Belief in Khatam an-nabiyyin

[ BACK ] Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and members of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`at Islam Lahore believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and the blessings of God be upon him, is the Khatam an-nabiyyin. Hazrat Mirza wrote as follows:

``I believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Khatam of the Prophets.''

(Ainah Kamalat Islam, p. 21)

``I believe in the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, being the Khatam an-nabiyyin, and I know with perfect certainty and I firmly believe that our Holy Prophet is the Khatam al-anbiya.''

(Nishan Asmani, p. 28)

``I hold that our Messenger Muhammad mustafa, peace be upon him, is the most excellent of messengers and the Khatam an-nabiyyin.''

(Hamamat al-Bushra, p. 8; new edition p. 36)

``I believe in God and His Messenger, and I also believe that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, is the Khatam an-nabiyyin.''

(ibid., p. 81; new edition p. 290)

``My belief is that our Leader and Master Hazrat Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Khatam al-anbiya.''

(Kitab al-Barriyya, p. 182, footnote)

``We believe that there is none worthy of worship except Allah Almighty, and our Leader Muhammad mustafa, peace be upon him, is His Messenger and the Khatam al-anbiya.''

(Ayyam as-Sulh, pp. 86,--,87)

``As for belief, what God wants from you is that God is One, and Muhammad, peace be upon him, is His Prophet and the Khatam al-anbiya, and the greatest.''

(Kishti-i Nuh, p. 15)

``The finality of prophethood with the Holy Prophet is not only due to his being the last in time, but also because all the accomplishments of prophethood were completed with him.''

(Lecture on Islam at Sialkot, p. 6)

``The age of the prophethood of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, extends till the Day of Judgment, and he is the Khatam al-anbiya.''

(Chashma-i Ma`rifat, p. 82)

``I have written again and again that it is a real and actual fact that our Leader and Master, peace be upon him, is the Khatam al-anbiya.}''

(ibid., p. 324, footnote)

``I swear by Almighty God that I am not a kafir. My belief is: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And regarding the Holy Prophet, I believe [the verse of the Quran]: He is the Messenger of Allah and the Khatam an-nabiyyin. I swear to the truth of this statement of mine as many times as there are holy names of God, and as many times as there are letters in the Holy Quran, and as many times as there are virtues of the Holy Prophet in the sight of God. None of my beliefs is opposed to the commands of God and the Apostle.''
