Statement Of Molana Qasim Nanotwi On Prophethood And Khatm-e-Nabuwat
There is no basis in Quran as far as the statement of Molana Qasim Nanotwi is concerned. Such statements basically stem from Tasawwuf and Molana was a known Sufi. Our Sufis have always negated the implications of the finality of Prophethood and have their own peculiar concept about this finality. They maintain that the Almighty still sends down His revelation to their leading figures, just as He did to His Prophets. They also claim that like the Prophet (sws), many of their own distinguished people have ascended the heavens to witness Divine Disclosures ( Tajalliaat ) and were also blessed with the opportunity of a dialogue with the Almighty. According to them, the meaning of the finality of Prophethood is that no one will be able to give a new Shariah, but as far as other features and characteristics of prophethood are concerned, they still exist and are attainable.
