By Dr. Abdul Hai Madani
Finality of Prophethood for holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the faith of every Muslim. And who he doesnot believe that cannot be considered a Muslim. In this report I tried to highlight the fact that Qadianis are non-Muslims and they must be treated as non-Muslims. I haven't mentioned the role of Ullma & Scholars but I focused the issue which is ignored by today's Muslim that Qadiani are still among us & they are continuously spreading their vicious misconception of their false faith in Islam.
After the partition of Indo-Pak the Muslim of the newly born Muslim State of Pakistan faced a challenging problem not only affecting their believe & faith but also faced the worst strike of Qadian's against Pakistan in every aspect. They played a vital role in order to sabotage every elected govt. of Pakistan & tried to destabilize the state. Simultaneously due to their fetal faith of the prophecy of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani created agitation in people of Pakistan. I make an effort in order to collect the historical facts due to which any leader can justify the difference between the Muslims & Qadiani and also the sacrifices of our great Islamic Scholars and politicians who took part in this great movement.
MAY ALLAH BLESS BE UPON THEM.
WHAT IS FINALITY OF PROPHETHOOD? OR
AQEEDA-E-KHATAM-E-NABUWAT
(In The Light Of The Quran & The Sunnah) The Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet's Ahadith (teachings) eloquently prove that prophethood ('Nabuwwat' and 'Risalat') came to an end with our Prophet Muhammad. There are decisive verses to that effect. Being the last Prophet in the chain of prophethood, no one ever shall now succeed him to that status of dignity.
"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)". (The Holy Quran, Al-e-Imran 3:85)
Interpreters of the Holy Quran:
All the interpreters of the Holy Quran agree on the meaning of 'Khatam-un-Nabieen' that our Prophet was the last of all prophets and none shall be exalted to the lofty position of prophethood after him. Here are a few examples: Imam Hafiz Ibn-e-Katheer (Allah's mercy on him):
"This verse is conclusive of the precept that our Prophet is the last and that there shall be no 'Nabi' (Prophet) after him. When there shall be no 'Nabi' to follow him, the ordainment of a 'Rasool' (Messenger) can not arise by logic of anteriority because the status of a 'Rasool' is more exclusive then that of a 'Nabi'. Every 'Nabi' is not a 'Rasool', but every 'Rasool' is a 'Nabi'. There exists a continuous and unbroken chain of recitations of Ahadith from a large number of venerable "Sahabah" or Companions of the Prophet , that there shall be no 'Nabi' or 'Rasool' after Muhammad.(Tafseer Ibn-e-Khateer, Vol. 3, P. 453)
Finality of Prophethood and Ahadith: "The Prophet unequivocally declared that he was the final Prophet. There are a large number of Ahadith to sustain this article of Islamic faith. Not only that but the Prophet was also pleased to bring forth such expositions of this word ('Khatam-un-Nabieen') that all doubts relating to his finality in prophethood stand void and misinterpretations exposed. Many people having theological distinctions to their credit have stressed upon the unbroken and consecutive nature of those Ahadith which concern finality of prophethood.
AHADITHS: The Last Brick "From Abu Huraira : Allah's Messenger said: "Certainly my example and the example of prophets earlier than me is like the example of a palace most elegant and most beautiful constructed by a person except (that he left in it) a blank space for a brick in one of its corners and that made the people (who were) going around it wonder (at its marvellousness) and exclaimed (in perplexion): "Why not is this brick inlaid in here!" The Prophet said, "I am that (corner's last) brick and I am the last of the prophets". Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, p.501 & Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, p.248
The above Hadith is also related by Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah, and is included in Musnad Ahmad, Sahih Muslim and Jama-e-Tirmizi. Sahih Muslim's narration ends with these words: "Said Allah's Messenger "So I am in place of this brick; I came and so I completed the chain of the prophets".
Line of Prophet hood Terminated "From Abu Huraira, : Allah's Messenger Muhammad said: "I have been bestowed with excellence over (other) Prophets in six respects:
(1) I have been gifted with comprehensive words.
(2) I have been helped through awe (being put in the hearts of enemies)
(3) Spoils have been made lawful to me.
(4) the whole earth turned into a mosque for me and a means of purification.
(5) I have been ordained as the Prophet for all humanity.
