Last Law-bearing Prophet sa 79
When the Ahmadī Muslims say that the Holy Prophet sa is
the Seal, they mean that he is the authority that validates the
truth of the prophets. The Qur’ān has clearly stated that despite
the fact that there are no more laws, there can still be more
prophets. The only way to harmonize these statements is to
believe that no more law-bearing prophets can come from
outside the ummah as that will break the Seal of prophethood. Only
those authenticated by the Seal of the prophethood of Hazrat
Muhammad sa can come. This is elaborated by The Promised
Messiah as in the following quotation:
Thus if someone were to ask how it is possible for
another prophet to come after the Holy Prophet sa who
is Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn, the simple answer is that no
prophet—new or old—can come in the manner in
which you people seek the descent of Jesus as in the
latter days, while you also believe that he will be a
prophet and that he will continue to receive prophetic
revelation for forty years, and will thus surpass the
period of the Holy Prophet’s sa prophethood. Such a
belief is undoubtedly sinful. The verse:
