Statements of Hazrat Muhy-ud-d ī n Ibn ‘Arab ī rh 157 Ahmadiyya Muslim Stance : Farhan Khan’s understanding of Ibn ‘Arab ī rh : One form of nubuwwah continues after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa but it is lesser than his prophethood in status and contains no laws. One form of nubuwwah continues after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa but it is lesser than his prophethood in status and contains no laws. Despite the exactness of the premises of both arguments, Farhan Khan insists that the Ahmadiyya Muslim understanding is incorrect. How strange! Secondly, it must be remembered that the term wah ī ilh ā m that Farhan Khan uses several times is new to Isl ā m. It has not been used by the Holy Qur’ ā n, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa or his Companions ra. It seems to be a latter-day innovation to differentiate between wah ī and ilh ā m when in fact they both refer to the same thing. Farhan Khan says that it has been used by Hazrat Imam ‘Abd-ul-Wahh ā b rh but he fails to produce quotations as proper evidence to his claims. The dictionary, Al- Munjid , makes the following entry on the word wah ī : ) ٍ وحiا a Mح a ٰ وح ( ً َنُB a ٰ اF : اiFہ a َ ا;ار : 㷩. ارہ ㈲㷨ف اس a ٍ ر:ُوﻻ a ِ اiَFِہ a َ اَرْ:َل : 䰽ፁ ㈲ف 㷨 اس ) ا憤 ( ೮. a a ْ اَو a ِ اiFِْہ a وَحَ ٍاGَD a ْہiَFِا a وَحٰ : a ٖ ْرِہiَA a ْ @َن a ِ ْہiِ_ُْخM a بdَِا a ٗ ہdَّcَD 㲁 اس ⸞ 〙ᄯہ〙ᄯہ㫤م㷩،徉اس⸞ا悇܉تṎ㷨دو⨭ے五⸞ر很᱑㶢.
