Risalat-Final Prophet Khatme Nabuwat
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
The final Prophet(nabi)/Messenger(rasool)
Muhammad is not the
father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the
prophets; and Allah is cognizant of all things.( 33/40)
The Risalat is linked to Nubauwah, every Rusul is Nabi but every Nabi is not Rusul.
The Messengership and Prophethood have ended and there will be no Messenger and Prophet after me (Tirimdhi 2274)
There will arise 30 grand Liars from my Ummah, each of them will claim that he is the Prophet whereas “I AM KHATAM AN NABIYEEN AND THERE IS NO PROPHET AFTER ME” [Sunnan Tirimdhi , Hadith # 2202]
I am the leader of
all Prophets and there is no boast, I am the Last of all Prophets and there is
no boast [Sunnan al Darimi,
Hadith # 50]
There is no Prophet
after me, and there is no Ummah after you, so you should worship your Lord and
say your 5 daily prayers, and fast in your month (Ramadan), obey your leaders
and thus enter the Blessed garden of your Lord [Imam Tabarani in Muj’am al Kabir, Volume No. 8, Hadith #
7217]
I have been given
superiority over the other prophets in six respects: I have been given words
which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror
(in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me: the earth has
been made for me clean and a place of worship; “I HAVE BEN SENT TO ALL
MANKIND AND THE LINE OF PROPHETS IS CLOSED WITH ME” [Book 004, Number 1062:
(Sahih Muslim)]
“The Israelis used
to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died, another would take
over his place. ”THERE WILL BE NO PROPHET AFTER ME, BUT THERE WILL BE
CALIPHS WHO WILL INCREASE IN NUMBER ”The people asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! What do you order us (to do)?” He said, “Obey the one who
will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs)
rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah
has put under their guardianship.” [Volume 4, Book 56, Number 661:
(Sahih Bukhari)]
Imam al Qadhi Iyaadh (rah) the author of magnificent Seerah work i.e. Ash-Shifa, he writes:We declare that person as Kafir who considers someone along with you or after you as a Prophet, just like this we also declare him Kafir who claims that “Revelation (Wahi)” is sent to him even if he does not claim propethood, Thus all such people are “DISBELIEVERS” because they do Takdhib of Prophet (i.e. call him liar – Naudhobillah). The Prophet (ﷺ) has informed us that he is “KHATAM AN NABIYEEN” and “NO PROPHET WILL COME AFTER HIM” and that “HE HAS BEEN SENT TO ALL PEOPLE” The ummah is unanimous that this Kalaam is to be taken on its apparent and there is no room for any Tawil, or Takhsis and the Kufr of such people is Qat’i (i.e. Definite) Ijmai (i.e. unanimously agreed) [Ash Shifa, Page No. 237-238]
The great Hanafi Imams,
Allama Khafaji (rah) and Mullah Ali Qari (rah) have also endorced this strongly
in Naseem ur Riyaaz, Volume No. 6, Page No. 355-256, Sharh ash-Shifa Volume No.
2, Page No. 515-516]
Imam Abu Hayyan al
Andalusi [D. 445 AH] after deciscively proving Finality of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) from Quran and Sunnah writes in his Tafsir Al
Bahr al Muheet: A Person who has a viewpoint that Prophethood is not closed, or
one who thinks that a Wali is superior than Nabi then such a person is
“ZINDEEQ” and “Wajib ul Qatl” Those who had claimed Prophethood amongst people
then Muslims have killed them. [Tafsir Bahr al Muheet, Under 33:40]
Qadhi Thana Ullah
PaniPatti (rah) writes in his Tafsir al Mazhari: Khatam has been mentioned (in
this ayah) in the meaning of “Akhir/Last” and someone who came to bring an “END
TO SOMETHING” as “Last Nabi after whom no Prophet will come [Tafsir al Mazhari,
Volume No. 9, Page No. 266]
