Qari Muhammad Tayyab al-Deobandi: Muhammad (SAW) is NOT the Last Prophet

Introduction

Deobandis, just like other ‘Sunnis’ fabricate lies against Ahmadi Muslims by claiming that we deny that Muhammad (SAW) is Khatam an-Nabiyyin or that we don’t consider the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to be the last prophet. Their only reason for lying about us is to hide the fact that their scholars have said exactly what they are alleging against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).

Prophethood has ended

Qari Muhammad Tayyab is the grandson of Qasim Nanotwi. Qasim Nanotwi is the founder of the Deobandi sect. Qasim Nanotwi has made numerous statements where he claims that Khatam an-Nabiyyin DOES NOT mean the ‘the last Prophet’, rather, it is the understanding of the common people. In this article, we will show his grandson confirming the same belief. Note, that Qari Muhammad Tayyab is called ‘Hakeem al-Islam’ by the Deobandis which means ‘The Wise scholar of Islam’.

The Manifestations of the Light of Prophethood

When the Muhaddithīn come, the light of my Prophethood will manifest through them. When the Fuqahā come—Abu Hanifah, Malik, al-Shāfiʿī (rahimahumullah)—my light will shine through all of them; they will have no light of their own. When the noble Sufis appear—Junayd, Shiblī, Bayazid Bastami, etc.—their beings will carry no light except the light of my Prophethood.

From some, the light of my knowledge will appear; from others, the light of my character; from others still, the light of my zuhd and contentment. All of them will manifest my light, and my one Prophethood will be sufficient until the Day of Judgment. New mirrors will keep appearing, and that same light will keep radiating; the world will continue to be illuminated.
There is no need for a new prophethood, because all degrees of Prophethood have been perfected and completed in me. To interpret Khatam-un-Nabiyyīn as “the door of Prophethood is shut” is to mislead people. Its true meaning is the perfection and completion of Prophethood, not the severance of Prophethood or the spread of darkness.

Do not fall into the deception that Khatm-e-Nubuwwat means qataʿ-e-nubuwwat. It means kamāl-e-nubuwwat and takmīl-e-nubuwwat. O Prophet ﷺ, you are the Khatam—meaning that the ranks and stages of Prophethood end with you. After you, every reformer, muhaddith, imam, saint, martyr, and mujahid will carry only one light: your light. They are vessels, and from each vessel the perfection of your Prophethood will shine.

It is as if Allah created such a Being that from his blessings the earlier ones became Prophets, and the later ones became Saints. Sainthood and Prophethood both emanate from the same source. The Prophets of the past benefited from your Prophethood, and those who come after continue to become saints, reformers, and muhaddathīn through the perfections granted to you.

This is just part of the sermon of Qari Muhammad Tayyab. Everyone can read the complete sermon and other statements where he expands on the same exact topic. Here is one video for the benefit of the Urdu speakers. It has English subtitles for non-Urdu speakers.

Conclusion

This leads to many questions.

1. Why are Deobandis takfiring Ahmadi Muslims when their leading scholars are publicly claiming that Khatme Nabuwat DOES NOT mean ‘termination of prophethood’?
2. Why are they not takfiring their ulema or why are their modern day ulema not takfiring their own founders? Why the hypocrisy?
3. Why are the rest of the ‘Sunnis’ silent on this issue when they are the loudest voices against Ahmadi Muslims?
4. Where are the ‘Khatme Nabuwat’ gangs who lynch non-Muslims and Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan? How are they protecting ‘Khatme Nabuwat’ when they are literally teaming up with those who are claiming Muhammad (SAW) is NOT the last prophet?

No one from amongst the ‘Sunnis’ will ever be able to answer these questions!
