Mahzarnama 109 The Seal of the Prophets In Arabic language, the word Khaatam is used for Seal. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at believes the Holy Prophet sa to be also the Seal of the Prophets. In this context, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at wrote in his book Haqiqatul Wahi : "Allah, the Exalted, made the Holy Prophet sa to be the Possessor of Seal, viz. He gave him the Seal, for the dissemination of (his) perfection, which was certainly not given to any other Prophet. It was for this reason that his name was determined to be Khaatamun Nabiyyeen , viz. following him imbues one with the excellences of Prophethood, and his spiritual attention is Prophet-carving. And this particular faculty of holiness was not granted to any other Prophet. This is meaning of the Hadith : The (righteous) scholars of my ummah are like the Israelite Prophets. Although numerous Prophets came to the Children of Israel, but their Prophethood was not the outcome of their obedience to Prophet Moses, on whom be peace. Rather such Prophethoods were endowments directly granted to the recipients from God. Following Prophet Moses, on whom be peace, did not have anything at all to do with those. " [ Haqeeqatul Wahi, footnote, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 22, p. 100 ] Furthermore, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at also made a forceful announcement to the effect that blessings emanating from this Seal of Muhammad sa , can be received only by coming under complete subservience to the Holy Prophet sa. In this context, he wrote in his book Haqiqatul Wahi ( Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 22, pp. 118-119 ): "I always wonder how high was the status of this Arab Prophet, whose name was Muhamamd, thousands of blessings and peace
