With Love to Muhammad (sa) - The Khatam-un-Nabiyyin — Page 60
60 With Love to Muhammad sa the Kh ā tam-un-Nabiyy ī n the creation of God. That is the right religion. But most men know not. 43 Indeed the nature created by God cannot be altered. Even the atheist must concede that human nature has remained universally unaltered since time immemorial. But a Book of Law corresponding to this unalterable nature can itself be changed all the same by the interference of humans. The Qur’ ā n takes care of this danger by declaring it is a well-protected book. َ ﻟَﺤٰـﻔِﻈُﻮْن َٗ هل َّ وَاِان َ اذلِّﻛْﺮ ﻧَﺰَّﻟْﻨَﺎ ُ حنَْﻦ َّ اِان Verily, it is We Who have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We are its Guardian. 44 History has proved this claim to be right. Hence the Prophet sa who was bestowed this Book has to be accepted as the last law-bearer. Nothing in this claim is irrational, but when it is suggested that even non- law-bearing prophets cannot come, the jurisdiction of finality is overextended without any rational justification. No sooner have they made this claim of absolute finality than they venture to demolish it themselves. The cracks begin to appear the moment they hasten to exempt Jesus as from this all-pervasive law of finality. 43 S ū rah Ar-R ū m 30:31 44 S ū rah Al-Hijr 15:10
