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

269<br />

وَّاَنهَُّمْ‏ ظَ‏ نُّوْا امكَ‏ َ ظَ‏ نَنْتمُ‏ ْ اَنْ‏ لَّنْ‏ يَّبْعَثَ‏ ٰ اهللّ‏ ُ اَحَدًا‎۝ۙ‎<br />

That Allāh will never send anyone as a prophet. In<br />

reality, earlier peoples used <strong>to</strong> indulge in such foolish<br />

talk just as you indulge in <strong>to</strong>day. You also say that<br />

God shall not send anyone now [as a prophet]. If,<br />

according <strong>to</strong> the ’ulemā of <strong>to</strong>day, this decree had<br />

changed in the time of the Holy Prophet sa and the<br />

practise of sending no more prophets has been<br />

initiated [by Allāh, the Exalted], then what was the<br />

reason for God <strong>to</strong> say this in the Qur’ān? Instead, the<br />

reality is that Allāh, the Exalted, is saying this <strong>to</strong> the<br />

Holy Prophet sa as a foolishness of the earlier<br />

peoples. 270<br />

This is the Ahmadiyya Muslim argument and this is what<br />

Farhan Khan should have refuted if he had been honest! It is<br />

surprising, even shocking, <strong>to</strong> see that he <strong>to</strong>tally ignores the main<br />

argument and goes in<strong>to</strong> a completely different discussion.<br />

Allāh, the Exalted, says in verses 35 and 36 of Sūrah Al-Mu’min<br />

that those people who think that prophethood has come <strong>to</strong> an<br />

end are “transgressors and doubters” and such a one is an<br />

“arrogant and haughty<br />

Question for Farhan Khan:<br />

1. Why did he hide the original argument presented by<br />

Hazrat Mirzā Tāhir Ahmad rh and committed the straw<br />

man fallacy of refuting something that was a dis<strong>to</strong>rted<br />

269<br />

And indeed they thought, even as you think, that Allāh would never raise<br />

any Messenger. –Sūrah Al-Jinn, 72:8<br />
