Brother Zakir Naik ! You were asked , “ As-Salam Alaikum, I am Saima Kadri - and my question is that, why there are nowomen Prophets in Islam ? Brother Zakir Naik ! You answered : “Sister has posed a question - why are there no‘Women Prophets’ in Islam? If by ‘Prophets’ you mean, that a person who receives the message and who acts like a leader to the people, then I can say for sure, that in Islam we have got no ‘Women Prophets’. AndI think it is right,because if a woman has to be a Prophet – The Qur’an clearly states, thatman is the leader of the family. So if the man is the leader in the family… how can he leadthe… how can a woman lead over the people? Come to the second part - a Prophet has toeven lead the congregational prayers. And as I said earlier, that there are certain postures like Qayam, Ruku, Sujud , standing, bowing and doing the Sujud … prostration - and which, if a Woman Prophet does, the congregation behind, will get disturbed. There are situationslike… the Prophet has to meet with the common man, very regularly. If it is aWoman Prophet…Islam does not allow intermingling of sexes. If the Prophet is a lady… she… and if she gets pregnant - but natural, she will not be able to do her duties for a few months. If she has children, it will be difficult for her, to do the duty of the mother as well as the Prophet . And a man is more capable of doing the duty of the Prophet , and the father… ascompared to a woman, who does the duty of a mother, as well as the Prophet. But if you mean that a Prophet is a person who is chosen, and who is pure and holy, then there areseveral examples - and the best example I can quote is, of Bibi Mariyam (may Allah bepleased with her). It is mentioned in Surah Maryam, Ch. No. 3, Verse No. 42… (Arabic)…‘And behold the angels said to Mary’.(Arabic)… ‘That Allah has chosen thee, and purified thee, and purified above the women of all nations’. If you mean‘a Prophet’ is a person who is chosen and purified, then we have the example of Bibi Mariyam (May Allahbe pleased with her), who was the mother of Jesus( May peace be upon her). We have otherexamples - If you read in Surah Tahrim, Ch. No. 66, Verse No. 11, it says that...‘As anexample for the believers, is the wife of the Pharoah’… Bibi Asiya (May Allah bepleased with her), she prayed to Allah (SWT)…‘Make for me, in nearness to Thee, aMansion in the Garden, and save me from the Pharaoh, and its evil things’ Imag-ine… she was the wife, of the most powerful person of that time…Pharaoh - and she rejects all the luxuries, and asks for Allah (SWT), in exchange…a Mansion in the Garden. According to Islam, there are 4 Prophet women, besides Bibi Mariyam and Bibi Asiya (may Allah bepleased with them) - The other the examples are of Bibi Fatema and Bibi Khatija, (May Allahbe pleased with them both). Hope that answers the question.” [ Ref : (WOMENS’ RIGHTS IN ISLAM -MODERNISING OR OUTDATED? – By Dr. Zakir Naik]

Dr Zakir Uses Only ‘If’ As His Reference To Give Fatwa That There Are 4
Prophet Women : Allahu Akbar ! Brother Zakir ! You have crossed all limitations. On the
issue of Khatme Nabuwat, you have, by means of artistic display of word-game,
opened the gate of Nabuwat for others including yourself and
shrewdly followed the footsteps of Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani. I dont think,
your answer was only an attempt to appease feminist elements. Rather it’s a
part of deep-rooted conspiracy against Islam. You
say, ,” Any person any Scholar
say anything ask of proof……….What Zakir Naik says has no value what Allah says
has value…….what I say carry no weight…..any Scholar say anything ask for
proof.” Brother what reference and
evidence have you presented in your above answer ? Have you presented any single Quranic Verse
or a single hadith in support of your claim ?
Zakir Naik’s Direct Attack On
Khatme Nabuwat : Brother
Zakir , you gave fatwa that “According to Islam, there are 4 Prophet women, besides Bibi Mariyam
and Bibi Asiya (may Allah bepleased
with them) - The other the examples are of Bibi Fatema and
Bibi Khatija, (May Allahbe pleased with them both).This is horrible. This
is dangerous. In which verse of Al Quran and in which Sahih Hadith, such aqidah of Islam is written “Mr Ahle Sahih Hadith” ? You indeed are “ Calamity upon Muslim Ummah” as your Salafi
Mentors say. “Bibi Fatema” is
a Prophet along with Bibi
Mariyam , Bibi Asiya and Bibi Khatija ?????
