Statements of Hazrat Muhy-ud-dīn Ibn ‘Arabī rh 163<br />

In essence, the quotations presented by Farhan Khan only state<br />

that the Awliyā’ Allāh cannot attain the status of nubuwwah and<br />

by presenting them, he has committed the fallacy of false<br />

attribution. He has gone <strong>to</strong> a portion of the writings of Hazrat<br />

Ibn ‘Arabī rh that has little <strong>to</strong> do with the main issue of dispute<br />

and the only reason that compelled him <strong>to</strong> do so is his strong<br />

bias against Islām Ahmadiyya. The issue at hand is not whether<br />

the Awliyā’ Allāh are prophets or not. The issue is whether the<br />

Promised Messiah as of Islām, whose appearance was predicted<br />

by the Holy Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa , would be a prophet or not.<br />

If Farhan Khan had presented a quotation of Hazrat Ibn ‘Arabi rh<br />

where he had written that the coming Messiah would not be a<br />

prophet of Allāh because nubuwwah has ended with the Holy<br />

Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa , it would have been relevant <strong>to</strong> this<br />

discussion. Below is an extract from Futūhātul Makkiyyah which<br />

discusses the nubuwwah of the Promised Messiah as and is<br />

relevant <strong>to</strong> the discussion in hand:<br />
