[quote]Amin Ahsen Islahi writes in Tadabur ul Quran. Every rasool is a Nabi but every Nabi is not necessarily a rasool. Thus when prophet pbuh is "khatim ul unbiyah", he is also " khatim ur rusul". He further writes, When we look through the historical record of umbiyah through the divine scriptures and Qur'an, we find that from Hazrat Adam to Hazrat Isa pbut, none of them prophessed to be "khatim ul unbiyah". On the contrary, every nabi gave indications and information of the unbiyah to follow them. When angels questioned hazrat Adam pbuh, he introduced all the unbiyah to follow him to them. When hazrat Ibrahim pbuh prayed to Allah, Allah accepted his prayers, and he was given glad tidings of having unbiyah in his generations to follow. When we look at the history oif bani Israel, we find that every nabi gave clear indications about succeeding nabi. We find the mention of the coming of prophet pbuh as mentioned in surah araaf verse 157. One of the last unbiyah in bani Israel was hazrat Yahyah pbuh. he stated that " the mission of his life was to pave the way for the one to come". He was indicating the coming of hazrat isa pbuh. Hazrat Isa pbuh was the last nabi and rasool in bani Israel, he gave clear indications about the coming of prophet pbuh as quoted in surah saaf verse 6. which ends"and I give glad tidings about tye coming of a rasool after me and his name will be Ahmad".This tradition of naming succeding nabi finished at prophet pbuh. Allah Himself stated in the Qur'an that he is "khatimun nabeen". The prophet pbuh never gave any indication that there would be a succeeding nabi. The other issue to remember is that if deen was incomlete or unfinished then it would make sense to have further nabi or rasool., but when in Islam the completion of deen had taken place then there was no need to have subsequent nabi after prophet pbuh. The responsibility that Allah has undertaken of personally protecting the Qur'an is also a consequence of "khatam i nabooat". Prior to islam, if a nation forgot the teachings of their nabi or made alterations, then the following nabi corrected them. But as there will be no nabi after prophet pbuh, Allah has taken the responsibility of protecting the Final Testament. Hadith from Bukhari " The prophet pbuh stated thatthe example of myself and the nabi before me is like a person who constructed a building, very beautiful and elegant, but in one corner there was an empty space for one more brick. People used to go around this building and appreciate it but would state why that space was not filled with the missing brick! Thus I am that missing brick and I am "khatam un nabiyeen". Hadith from Tirmazi The prophet pbuh stated that "The chain of rasaalat and naboat has finished. After me there will be no more nabi or rasool." In the famous hadith whwer prophet pbuh stated 6 qualities that he has in comparison to other nabi, the last one was that he is khatim un nabiyeen. the chain of unbiyah completed upon him. The prophet pbuh in anothe rhadith stated among his names is aqib and then elabotrated that it means that after me there will be no more nabi. Ans bin malik states hadith " The prophet pbuh stated that after me the chain of nabooat and risaalat will finish. Now there will be no more nabi or rasool. The people became grim after listening this. The prophet pbuh then said " mubassharat" will still remain. People asked what is mubassharat O'Prophet of Allah. Prophet pbuh replied Rooyah (meaning a good dream). Amin Ahsen Islahi concludes by saying Naboowat does not have different types. there is only one shape of naboowat as shown by the Qur'an and Hadith. "Zilli" and "Barwaazi" naboowat are completely statanic explanations and have no basis in Quran.[/quote]
