🔥 Examination: Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light

Refutation of Claims That Suggest New Prophets or Revelations

In Islam, the concept of finality in prophethood is a fundamental belief, establishing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the last prophet, thus marking the end of divine revelations. This doctrine, based on the Quran and Sunnah, safeguards against future claims of prophecy or divinely inspired figures, ensuring the integrity of the Islamic message. This section critiques any claims implying new prophets or revelations, specifically addressing the assertions of the "Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light" (ARPL) regarding their leader, Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem, as a figure with unique authority.

A. Quranic Evidence Against New Prophets or Revelations

The Finality of Prophethood in Surah Al-Ahzab

The Quran provides explicit evidence that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet, closing the line of divine messengers. Allah states:

This verse uses the term "Seal of the Prophets" (Khatam an-Nabiyyin) to confirm that Muhammad (PBUH) is the final prophet. The concept of a "seal" signifies both completion and closure, affirming that no prophet will come after him. Islamic scholars uphold this understanding as an absolute doctrine, rejecting the possibility of future prophets or figures with new revelations.

The Completeness of Islam as Revealed in Surah Al-Ma'idah

In addition to affirming the finality of prophethood, the Quran emphasizes Islam's completeness. Allah states in Surah Al-Ma'idah:

This verse confirms that Islam, as delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), requires no further additions or enhancements. Any claim suggesting new revelations or divine figures contradicts this principle of completeness, as the verse asserts that Islam is already perfected.

B. Prophetic Warnings Against False Prophets and Innovators

Hadith on the Finality of Prophethood and Future Claimants

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) explicitly warned his followers about individuals who would falsely claim prophetic or divine authority after him. In one Hadith, he stated:

This Hadith highlights the importance of caution in matters of religious leadership, discouraging Muslims from following anyone who suggests they possess divine authority, as the Prophet�s mission was final.

C. Scholarly Consensus on the Finality of Prophethood

Islamic Scholars� Consistent Interpretation of Khatam an-Nabiyyin

Islamic scholars have reached a unanimous consensus (ijma') on the finality of Muhammad�s (PBUH) prophethood. Across all major Islamic schools of thought, scholars interpret Khatam an-Nabiyyin (Seal of the Prophets) as an assertion that Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet. This consensus functions as a protective measure, discouraging any future claims to divine or quasi-divine authority.

D. Conclusion: Upholding Finality to Safeguard Islam�s Unity and Integrity

The principle of finality in prophethood, established by the Quran and affirmed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is a cornerstone of Islamic belief. This doctrine protects Islam from future claims of prophethood or additional revelations, ensuring that the message of Muhammad (PBUH) remains the definitive guide for humanity.

The claims made by the "Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light" (ARPL) regarding Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem, which imply a unique spiritual authority, appear to contradict this core principle. By positioning him as a special figure, ARPL risks introducing innovations that deviate from the completeness of Islam as conveyed by Muhammad (PBUH). This approach undermines the integrity of Islamic teachings and challenges the unity that the finality of prophethood is intended to preserve.
