With-Love-to-Muhammad

108 With Love to Muhammad sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn
Muhammad sa and he cannot be called the “last man” in terms of
time.
The only option left is number 3. That is the most logical
understanding of this hadīth and each and every Ahmadī is
willing to accept that the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa is the last
man to be born of his status. No one can achieve his status after
him.
Hadīth Numbers 7 & 8 – Al-Muqaffā
انaرولaااللهaaااللهaہaوaمaaاaہaأاءaالa
أاaحدaوaأحدaوaاaوaاحارaوaبaاتوبۃaوaبaارحۃ
Allāh’s Messenger sa mentioned many names of his and said: I
am Muhammad, Ahmad, Al-Muqaffā, Al-Hāshir, the Prophet of
Repentance, and the Prophet of Mercy. 98
تaرولaااللهaaااللهaہaوaمaولaأاaحدaوaأحدaوa
اaوaاحارaوaاخاتمaوaااب
Farhan Khan’s Translation: I heard the Messenger of Allāh,
may Allāh bless him and give him peace, say, “I am
Muhammad (The praised one), Ahmad (The praiseworthy), Al-
Muqaffā (the last in succession), Al-Hāshir (the gatherer), Al-
Khātim (The Last), and Al-‘Āqib (The last).
Neither of the above ahādīth states that the Holy Prophet
Muhammad sa was the last prophet. The translation of the word
Muqaffā as “the last in succession” by Farhan Khan is just what
it is - only a translation! It is based upon the opinion of Farhan
