Have stated that ** anyone who denies the finality of prophethood is a kafir **.
here is a long list of ** Kafirs **:
- ** Hadhrat Abu Abdullah Muhammadd bin Ali Hussain Al Hakam Tirmidhi: **
“How can the glory and superiority of Muhammad (saw) be manifested if we claim that he was the last in time to appear in the world? This is no doubt, an interpretation of the foolish and the ignorant.” (Kitab Khatamal Auliya p. 341) "
- ** Hadhrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddas of Delhi **:
“Muhammad (saw) was the last of the Prophets in the sense that there will appear no one after him to promulgate a new law for the people.”
(Tafheemat-i-Ilahiyya, pg. 53)
- ** Syed Abdul Qadir Jeelani stated: **
“The prophetic law is finished and completed with the Holy Prophet because he was the called Al Khatuman Nabiyyan.”
(Al-Insanul Kamil ch. 36)
- ** Maulana Abdul Haye of Lukhnow: **
“It is Not impossible that a new prophet may appear during or after the age of Muhammad but bringing of a new code of religion is an absolute impossiblity.” (Dafi-ul-Wasawis fee Asr ibn Abbas pg. 12)
- ** Hadhrat Sheik Ahmad Sirhindhi : **
" The attainment of high characteristics of prophethood by way of obiedience and inheritence after the coming of the Khatuman Nabiyyin is not against being Khatam." (Maktoobat Ima Rabbani pg. 432)
- ** hadhrat Sheikul Akbar Muhaiyud Din Ibn Arabi: **
“The prophethood which has ceased the Prophet of God (saw) is only the prophethood with law and not the status of prophethod. So there will be no other institute added to it. So Prophethood has not completly disappeared.”
(Futoohati Makkiyya vol.2 pgs. 3 and 64)
- ** Mullah Ali al Qari: **
“According to the Ulema the words La Nabiyya Badee mean that no prophet shall be raised who shall abrogate the Law of the Holy Prophet (saw)”
(Al Isha at Fi Ashraqatus Saat pg. 226)
- ** Maulana Rum :**
He was the Khatam because no one in generosity, Has ever been like him before nor shall ever be. When an artisan excels to the exellence in his craft, Do you not say to him that the craftmenship has now come to an end?"
(Mathnavi Maulana Rum ch. 6)
- ** Hadhrat Maulvi Abul Qasem Natovi **
“In the conception of the masses the Holy Prophet (saw) was Khatam in the sense that he came after all the other prophets and he was the last prophet of all. But it is evident that in the estimation of the wise no superiority whatever attaches to precedence in time or its reverse.”
(Tah-zirunnas, Saharanpur pg3)
- ** Our mother, hadhrat aisha sadiqua **
“Say that he is Al Khatuman Nabiyyan (the Seal of Prophets) but do not say he is the last of all Prophets.”
(Takmala Majma ul Bihar pg.188; and Manthur)
** Yeh sub KAFIR hain to baqi bacha kon hai jo musalmaan ho? ** All godfearing sunnis follow the above mentioned scholar and their explanation of the koran!
