Death of Hazrat ‘Īsā as bin Mariam ra 199<br />

Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad as attained his status of prophethood by<br />

being a follower of the Holy Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa and came<br />

with his seal of approval. In simple terms, the Holy Prophet sa is<br />

a teacher of Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad as but not a teacher of<br />

Hazrat ‘Īsā as . In fact, the Holy Qur’an restricts the prophethood<br />

of Hazrat ‘Īsā as <strong>to</strong> the Israelites in the following words:<br />

وَرَ‏ سُ‏ وْ‏ لاً‏ اِلىٰ‏ بَنىِ‏ ْۤ اِسرْ‏ ٰٓ ءِيْلَۙ‏<br />

What will become of this statement of the Holy Qur’ān if Hazrat<br />

‘Īsā as returns as a prophet for the whole of mankind?<br />

aa aاالله a aبۃ aاب aبن aارۃ aد aرجل ال<br />

حد aخاتم aالاباء aلا بa aبدہ aال aارۃ:‏<br />

Ibn Abī Shaybah reported that As-Shabī ra said,“A<br />

man in the company of Al-Mughīrah bin Abī<br />

Shu‘bah ra said, ‘May Allāh bless <strong>Muhammad</strong>, the Seal<br />

of the Prophets, there is no prophet after him.’ Al-<br />

Mughīrah said, ‘It was enough for you when you<br />

said, ‘The Seal of the Prophets,’ for we used <strong>to</strong> discuss<br />