(6) The line of the Prophets has been terminated with me". (Sahih Muslim, Vol.1, p.199, Mishkat, p.512)
One Hadith containing similar subject matter is narrated in Sahihain from Hazart Jabir, that the Prophet said: "I have been gifted with five qualities not bestowed upon anybody before me". At the end of this Hadith are the following words: "Former prophets were sent to their people alone, whereas I have been sent as the Prophet to all mankind". (Mishkat, p.513)
Address to Hazrat Ali "From Saad bin Abi Waqqas, : said Allah's Messenger Muhammad to Hazrat Ali, "You have the same relation with me as Haron had with Moses except that there shall be no prophet after me".(Sahih Bukhari Vol.2, p.633)
Difference With Tribe of Israel
"Abu Huraira relates from the Prophet that the Bani Isreal were led by their own prophets, when one prophet died another prophet took his place but there shall be no prophet after me that there shall be Caliphs and they will be many".(Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Manaqib)
In the case of our Prophet even such prophets will not come, except that there shall be religious revivalists of the Ummat. "Verily, Allah the Exalted will send down to this Ummat such men at the head of every century as will revive the Deen for it" (the Ummat). Abu Dawood, Vol. 2, p. 233
Thirty Liars in the Ummah
"It is related by Hazrat Thauban, that our Prophet said "In my Ummat there shall be born thirty liars, each of them will pretend that he is a prophet but I am the last of the prophets, there shall be no prophet after me". (Abu Dawood and Tirmizi)
No Nabi No Rasool After Me
"From Anas bin Malik, Allah's Messenger Muhammad said: "Verily", "Risalat" and "nubuwwat" are terminated, so there shall be neither a "rasool" nor a "nabi" after me'.(Tirmidhi, Kitab-ur-Rouya Babu Zahab-un- Nubuwwa, Musnad Ahmad, Marwiyat-Anas bin Malik)
Last Prophet & Last Ummah
"From Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet saying "We are the last (Ummat) but will precede all on the Day of Resurrection except that the 'Book' was given to them before us". (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
"From Hazrat Aisha the Prophet said I am the last Prophet and my mosque is the last mosque among the mosques of all the prophets". (Kanzul Ummal, Vol.12, p.270, Hadith No.34999)
"Hazrat Ali, describing virtues of the Prophet says: "Between his shoulders was the signet of prophethood and he was Khatamun-Nabieen". (Shamail-e-Tirmizi, p.3)
Therefore no person after Muhammad can be called a prophet in any meaning or sense and nobody can fix for himself a prophetic stance by his guile or guise. Consequently, he who does so or tries to do so or if anybody believes in the prophethood of that claimant, then such a person is a cast off from the fold of Islam. And this 'finality' of the holy Prophet is a status which is most dignified, an honour most distinguished and an esteem most high. It is therefore a grave insult to the holy Prophet, if somebody is so insolent as to lay a claim to the line of prophethood. Moreover, even if one stretches ones human imagination to the furthest end and presumes there is some prophet who has come in the world, he should seek for a proof to substantiate his hypothesis, i.e. whether or not this new-comer-of-the prophet has been indoctrinated with some fresh disciplines. If it is said that no new learning's were given to the new prophet; rather the same learning's were again revealed to him as had already been revealed to the holy Prophet Muhammad that would be an inexplicable repetition. With the existing Prophetic learning's and the indiminishing Quranic reservoir of knowledge, such repetition by the "new prophet" should turn into a divine exercise in futility, whereas Allah the exalted is absolutely above anything futile. And if the plea is that this later claimant to prophethood was specifically bestowed with such learning's as were not conferred upon the holy Prophet then this is (Allah forbid) tantamount to (1) belittling doctrinal learning's sent by Allah through Muhammad, (2) insinuating that the Quran lacks completeness and (3) hinting at the imperfection of the Islamic faith, thereby disbelieving in the Quranic verse (Holy Quran, 5:3)
"This day I have perfected your Religion". Such thoughts and actions heap worst indignity upon the holy Prophet. the Quran and the religion of Islam. Moreover, if just for the sake of argument, it is supposed that there is a prophet after our holy Prophet, then as a natural corollary it will become incumbent upon all to express allegiance to him and believe in whatever he says or does; and conversely disbelief in him will be deemed infidelity and Kufr! Otherwise, what else could prophethood signify? Such supposition in effect amounts to insulting the holy Prophet and finding fault with him to the extent that one who believes in him and his entire religion is deemed an unbeliever (Kaffir) deserving hell for ever. It would mean that even belief in the holy Prophet Muhammad would (Allah forbid) not be adequate to protect him from disbelief (Kufr) and the Hell.
