Hazrat Sheikh ‘Abd-ul-Qādir Al-Kurdistāni wrote, “The title<br />

Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn conferred on the Holy Prophet (peace and<br />

These are only a few examples of the opinions of the scholars and saints of<br />

Islām. Several other examples are given in the chapter entitled Opinion of the<br />
