Statements of Hazrat Muhy-ud-dīn Ibn ‘Arabī rh 165<br />

his law. And this is the meaning of his statement,<br />

“Verily, apostleship and prophethood have ceased.<br />

Hence, there will be no messenger after me and no<br />

prophet”. That means, “There can be no prophet after<br />

me upon a law in opposition <strong>to</strong> my law. Instead,<br />

whenever there will be (a prophet), he shall be<br />

subject <strong>to</strong> my law. And, “there can be no Rasūl (after<br />

me)” means “no Rasūl can come after me for anyone<br />

in the creation of Allāh with a (new) law <strong>to</strong>wards<br />

which he calls others”. Hence, this is what has been<br />

terminated and its door has been shut; not the maqām<br />

an-Nubuwwah (the status of nubuwwah). Therefore,<br />

this is not against the fact that ‘Īsā as shall be a Nabī<br />

and Rasūl. And surely, it is not against the fact that<br />

he shall descend in the latter days as a just and fair<br />

judge, (who shall judge) with our law; not any other<br />

(new) law, nor with a law according <strong>to</strong> which the<br />

Israelites worship Allāh from where it descended.<br />

Instead, what is manifested from it is (only) what has<br />

been decided (or established) by the law of Hazrat<br />

<strong>Muhammad</strong> (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon<br />

him). And the prophethood of Hazrat ‘Īsā as is firmly<br />

established and proven… 163<br />

The following points can be clearly unders<strong>to</strong>od from the above<br />

quotation:<br />

1. Hazrat ‘Īsā as , who shall descend in the latter days in this<br />

ummah, shall be a Nabī and Rasūl<br />
