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

Farhan Khan has made his argument. The verse that he has<br />

presented is a perfect example of ‏,‏اسaعaاارق that is, <strong>to</strong> use an<br />

example in an argument which has nothing <strong>to</strong> do with the<br />

subject of discussion. If Farhan Khan has an objection <strong>to</strong> such<br />

“if-then statements,” then it is very likely he would not believe<br />

in the following verse of the Qur’ān:<br />

وَلَوْ‏ اَنهَُّمْ‏ اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّقَوْا لَمَثُوْبَةٌ‏ مّ‏ ‏ِنْ‏ عِنْدِ‏ اهللّ‏ ٰ ِ خَيرٌْؕ‏<br />

And if they had believed and acted righteously,<br />

better surely would have been the reward from<br />

Allāh. 298<br />

As a result, the Ahmadiyya Muslim understanding can be<br />

illustrated as follows:<br />

Statement<br />

Statement<br />

If they believe and act<br />

righteously, [then] they will be<br />

rewarded from Allāh.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Prophethood continues<br />

Conclusion<br />

Allāh rewards the believers<br />

Farhan Khan’s understanding can be summarized as follows:<br />
