With Love to Muhammad (sa) - The Khatam-un-Nabiyyin — Page 62
62 With Love to Muhammad sa the Kh ā tam-un-Nabiyy ī n The need for another Prophet after the advent of the last is an intrinsically contradictory belief. Faced with this dilemma the ‘Ulem ā ’ always twist the issue by arguing that the need for the advent of a Prophet may occur after the final Prophet had come and gone. Yet, the absoluteness of his finality would remain intact as long as the new need is fulfilled by an old Prophet. But anyone should be able to see through this transparent effort at cheating. The difference of old or new is just a childish attempt to confuse the issue. If Jesus as of Nazareth reappears and submits to the supremacy of Prophet Muhammad sa , he would still be a Prophet after him. To fulfil the new need by borrowing an old Prophet from a bygone people is far worse than fulfilling the same need by raising a new Prophet from within the people of Isl ā m. If the former does not violate the Doctrine of Finality the latter most certainly cannot. 45 Based on this quotation, it is already clear that Farhan Khan made inappropriate and dishonest conclusions about the Ahmadiyya Muslim position. His second quotation is from the article entitled The concept of Revelation in Isl ā m and this is also quoted below: Do We Need a Further Law After the Holy Qur’ ā n The tenth question relating to the subject of revelation is: Is it necessary to have a new law revealed even after the Holy Qur’ ā n? 45 Hazrat Mirz ā Tahir Ahmad rh , Revelation Rationality Knowledge and Truth (Islamabad: Islam International Publications Ltd. , 1998), Pages 670-673
