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.''
(Karamat
as-Sadiqeen, p. 25)
