and no messenger’ means, ‘there can be no one with a (new) law<br />

after me.’” 166<br />

Therefore, it can be concluded that both Hazrat Ibn<br />

‘Arabī rh and Hazrat Imām Shi‘rānī rh did not believe in the<br />

absolute end of prophets based on the statement “there is no<br />

prophet after me” and it can also be concluded, without doubt,<br />

that the Messiah for the Latter Days would be a prophet of<br />

Allāh!<br />

The Status of the Promised Messiah as<br />

At the end of his chapter, Farhan Khan criticizes the<br />

writings of the Promised Messiah as by saying, “If by zill and<br />

buruz, [Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām] Ahmad [ as ] was referring <strong>to</strong> the<br />

type of nabī detailed by Ibn ‘Arabī rh , then the only difference<br />

between Ibn ‘Arabī[ rh ] and what Ahmad[ as ] wrote is semantic....<br />

If this is the case, then this is not a special status nor one special<br />

glory or honor beyond the other awliya.’” 167<br />

This is yet another ridiculous argument! As we asked<br />

status of the nubuwwah of the Promised Messiah as of the Latter<br />

Days? Will he be a prophet with a special status and special<br />

glory beyond the other Awliyā’ or not? If he says “no,” then this<br />

is against the following statements of the Holy Prophet<br />
