116 <strong>With</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn6. Pharaoh is killed during the pursuit7. Later on, during the journey, Hazrat Mūsā as is absentfrom his people for 40 nights and he appoints HazratHārūn as as a leader for the Israelites during his absenceThis is the sequence of events according <strong>to</strong> the Holy Qur’ān.Allāh, the Exalted, did not appoint Hazrat Hārūn as as a prophetafter that absence. Trying <strong>to</strong> obscure his<strong>to</strong>rical facts in order <strong>to</strong>promote one’s interpretation of the finality of prophethood isridiculously shameful!The context should be quite clear now that when Hazrat<strong>Muhammad</strong> sa was about <strong>to</strong> leave Medīnah and left Hazrat ‘Alī rain charge during his absence, he meant <strong>to</strong> say <strong>to</strong> him, “You are<strong>to</strong> me as Hārūn as was <strong>to</strong> Mūsā as , except there is no prophet otherthan me.”Third, let us reconsider what Farhan Khan wrote:“[Hazrat] ‘Alī ra was exactly like [Hazrat] Hārūn as in that theywere both guardians over their people in the absence of the“master” Prophet, except, unlike [Hazrat] Hārūn as who laterbecame a Prophet, there were no prophets after <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa ,so [Hazrat] ‘Alī was not destined <strong>to</strong> become a Prophet.” 107 No<strong>to</strong>nly does this statement attempt <strong>to</strong> dis<strong>to</strong>rt facts, it ignores thevery basis of the Ahmadiyya Muslim interpretation, that is,Hazrat Hārūn as died during the life of Hazrat Mūsā as ! If he hadlived on after the death of Hazrat Mūsā as , he could have beendeemed a prophet after Hazrat Mūsā as . Instead, Hazrat Mūsā aswas a prophet before and after Hazrat Hārūn as . This is preciselythe reason given by Hazrat Shāh Waliullāh Mohaddas Dehlavī.Let us read his quotation again:107Khan, <strong>With</strong> <strong>Love</strong>, Page 19
