Statements of Prophet Muhammad sa 101
long as Allāh wills... Then there will be Khilāfah upon
the footsteps of prophethood. 88
This hadīth clearly shows that Khilāfah was to continue for only a
limited period of time immediately after the Holy Prophet
Muhammad sa and it was eventually going to be replaced by
kingdom. This is exactly how it happened.
Hence, when the Holy Prophet sa said that there will be no
prophets after him, it was in the sense that there will be no
prophets immediately after him. Furthermore, the above hadīth
also proves the continuity of prophethood. The Holy Prophet sa
declares that eventually a time will come when Khilāfah will be
re-established but it will be upon the footsteps of prophethood. In
other words, Khilāfah cannot be re-established without
prophethood preceding it. As a result, this prophecy was
fulfilled when Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad as was appointed
by Allāh as the Promised Messiah as and a prophet, and after
him, a system of Khilāfah was established.
