ایک غلطی کا ازالہ A Misconception removed (Eik Ghalaţi kā Izāla) A Misconception removed is an English translation of Eik Ghalați Kā Izāla written by the Promised Mes- siahas in 1901. The book addresses the issue of the true nature of the Promised Messiah'sas status as a Prophet and Messenger of God and explains at length how his Prophethood does not in anyway contravene the concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat. The verse of Khataman Nabiyyīn contains a prophecy that none except a Zill of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa can come after him. The Zill is never independent of the original. It is written in the book of Hadith that the Promised Messiah will be like the Holy Prophetsa. The belief that Jesus Christ himself will come to this world will change the connotation of Khataman Nabiyyīn. Denial of a Nabi (Prophet) is tantamount to believ- ing that this umma has been deprived of Divine address and converse. Only, door for a law bearing Prophet has been closed after the Holy Prophetsa. The Promised Messiahas says: 'Whenever I have denied being a Prophet or Mes- senger, it has only been in the sense that I have not brought an independent law nor am I an independent Prophet. ' The coming of a Prophet and Messenger in the form of Burūz (spiritual manifestation of a Prophet) is substantiated by the Holy Quran.
