Khatam e Nabowat, Finality of Prophethood
﷽
Finality of Prophethood or Khatam e Nabowat, what does it mean and what does it imply?
First of all, one needs to understand that why Allah sent Prophets and then later on decided to stop and for 1400 years now there has been no Prophet ever since. Humans go through evolution which can be referred to as psychological or even scientific as well, in the beginning there was a need to guide humans by the finger on who their creator is and all the Prophets were sent to their specific nations, when a time came that human intellect reached a certain level Allah sent his final testament Quran and guaranteed that it will remain protected and unaltered along with it sent his final Messenger Muhmmad ﷺ and his teachings, who was sent for the whole world.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ رہا یہ ذکر، تو اِس کو ہم نے نازل کیا ہے اور ہم خود اِس کے نگہبان ہیںBehold, it is We Ourselves who have bestowed from on high, step by step, this reminder? and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption].
[Surah Al Hijr 15:9]
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. -1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. -2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. -3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. -4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). -5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.
There was no further need of a Prophet the intellect of a human has reached at such a state that the duty bestowed upon Prophet, was then bestowed upon every single believer.
كَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۗ۔۔۔And thus have We willed you to be a community of the middle way, so that you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind, and that the Apostle might bear witness to it before you....[Surah Baqarah 2:143]
References against Qadyaani
Now some people who say directly and others indirectly that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not the final Prophet and this process of revelation is still on going.Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established till there is a war between two groups among whom there will be a great number of casualties, though the claims (or religion) of both of them will be one and the same. And the Hour will not be established till there appear about thirty liars, all of whom will be claiming to be the messengers of Allah. "
Thawban narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:"The Hour shall not be established until tribes of my Ummah unite with the idolaters, and until they worship idols. And indeed there shall be thirty imposters in my Ummah,each of them claiming that he is a Prophet. And I am the last of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me."
Let's see what Allah says in Quran and what Muhammad ﷺ said in his Ahadith.
مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَٰكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا (لوگو) محمدؐ تمہارے مَردوں میں سے کسی کے باپ نہیں ہیں، مگر وہ اللہ کے رسول اور خاتم النبیین ہیں، اور اللہ ہر چیز کا علم رکھنے والا ہے[And know, O believers, that] Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but is God’s Apostle and the Seal of all Prophets. And God has indeed full knowledge of everything.
[Surah Ahzab 33:40]
Narrated Isma`il:
I asked Abi `Aufa, "Did you see Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" He said, "Yes, but he died in his early childhood. Had there been a Prophet after Muhammad then his son would have lived, but there is no Prophet after him."
وَلَوْ قُضِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيٌّ عَاشَ ابْنُهُ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ.
Now the word Khaatam خَاتَم means Seal. Now we say that once a seal is added on a document nothing can be inserted into it. The followers of Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani Dajjal says that it is خَاتَم not خَاتِم and خَاتَم means that any Prophet after Muhammad ﷺ will come only by his seal/stamp (ummati Nabi). We ask what is the reference of this interpretation as Ahadith are also not supportive of it.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets."
وَأَنَا خَاتِمُ النَّبِيِّينَ...
Two points from this Hadith,
1) Only place of one brick was left and that was fulfilled by Muhammad ﷺ no other places were left which means no other Prophets are coming after him.
2) The word used in Arabic is خَاتِم that resolves the issue as well both خَاتَم, خَاتِم are Muhammad ﷺ.
If for example there was an idea of Ummati Nabi, why jump 1400 years, why was there not an Ummati Nabi from the Sahaba's?
Narrated Sa`d:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out for Tabuk. appointing `Ali as his deputy (in Medina). `Ali said, "Do you want to leave me with the children and women?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Will you not be pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to Moses? But there will be no prophet after me."
أَلاَ تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بَعْدِي
If Mawla Ali R.A A.S cannot be an Ummati Nabi although he is like Haroon was to Musa both were Prophets, then how come Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani Dajjal is a Nabi???
King James Bible
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Now lastly, if we look at previous scriptures there is always a mention of the upcoming Prophet in those scriptures, if Muhammadﷺ was not the last Prophet why is there no mention of the upcoming Prophet, rather the Quran says
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ
ااور وہ لوگ جو آپ کی طرف نازل کیا گیا اور جو آپ سے پہلے نازل کیا گیا (سب) پر ایمان لاتے ہیں، اور وہ آخرت پر بھی (کامل) یقین رکھتے ہیں
And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.
In Quran it is always mentioned revealed before you, it is never mentioned, which will be revealed after you.

Finality of Prophethood or Khatam e Nabowat, what does it mean and what does it imply?
So, anyone who claims that he is in contact with Allah either through Kashf, Ilham or Mansoos minal Allah (aqeeda e Imamat) is also a traitor to the cause of Khatam e Nabowat.
Those who claim that there are saints who after meditation reach a certain level that they can contact Allah or Allah contacts them is also against the Aqeeda of Finality of Prophethood because
Ibn 'Abbas reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drew aside the curtain (of his apartment) and (he saw) people in rows (saying prayer) behind Aba Bakr. And he said: Nothing remains of the glad tidings of apostlehood, except good dreams which a Muslim sees or someone is made to see for him. ....
... أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ..
[Muslim 1075/479]
Secondly, if there was such a thing Umar R.A would know right,
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Among the nations before you there used to be people who were inspired (though they were not prophets). And if there is any of such a persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar."
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Among the nation of Bani Israel who lived before you, there were men who used to be inspired with guidance though they were not prophets, and if there is any of such persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar."
