Mahzarnama 77 "Only Islam is the straight path, and now there is only one Prophet and only one Messenger under the sun, i. e. , Muhammad, the chosen one sa , who is elevated above and superior to all Prophets, and is the most complete and perfect of all the Messengers, and Khaatamul Anbiyaa’ , and the best of all the human beings: by following whom one finds God, and the curtains of darkness are lifted and the indications of true salvation become apparent in this very world. " [Braaheen-e-Ahmadiyya, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 1 p. 557, footnote to footnote] "Allah, the Exalted, made the Holy Prophet sa the Possessor of the Seal, viz. He gave him the Seal, for the dissemination of (his) excellence, which was certainly not given to any other Prophet. It was for this reason that he was named 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. " [Haqiqatul Wahi, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 22 p. 100] "Another aspect of the Holy Prophet's being Khaatamun Nabiyyeen sa is that God, due to His pure grace, has embodied the followers of the Holy Prophet with marvellous capabilities; so much so that it is stated in a Hadith that: 8 Although the compilers of Ahadith have called it into question but the light of my heart declares this Hadith to be authentic, and I accept it without demur. And none has negated this Hadith through the medium of vision either; if anything, it has only found confirmation. " [Al-Hakam, 17-24 August, 1904] "The institution of all kinds of Prophethood and Messengership found culmination in the person of our lord and master, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. " 8 The scholars among my followers will be akin to the Israelite Prophets.
