True Insights into the Concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat — Page 99
A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 99 ] We were in the company of the Holy Prophet sa when a stranger joined us. He was clad in white, had jet black hair, and had a fresh appearance. None of us had seen him before. He came and reverently seated himself before the Holy Prophet sa with his knees touching the knees of the Holy Prophet sa. He asked: ‘What is I m a n , O Mu h ammad?’ The Holy Prophet sa replied: I m a n means that you should believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, on the Day of Resurrection and on Taqd i r [divine determination of good and evil]. ( Tirmidh i Kit a bul- I m a n ) This h ad i th is very significant in that the narrator reports that after hearing the Holy Prophet sa the stranger con- firmed the statement of the Holy Prophet sa by saying ‘you said it right’ and left. The companions wondered if he had come to learn or test the knowledge of the Holy Prophet sa. Realizing their astonishment, the Holy Prophet sa said: He was none other than Gabriel and had come to teach you your religion. You will note that no mention of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat is made in this h ad i th as being part of I m a n. The Ahmadiyya " : : ".
