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

The need for another Prophet after the advent of the<br />

last is an intrinsically contradictory belief. Faced with<br />

this dilemma the ‘Ulemā’ always twist the issue by<br />

arguing that the need for the advent of a Prophet<br />

may occur after the final Prophet had come and gone.<br />

Yet, the absoluteness of his finality would remain<br />

intact as long as the new need is fulfilled by an old<br />

Prophet. But anyone should be able to see through<br />

this transparent effort at cheating. The difference of<br />

old or new is just a childish attempt to confuse the<br />

issue. If Jesus as of Nazareth reappears and submits to<br />

the supremacy of Prophet Muhammad sa , he would<br />

still be a Prophet after him. To fulfil the new need by<br />

borrowing an old Prophet from a bygone people is<br />

far worse than fulfilling the same need by raising a<br />

new Prophet from within the people of Islām. If the<br />

former does not violate the Doctrine of Finality the<br />

latter most certainly cannot. 45<br />

Based on this quotation, it is already clear that Farhan Khan<br />

made inappropriate and dishonest conclusions about the<br />

Ahmadiyya Muslim position. His second quotation is from the<br />

article entitled The concept of Revelation in Islām and this is also<br />

quoted below:<br />

Do We Need a Further Law After the Holy Qur’ān<br />

The tenth question relating to the subject of<br />

revelation is: Is it necessary to have a new law<br />

revealed even after the Holy Qur’ān?<br />
