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

Holy Qur’ān which the Muslims would not need <strong>to</strong> follow.<br />

Consider the following commandment:<br />

اَلَمْ‏ اَعْهَدْ‏ اِلَيْكمُ‏ ْ يٰبَنىِ‏ ْۤ اٰدَمَ‏ اَنْ‏ لاَّ‏ تَعْبُدُوْا َّ الش يْطٰ‏ نَ‏ ۚ اِنَّهٗ‏ لَكمُ‏ ْ عَدُوٌّ‏<br />

وَّاَنِ‏ اعْبُدُ‏ وْ‏ نىِ‏ ْ هٰذَا صرِ‏ ‏َاطٌ‏ مُّس<br />

۝<br />

ْ تَقِيمْ‏ ٌ<br />

مُّبِينْ‏ ۝ٌ<br />

Did I not enjoin on you, O ye sons of Adam, that you<br />

worship not Satan — for he is <strong>to</strong> you an open enemy<br />

– And that you worship Me? This is the right path. 264<br />

All these verses need <strong>to</strong> be taken as they are and the ridiculous<br />

dis<strong>to</strong>rtions of Farhan Khan should be discarded. These verses<br />

contain many commandments which the Muslims adhere <strong>to</strong><br />

and follow, even <strong>to</strong>day. The reality is that the whole of mankind<br />

is the progeny of Adam as and this includes the Muslims.<br />

Ahmadī Muslim Argument<br />

In verse 36 of Sūrah Al-A‘rāf, the words “ ْ ايَ‏ ‏ْتِيَنَّكمُ‏ ‏”اِمَّا (If there<br />

come <strong>to</strong> you) are used by Allāh, the Exalted, and “ ْ ‏ْتِيَنَّكمُ‏ ‏”ايَ‏ is a ل<br />

ارع (f‘ail mudhāri‘ mu’akkad binūn thaqīlah) – a aؤ‏ّد aبونِ‏ aثہ<br />

grammatical structure used for present and future tenses with<br />

extra emphasis placed <strong>to</strong> point out the importance of the<br />

commandment. In other words, it means that prophets will<br />

surely come. Therefore, Allāh, the Exalted, gives the glad tidings<br />

in this verse that prophets will continue <strong>to</strong> come from among<br />

you and you should accept them. In our age, Hazrat Mirzā<br />

Ghulām Ahmad as has come as a prophet, reciting many signs of<br />

Allāh un<strong>to</strong> us, and it is required from us <strong>to</strong> accept him.<br />
