? 17 list of prophets, which was in God Almighty’s scheme. The list of prophets has been completed with his advent. ( Qadianio n aur D u srei K a firo n kei Darmiy a n Farq, by Maulav i Muhammad Y u suf Ludhi a na vi , p. 10) Maulav i Ludhi a na vi is not ashamed of attributing his immature and convoluted thinking to God Almighty. He thinks that the conferment of prophethood on anyone after Holy Prophet Muhammad saw is contrary to the honour and glory of the Holy Prophet saw. However, if any previous prophet were to re-appear and to exercise his prophethood, it would have no effect on the honour and status of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. This concept of Maulav i Ludhi a na vi shows complete ignorance and should be rejected. If the definition of the last prophet is only in the sense that the rank of prophethood will not be awarded to anybody after the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw , in spite of the fact that the need for a prophet admittedly exists, it does not confer any honour upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. It would amount to saying that Holy Prophet Muhammad saw was supposedly the last person to attain the rank of prophethood. However, since the necessity of prophethood still exists, in order to retain this so-called ‘last prophet’ status of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw , God Almighty bestowed a long life to a previous prophet so that the necessity of commissioning a new prophet may not arise. According to their theory, in such a situation, all new requisites will be met through the previous prophet.
