Continuation of Prophethood according to the Holy Qur’ān 261
Allāh has decreed: ‘Most surely I will prevail, I and
My messengers.’ Verily, Allāh is Powerful, Mighty. 258
All that is decreed for the opposition of Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām
Ahmad as , a messenger of Allāh, is despair, misery, and

The fifth problem with Farhan Khan’s arguments is that he
quotes the following hadīth in support of his points:
I heard Allāh’s Apostle sa saying, “No prophet gets
sick but he is given the choice to select either this
world or the Hereafter.”Ayesha ra added, “During his
fatal illness, his voice became very husky and I heard
him saying, ‘In the company of those whom is the
Grace of Allāh, of the prophets, the siddīqīn, the
martyrs, and the pious’ (4.69). And from this, I came
to know that he had been given the option.”
From the above hadīth, Farhan Khan concludes that 4:70 is
absolutely about the next life and it cannot possibly be about
this life. However, the reality is that this hadīth, itself,
categorically rejects his desired meaning. One should ask this
simple question: When the Holy Prophet sa recited this verse, was
he a prophet at that time or not? If Farhan Khan’s meaning is
applied, it would mean that the Holy Prophet sa was not a
prophet in this life but was only hoping to be with the prophets
in the next life ( ). No Muslim in the world, who
truly loves the Holy Prophet sa , will accept his meaning. Farhan
Khan should have put some thought into this. His meanings are
