228 <strong>With</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn<br />

11. As the quotations show, Hazrat Shah Waliullāh,<br />

Muhaddas of Delhi rh , Reformer of the 12 th century of<br />

Islām, writes in At-Tafhīmāt Ilāhiyyah:<br />

The sealing of prophethood with him [the Holy Prophet sa ]<br />

means that there can be no (prophet) after him who is<br />

commissioned with a new law by Allāh, the Glorious.<br />

It is clear that Hazrat Shāh Waliullāh Muhaddas<br />

Dehlawī rh has interpreted the phrase Khātam-an-<br />

Nabiyyīn in exactly the same way as the Ahmadiyya<br />

Muslim Jamā‘at, that is, the Holy Prophet sa is the last<br />

law-bearing prophet.<br />

12. Hazrat Imām Ja‘far as-Sādiq rh , one of the greatest<br />

scholars of the 1 st century of Islām and the sixth Imām of<br />

the Shiites, is quoted in the book As-Sāfī Sharah Usūl Al-<br />

Kāfī, Part 3, Page 119, as follows:<br />

Hazrat Abū Ja‘far, while discussing the Qur’ānic verse:<br />

224<br />

فَقَدْ‏ اٰتَيْنَاۤ‏ اٰلَ‏ اِبْرٰهِيمْ‏ َ الْكِتٰبَ‏ وَالْحِكمْ‏ ‏َةَ‏ وَاٰتَيْنهٰ‏ ‏ُمْ‏ مُّلْكاً‏ عَظِ‏ يْمًا<br />

said that God vouchsafed <strong>to</strong> the children of Abraham,<br />

messengers, prophets and Imāms. But what is ironic is that<br />

people believe in what God blessed the children of Abraham<br />

with and yet they deny this blessing for the progeny of<br />

<strong>Muhammad</strong>.<br />

224<br />

Surely, We gave the Book and Wisdom <strong>to</strong> the children of Abraham also<br />

and We also gave them a great kingdom. –Sūrah An-Nisā’, 4:55
