The Belief of the Finality of Prophethood
Judgement, he will still be a Prophet. However, he will not propagate his own Shariah as a Prophet but will act upon the Shariah of the most beloved of Allah’s Prophets, Sayyiduna Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Thus, he will return in the capacity of being a follower of the Holy Prophet.”[1]
Five Disbelieving Interpretations of “خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن”
Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes further: (1) Anyone who says that the meaning of خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن is a "Prophet with a new Shariah, therefore a new Prophet who acts upon this Islamic Shariah can come," is a disbeliever. (2) Anyone who interprets خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن as "Original Prophet," is a disbeliever. (3) Anyone who says that its meaning is اَفْضَلُ النَّبِیّٖن (the most excellent of all Prophets) is a disbeliever.[2] It should be made clear that our Masterصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is certainly superior to all Prophets, but to interpret خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن to mean this is disbelief (as it changes the meaning of the Quranic word). (4) Anyone who says that a new Prophet cannot come to this earth, but can come somewhere else (for example, on the seven earths or in the seven heavens), is a disbeliever. (5) Anyone who says, "A new Prophet cannot come among human beings, but a Prophet can still come among other creations," is a disbeliever.
Remember! The one who interprets خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن in such a way is a disbeliever, and anyone who does not consider him a disbeliever or doubts his disbelief is also a disbeliever, an apostate, and has exited Islam.[3]
