Examples of Khātam used in other contexts 49
This is the kind of example that Farhan Khan gave in his book!
He is so blinded by his bias against Islām Ahmadiyya that he
does not even bother to read what he is writing! There was never
any evolution with the word salāh! Since the Arabic language is
mubīn and multiple meanings can be applied to the same word,
the word salāh has multiple meanings as well. In the verse, the
meaning of “blessing” is applied based on the context of the
verse, and in the hadīth, the meaning of “ritual prayer” is
applied based on its particular context. The same principle
applies to the usage of the word khātam. If the context shows
that it has been used to mean “last,” then this meaning would
apply and if the context shows that it has been used to mean
“seal,” then this meaning applies.
Khātam-ul-Muhājirīn
Another narration that Farhan Khan quotes in his chapter
is as follows:
انaاaمaاکaخاتمaااجر نaaاجرۃaاaااa
خاتمaابنaaابوۃ
“Rest assured O Uncle! For you are the Khātam-ul-
Muhājirīn (last of the migrants) in the migration as I
am the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn (last of the Prophets) in
the prophethood.” 34
Quoting the above hadīth, Farhan Khan goes into a long
discussion about the authenticity of the narrators of the hadīth.
