Last Law-bearing Prophet sa 63<br />

It must be remembered that the Holy Qur’ān, as we<br />

believe, is a book of complete and perfect laws which<br />

need not be abrogated. The question, therefore of a<br />

new law does not arise at all. No new law needs<br />

promulgation, nor is there a need for a new Prophet<br />

with a new law. This is a fact which is wholly based<br />

on the Holy Qur’ān - the word of God, and is also<br />

supported by the general consensus of the Muslim<br />

the rank of those whom God loves: ‘And whoso<br />

obeys Allāh and this messenger shall be among those<br />

on whom Allāh has bes<strong>to</strong>wed His blessings - the<br />

Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the<br />

Righteous. And an excellent company are they.’<br />

(Chapter 4, Verse 70). And again, Allāh says in the<br />

Holy Qur’ān: ‘Behold! the friends of Allāh shall<br />

certainly have no fear, nor shall they grieve. Those<br />

who believed and were ever righteous, for them are<br />

glad tidings in the present life and also in the
