The rafa‘a (ascent) of ‘Īsā as refers to the separation of
his soul from the lower world and its connection with
the superior world.... And since it is important for his
soul to return to its real place of rest, and it has not
reached its actual perfection, its descent in the last
days shall definitely be in a different body. 165
In this quotation, Hazrat Ibn ‘Arabī rh says that the descent of
‘Īsā as would be in a different body and he would not descend
with his old body. Hence, he would have to be born as a
prophet and this destroys Farhan Khan’s argument that no
prophet can be born after the Holy Prophet sa . This also shows
that Hazrat Ibn ‘Arabī rh believed in the death of Hazrat ‘Īsā as
and that the Promised Messiah as would be someone else with
qualities similar to those of Hazrat ‘Īsā as .
Moreover, as pointed out earlier, Farhan Khan attributes
certain sayings to Hazrat Imām ‘Abd-ul-Wahhāb Shi‘rānī rh in his
chapter without giving any reference. Perhaps he was afraid
that the actual quotation might further add to his list of
intellectual dishonesties, or better yet, his reference may
actually agree with the Ahmadiyya Muslim point-of-view.
On that note, it is worth mentioning what Hazrat Imām
‘Abd-ul-Wahhāb rh wrote in relation to the topic at hand: “The
statement of the Holy Prophet sa ‘there is no prophet after me
