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

6. Pharaoh is killed during the pursuit<br />

7. Later on, during the journey, Hazrat Mūsā as is absent<br />

from his people for 40 nights and he appoints Hazrat<br />

Hārūn as as a leader for the Israelites during his absence<br />

This is the sequence of events according to the Holy Qur’ān.<br />

Allāh, the Exalted, did not appoint Hazrat Hārūn as as a prophet<br />

after that absence. Trying to obscure historical facts in order to<br />

promote one’s interpretation of the finality of prophethood is<br />

ridiculously shameful!<br />

The context should be quite clear now that when Hazrat<br />

Muhammad sa was about to leave Medīnah and left Hazrat ‘Alī ra<br />

in charge during his absence, he meant to say to him, “You are<br />

to me as Hārūn as was to Mūsā as , except there is no prophet other<br />

than me.”<br />

Third, let us reconsider what Farhan Khan wrote:<br />

“[Hazrat] ‘Alī ra was exactly like [Hazrat] Hārūn as in that they<br />

were both guardians over their people in the absence of the<br />

“master” Prophet, except, unlike [Hazrat] Hārūn as who later<br />

became a Prophet, there were no prophets after Muhammad sa ,<br />

so [Hazrat] ‘Alī was not destined to become a Prophet.” 107 Not<br />

only does this statement attempt to distort facts, it ignores the<br />

very basis of the Ahmadiyya Muslim interpretation, that is,<br />

Hazrat Hārūn as died during the life of Hazrat Mūsā as ! If he had<br />

lived on after the death of Hazrat Mūsā as , he could have been<br />

deemed a prophet after Hazrat Mūsā as . Instead, Hazrat Mūsā as<br />

was a prophet before and after Hazrat Hārūn as . This is precisely<br />

the reason given by Hazrat Shāh Waliullāh Mohaddas Dehlavī.<br />

Let us read his quotation again:<br />
