Is Denying Finality Of Prophet Muhammad (SWS) Prophethood Kufr?
Statement of Ghamidi Sahab was from a principle standpoint and it applies equally to both viewpoints. Accordign to Ahnaf, Prophet Jesus (sws) will come as a follower of Shariah of Prophet Muhammad (sws) but he will be a prophet as well and will do ijtihad directly from Quran. This is problematic because hypothetically speaking, when prophet jesus will understand a particular verse of Quran then it is his interpretation of that verse which will hold the final authority and not those words of Quran themselves. Similarly, when Mirza Ghulam Ahmed interprets a verse of Quran then it is his interpretation which holds the final authority and both these scenarios in essence negate the final authority of Quran as both Meezan and Quran or finality of Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (sws) because now the yardstick is no more Quran but a divine personality who will interpret the Quran for us.
Okay, I see. This explanation clears things up for me. JazakAllah Umer Bhai.
