Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 23 Khanrh. They all write that it simply means that there will be no law-bearing Prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as. It is now quite clear that Maulaw i Sahib’s twisted belief, which he calls the consensus of the whole Ummah, is not the belief of the learned scholars and saints.
