Continuation of Prophethood according to Ahādīth 301<br />

Say, had there been other gods with Him, as they say,<br />

then they (idolaters) would have surely sought out a<br />

way to the Owner of the Throne.<br />

Based on this verse, the Ahmadī [Muslims] would<br />

have to accept that it is possible for there to be other<br />

deities worthy of worship besides Allāh because the<br />

same if-statement is used. 297<br />

Again, as usual, Farhan Khan used his bias to make another<br />

straw man fallacy by attributing ridiculous beliefs to the<br />

Ahmadī Muslims while failing to address the actual argument.<br />

If-then statements imply that if a certain condition were to<br />

exist, then a result would occur. Even if the if condition did not<br />

occur, it does not negate the truth of the then result. Ahmadī<br />

Muslims do not believe in hypothetical statements; however, if<br />

the statements come from God or the Prophet sa , they are stated<br />

with a purpose to guide us towards truth. The fact of the matter<br />

is that the Ahmadiyya Muslim understanding is based on an<br />

“if-then statement,” which is perfectly logical. The Holy<br />

Prophet sa did not say, “If… he would have been a prophet.”<br />

Instead, he said, “If he had lived, [then] he would surely have<br />

been a prophet.” In other words, in the mind of the Holy<br />

Prophet Muhammad sa , prophethood continues.<br />

Second, Farhan Khan presents a verse of the Holy<br />

Qur’ān, as shown above, to refute the Ahmadiyya Muslim<br />

understanding, and to dupe a person who lacks knowledge of<br />

the Holy Qur’ān or the Arabic language. However, to an honest<br />

person with knowledge of the Holy Qur’ān and the Arabic<br />

language, it clearly demonstrates the devious way with which<br />
