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

No perfection, except the perfection of prophethood bearing<br />

Law has ended. <strong>With</strong> respect <strong>to</strong> the other beneficences of God<br />

Almighty, He is neither miserly nor niggardly.<br />

16. Hazrat Sayyed ‘Abd-ul-Karīm Jilānī, a renowned sufi of<br />

the 8 th century Hijra, expressed his opinion in Al-Insān-ul-<br />

Kāmil fi Ma‘rifah Al-Awākhir wal-Awā’il, Page 115, in the<br />

following words:<br />

The coming of the law-bearing prophets, after the Holy<br />

Prophet, peace and blessings on him, has ceased as he has been<br />

exalted <strong>to</strong> be the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn because he brought with<br />

him such a perfect law as no other prophet had brought before<br />

him.<br />

17. Maulānā ‘Abd-ul-Hayee Faranghī Mahlī, an eminent<br />

scholar of the Sunnīs, has also discussed the significance<br />

of the expression, Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn, and on behalf of<br />

Sunnī scholars, he has declared in Majmū‘ah Fatāwā,<br />

Volume 1, Page 144:<br />

The divines of the Sunnī sects believe in and expound the fact<br />

that in the course of the ministry of the Holy Prophet, peace<br />

and blessings of Allāh be upon him, there cannot appear a law<br />

bearing prophet and his prophethood extends <strong>to</strong> the end of days.<br />

A prophet who appears during his ministry shall necessarily be<br />

the follower of the Law of <strong>Muhammad</strong>.<br />

The next two pages are scans from the original Mathnawī of<br />

Hazrat Maulānā Rūm rh , a great saint of Islām.
