I call Allah, the Glorious, to witness that I am not a disbeliever. My doctrine is that there is no one worthy of worship save Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah . I believe concerning him that he was the Messenger of Allah and the Khataman Nabiyyeen. ( Karamatus Sadiqeen, p.25) http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/finality.html

I believe in the Khatam-i-Nabuwat of the Khatamul Anbyya ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and consider one who denies the Khatam-i-Nabuwat as faithless and outside the pale of Islam. ( Taqreer Wajabul llan, 1891) http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/finality.html

My belief is that our Holy Prophet ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is better and more exalted than all the Messengers and is Khataman Nabiyyeen. ( Ayenah Kamalat Islam, p.327) http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/finality.html

I believe that our Holy Prophet ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Hadhrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is more exalted than all the Messengers and is the Khatamul Anbiya. ( Hamamatul Bushra, p.8) http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/finality.html

I believe truly and perfectly in the verse which says: 'But he was the Messenger of Allah and Khataman Nabiyyeen'. ( Ek Ghalti Ka Izala) http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/finality.html

My belief that I hold in this life and with which, by the grace of Allah, I shall pass on from this world is that our lord and master, Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was Khataman Nabiyyeen and the best of Messengers.

The Ahmadiyya belief on Khatm i Nubuwat The first two types of prophethoods, namely Haqiqi Nabuwat and Mustaqil Nabuwat, have both now ceased to exist after the advent of the Holy Prophet Hadhrat Muhammad (pbuh) The only type of prophethood which remains is one which serves Shariah-i-Muhammadi -- Muhammadi Law, as embodied in the Holy Qur‘an It draws its inspiration and legitimacy from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)with whom it retains the relationship of Master and Servant and to whom it remains totally subservient EXALTED STATUS OF THE HOLY PROPHET AS THE KHATAMUN NABIYEEN Sahibzada M.