فَإِنْ يَكُ فِي أُمَّتِي أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّهُ عُمَرُ
فَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَعُمَرُ
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab:
People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good. [Bukhari 2641]
Sahaba were clear that the doors of Revelation are now closed permanently no one will have the ability to talk to Allah or Allah will not inspire anything to anyone. Sharah Sadar on a matter is a completely different thing.
Anas reported that after the death of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Abu Bakr said to 'Umar:
Let us visit Umm Aiman as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to visit her. As we came to her, she wept. They (Abu Bakr and Umar) said to her: What makes you weep? What is in store (in the next world) for Allah's-Messenger (ﷺ) is better than (this worldly life). She said: I weep not because I am ignorant of the fact that what is in store for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (in the next world) is better than (this world), but I weep because the revelation which came from the Heaven has ceased to come. This moved both of them to tears and they began to weep along with her.
أَنَّ الْوَحْىَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
Now after this if someone who came in 500 Hijri claims that Allah has promised me that he will allow me to take 70 of my followers to Jannah and their 70 followers and so on. How did this guy made such a claim, did Allah contact him? is he claiming that Allah contacted him? Allah only contacts Prophet directly. What is this saint claiming? or his followers affiliates it towards him. These are the stories affiliated with Abdul Qadir Jilani.
Secondly, there is a "saint" known as Ba Yazeed Bustami in the books affiliated toward him, the levels of blunders mentioned in it is way beyond that of Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani Dajjal. The Muslim's who claims that Ba Yazeed was a saint, they defend those claims.
All this text is in Urdu, in the book Tazkira tul Auliaa,
Person asks him: what is Arsh?
Ba Yazeed says: "I am Arsh"
Person asks: What is Kursi (The seat of Allah)
Ba Yazeed says: "I am Kursi"
Person says: There have been various Prophets like Ibrahim Musa and Muhammad ﷺ, no one has claimed such things
Ba Yazeed says: "I am them all"
Person asked: What about Angels?
He said: I am Angle
In the end he said I am Haq (meaning Allah) Naozobillah. I think he was drunk or very high on something.
Ba Yazeed claims that he has done Miraaj 😶, He claims he has seen Allah as well. 🥴🤦
One may say he is such a retarded person why am I quoting him, Junaid e Bagdadi another saint of theirs say that Ba Yazeed has the rank in Waali ul Allah that Jibrail has among Angels Naozobillah.
Let's move on to those saints who in their books have endorsed the Kalma Shadat of their own name.
Let me tell you one thing the flag bearer of this Sect, which is Alaa Hazrat Ahmad Raza Khan Brailvi said in his book Husam ul Harmain, that if anyone says that "Ana Rasol Allah" (Naozobillah) even if he means that I am the postman or message deliverer and not the Prophet in real Islamic sense even then he will become Kafir. It's his Fatwa.
There is one other saint known as Moin ud din Chisti. There are two books one is Fawaid us Salikeen and the other is Saba Sanabil, both contains this Kalma in the name of Chisti, it is
La illa ha Illa Allah, Chisti Rasool Allah (Naozobillah)
The story in the book goes like this that a follower of Chisti Saab came to him to do Bait, Chisti took a test of him and asked him how do you recite the Kalama, He repeated the original Kalma, Chisti said then say like this La illa ha Illa Allah, Chisti Rasool Allah, that duffer follower repeated after him then Chisti saab said that the Kalma is the original one I was just testing you 🤦. Did Sahaba tested the iman of Tabieen like this?? by calling themselves Rasool.
The funny or disturbing fact is that the book Saba Sanabil also contains this Kalma and the Alaa Hazrat who gave the above fatwa, said that this book Saba Sanabil was presented to Muhammad ﷺ and he praised this book. Naozobillah. Was Alaa Hazrat lying on Prophet? Had he not read the book?
You may say that the book might have been altered, okay then why are their followers defending these acts? why are they still printing these books? is it all for money???
These people belong to the sect of Brailvi and they are at forefront in performing extra judicial activities in the name of blasphemy but when the blasphemy is done by their own saint, they try to defend it (there are video recordings of it on youtube). The most reasonable answer for these blasphemy should be that we disown these saints and we don't follow them we turn to Quran and Sunnah from now on but unfortunately that's not the case.
This is the original copy of the book Saba Sanabil,
Secondly, the great saint of Deoband Sect Ashraf Ali Thanvi, he also defended the Kalma of Chisti in his book Sunnah tul Jaliyaa fi Chistia til Alia
La illa ha illal Allah, Ashraf Ali Rasool Allah (Naozobillah)
The story goes like this, a follower of Ashraf Ali Thanvi wrote a letter to him, the follower said that one night in a dream I was reciting the correct Kalma, I tried saying Muhammad ﷺ ur Rasool Allah but instead your name came out. I woke up and tried reciting the correct Kalma but was unable to do so and tried reciting the Durood as well but all in all your name came out of my mouth at the places of Muhammad ﷺ.
There are many other blasphemies as well, my point here is why single out Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani Dajjal?? whosoever talks about Finality of Prophethood always talks about Qadyani's but not these thiefs who are still enjoying the sainthood ship and are still being called Muslims.
If the books have been altered, then stop printing these, stop earning money from it. If these are altered, why do you still defend it there are video recordings on youtube of so-called scholars of these sects defending such blasphemies.
Disown them and turn towards Quran and Sunnah don't follow these Saints.
There is only one man brave enough who have exposed all these blasphemies, his name is Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza.
