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

here he admits that “no prophets after him” may create wrong<br />

impressions.<br />

Fourth, another argument that we would like <strong>to</strong> address<br />

here has been given by Farhan Khan at certain occasions. He<br />

says that the Holy Prophet sa was the last prophet in the sense<br />

that he was the 124,000 th prophet <strong>to</strong> come in the chain of<br />

prophets. Since Hazrat ‘Īsā as came before the Holy Prophet<br />

<strong>Muhammad</strong> sa , it makes him the 123,999 th prophet. Now, if he<br />

comes back after the Holy Prophet sa , he will still be the 123,999 th<br />

prophet which will not conflict the position of the Holy<br />

Prophet sa as the last of the prophets. The response <strong>to</strong> this<br />

argument is something that could even be explained by a<br />

kindergarten student who can only count up <strong>to</strong> 10. One can<br />

even ask a 4 year old boy or girl <strong>to</strong> read the following in order<br />

<strong>to</strong> show him or her how Farhan Khan counts:<br />

1<br />

2<br />

3<br />

4<br />

5<br />

6<br />

7<br />

8<br />

10<br />

9<br />

After reading the above, he or she may not express his feelings<br />

in words but will surely think of Farhan Khan as a person who<br />

should be demoted <strong>to</strong> pre-school <strong>to</strong> learn how <strong>to</strong> count. Just as<br />

the digit 9 has <strong>to</strong> appear before 10 and after 8, the number<br />

123,999 has <strong>to</strong> appear before 124,000. It cannot appear after it.<br />

Hence, this is only superficial gibberish that Farhan Khan has<br />

come up with in order <strong>to</strong> prove his points. Also, it is important
