True Insights into the Concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat — Page 27
A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 27 ] Nabiyy i n in the Qur’an, but on the other hand we open the door to the advent of an ummat i Prophet. They claim that we say Kh a tamiyyat means ‘the last’ with reference to Shar i ‘ah [Islamic law], but not with reference to the non- law bearing prophethood. The Promised Messiah as writes in this respect: The Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was granted a unique honour of being Kh a tamun-Nabiyy i n because, firstly, all spiritual qualities of prophethood have reached their pinnacle in him. Secondly, there cannot be a law-bearing Prophet after him or one who is not in his ummah. Everyone who receives the honour of divine revela- tion does so only through the Holy Prophet sa and his blessings. Such a one is designated as an ummati Prophet and not an independent Prophet. ( Tatimmah Chashma-e-Ma‘rifat , R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 23, p. 380) Further, the Promised Messiah as writes: All prophethood has come to an end except the prophethood of Muhammad sa. No law-bearing Prophet can come after him. A Prophet who does not bring a new law can come, but he has to be a follower of the Holy Prophet sa first. ( Tajalliyy a t-e-Il a hiyyah , R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 20, p. 412)
