46 <strong>With</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa the Khātam-un-NabiyyīnAt this stage, man is granted four garments, that is,existence, life, power, and ‘Aql [i.e., the ability <strong>to</strong>think]. And ‘Aql is the Khātam-ul-Kul [i.e., best amongthem all]. And it is necessary for Khātam <strong>to</strong> be the‘Best’. Don’t you see that our Holy Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allāh be upon him) was the Khātamun-Nabiyyīnin the sense of being the Afzal-ul-Anbiyā’[Best of the Prophets] (upon whom be blessings andpeace)? And man is the Khātam-ul-Makhluqāt-ul-Jismāniyyah [i.e., Seal of the created beings withbodies] in the sense of being the best among them. Inthe same sense, ‘Aql is the Khātam of the Garmentsgranted [<strong>to</strong> man] by Allāh – the Possessor of Majesty– in the sense of being the best of the garments andthe most excellent. 29This quotation is from a very well acknowledged Tafsīr of theHoly Qur’ān and nobody can claim that the writer did notfollow the Usūl-ut-Tafsīr or that he tried <strong>to</strong> use an ‘evolved” or“changed” meaning of the word khātam. In conclusion, it is nowproven that the Ahmadiyya Muslim interpretation of the word khātamis completely in coherence with the Usūl-ut-Tafsīr!One more thing that needs <strong>to</strong> be noted here is that FarhanKhan illustrates his faulty point with a ridiculous example! Hequotes the following verse:ِٕ اِنَّ‏ ٰ اهللّ‏ وَمَلٰ‏ ٓ ىكَتَهٗ‏ يُصَ‏ لُّوْ‏ نَ‏ عَلىَ‏وَسَ‏ لّ‏ ‏ِمُوْا تَسْ‏ لِيْمًاالنَّبىِ‏ ّؕ يٰۤاَيهُّ‏ ‏َا اذلَّ‏ ‏ِيْنَ‏ اٰمَنُوْا صَ‏ لُّوْا عَلَيْ‏ ‏ِه۝29ترaبر،‏aجدa،۴aحہa Imām Razi, Tafsīr Kabīr, Volume 4, Pages 22, 31, and 34 [۳۴ a،۳۱a،۲۲]
