82 <strong>With</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn<br />

connotation of Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn, but the descent of<br />

Jesus as from heaven would certainly change it. 73<br />

Based on personal communication with Farhan Khan, we know<br />

that he has read the book quoted above several times. Although<br />

impossible, it would have been more appropriate for him <strong>to</strong> at<br />

least try <strong>to</strong> refute the argument and logic given in the above<br />

quotation instead of picking arguments derived from the insight<br />

of individual Ahmadīs and refuting those. His example is like a<br />

pigeon who closes his eyes in hopes that the cat disappears,<br />

when in reality the cat is right in front of him and is about <strong>to</strong><br />

make a meal out of him! Closing his eyes <strong>to</strong> the flawless logic of<br />

the Ahmadiyya Muslim beliefs does not mean that it will go<br />

away!!<br />

Distinction between Law-Bearing and Non-Law-Bearing<br />

Prophets<br />

Under the section entitled No Firm Basis for the Distinction<br />

Between Law-Bearing vs. Non-Law-Bearing Prophet, Farhan Khan<br />

tries <strong>to</strong> refute the Ahmadiyya Muslim belief in a distinction<br />

between law-bearing and non-law-bearing prophets by<br />

presenting the following argument:<br />

The crux of the refutation of this argument lays in an<br />

important distinction between the methods Allāh<br />

employs <strong>to</strong> communicate with his prophets. What is<br />

known from the Qur’ān is that Allāh sent inspiration<br />

(wahi) <strong>to</strong> all of the Prophets, but did not necessarily<br />

speak (kalama) <strong>to</strong> them all.<br />
