses from the Holy Qur’an earlier indicating opposition of all Prophets following Moses as. It is true that some impostors also faced opposition but they were negligible. Most impostors were not opposed; they died their own miserable death. The arguments you have used to prove that the Promised Messiah as was an impostor, in fact, are a telling proof of his truthfulness. Liar, on Him Will be the Sin of His Lie I now draw your attention to the directive in the Holy Qur’an about the attitude we should adopt towards a per- son who claims to be from God and therefore a Prophet. Citing an incident from the time of Hadrat M u s a as , the Holy Qur’an tells us that when Hadrat M u s a as made his claim to prophethood, the government of his time and the people opposed him and planned to put an end to his life.
