Introduction 3<br />

‘Īsā bin Mariam as , or an attempt to discredit clear-cut messages<br />

of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa . There is no alternative to<br />

explain Farhan Khan’s shallow statement, but either way it<br />

exposes his immature intellect and deprived scholarship. Over<br />

the last 120 years, Islām Ahmadiyya has successfully refuted the<br />

erroneous belief in the supernatural 2,000 plus year old life of<br />

‘Īsā bin Mariam as . Nevertheless, Farhan Khan joins the long list<br />

of our defeated opponents – his only strategy being an attempt<br />

to “trivialize” it. How disappointing!<br />

Farhan Khan goes on to state that the Ahmadī Muslims<br />

have “invented three alternate explanations for what Khātam<br />

Al-Nabiyyīn means: last law-bearing Prophet, chief (best) of the<br />

Prophets, or that future prophets will come bearing the seal of<br />

the Prophet Muhammad sa . This may pose as a source of<br />

confusion to the reader because their position may seem<br />

inconsistent.”<br />

This is a blatant misrepresentation of Islām Ahmadiyya.<br />

Nothing has been invented as these are not new explanations.<br />

Previous scholars of the Muslim ummah [Arabic: community]<br />

have made similar statements as will be shown in this book,<br />

Inshā’ Allāh! If non-Ahmadī Muslims have failed to understand<br />

the very scholars they revere, it is no fault of ours. Those who<br />

cannot swim should stay away from the deep end of the pool, as<br />

those with shallow intellect should stay away from the deep<br />

verses of the Holy Qur’an, lest they drown in ignorance.<br />

Secondly, our position is not “inconsistent” because these<br />

three explanations are not contradictory. All three meanings<br />

equally apply to the status and greatness of the Holy Prophet<br />

Muhammad sa . This illustrates the multi-dimensional beauty and<br />

depth of the Arabic language which allows the same phrase to<br />

have several cumulative meanings.