Firstly, you made a blunder by declaring
Bibi Mariyam and Bibi Asiya to be
Prophets. Secondly, you made a crime by declaring Bibi Khatija to
be Prophet. But you launched a direct
attack on “Risalat”, the nucleus of Islam i.e., on Khatme Nabuwat of The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam
by declaring “Bibi Fatema” to be
Prophet . How can you open the
gate of Nabuwat after the Khatimin Nabiyeen
Rasulullah sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam ? No Quran, No Hadith, only an
“if” is your evidence and you call yourself “Ahle Sahih Hadith” ? I must
appreciate your peerless skill of presenting an anti-Islamic aqidah as an
Islamic aqidah . You have constructed your entire logic on “ IF”. and very shrewdly revealed your aqidah that even after the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
wa sallam there can be Prophets. You are indeed a genius ! You used “ IF” as
your weapon to kill the iman of Muslims. Allahu Akbar! By dint of “ IF” you
don’t hesitate to begin an accursed bidah among Muslim Ummah and you yourself
always demand Quranic and Sahih-Hadith evidence from from Ahle Sunnah Wa zamaat
. Alhamdulillah! Ahle Sunnah Scholars teach genuine sunnah to the Muslims
making exhaustive research on Al quran and The Holy Hadith. You say, “If by ‘Prophets’
you mean, that a person who receives the message and who acts like a
leader to the people, then I can say for sure, that in Islam we have got no
‘Women Prophets’…………………But if you mean that
a Prophet is a person who is
chosen, and who is pure and holy, then there ares everal examples - and the
best example I can quote is, of Bibi Mariyam…………… According to
Islam, there are 4 Prophet women, besides Bibi Mariyam and
Bibi Asiya (may Allah bepleased with
them) - The other the examples are of Bibi Fatema and Bibi
Khatija, (May Allahbe pleased with them both)”. Wherefrom you have got the
licence to define nabuwat on the basis
of “IF”my dear brother?
In How Many Allahs Do You Believe “Mr. If’? : Mr. Naik ! If your entire movement is based
on “IF”, Some day some mushrik may ask
you, “ Why is there no second Allah according to Islam” ? Using ‘IF’ as your weapon would you try to appease them by saying,
“If by Allah you mean Mu'min as
Allah Almighty has called himself Mu'min in Al Quran’s Chapter No. 59, Verse
No. 23 then each and every Muslim is
Allah because Muslims too are called Mu'min in Al Quran’s Chapter No. 57, Verse
No. 12 [ Nauoozu
Billah Min Zalik] or If by Allah you
mean ‘ILAH’, then I can say for sure, that there is no second Allah but if by
Allah you mean protector, then we have thousands of Allah because Hafiz means
protector and accordingly all Hafizes of Al Quran are Allah [ Nauoozu Billah Min
Zalik]or if by Allah you mean helper
then the doctors, polices , teachers,guides all are Allah because they
all are helpers[ Nauoozu Billah Min Zalik] and all Muslims also are Allah
because Muslims have been called as wali helpers in Al Quran’s Surah Maidah,
Verse No. 55 [ Nauoozu Billah Min Zalik] or if by Allah you mean rab meaning
master then there are crores of Allah because each and everyone is rabbul bait,
rab/master of house [ Nauoozu Billah Min Zalik] or or if by Allah you mean our
mawla as Allah Almighty has called him in Chapter No. 02, Verse No. 286 then
all the Salafi mawlanas like Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad, Mawlana Abul ala Mawdudi or Mawlana Ainul Bari etc are Allah
because they are mawlanas / our leader[ Nauoozu Billah Min Zalik] or if by Allah
you mean 'Alîm then there are thousands of Allah in Islam because
scholars in Islam are called 'Alîm and Zakir Naik is one of the greatest of
these Allahs because he is “Allamatul Musleemin” (Allama, is an honorary title carried by only the very highest
scholars of Islamic thought, jurisprudence, and philosophy.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Nauoozu Billah Min Zalik]
Zakr Naik On The Footsteps
of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani: Reform!
Reform! Reform ! Whereever
the opponents of Islam plan to strike at the roots of Islam, they start
maligning the Personality of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi wa sallam and his Khatme Nabuwat in the name of reform. Brother Zakir Naik! kindly abstain from
confusing the simple-minded younger generation on Nabuwat and Khatme Nabuwat .
Follow your Guru Ahmed Deedat and
concentrate on your field Comparative Religion and don’t follow The
False Prophet Ghulam Ahmed Qadiyani . False claim to Prophethood by this liar has been the
main cause of wide spread mental chaos amongst the Ummah for the last sixty
years . Your words on
Nabuwat and Khatme Nabuwat are no less deceptive than Ghulam Ahmed Qadiyani who
too initially won the hearts of Muslims by doing debates with Christian
Missionaries like you and finally claimed Prophethood. This ambitious man
deceived Muslims by saying "I swear by the glory of God and His Majesty
that I am of the faithful, a Muslim and I believe in Allah, the High, in His
Books, and in His Messengers and in His Angels and in Life after death. And I
believe that our Prophet Muhammad the Elect of God (peace of Allah be on him
and His blessings) is the most eminent of the prophets and the Seal of
Apostles." (Hamamatul Bushra, page 6)
but at the same time, in the name of
reform , through weapons of reason,logic
and word-game , he claimed himself “Prophet”saying …. “I am the same
prophet, the KHATUM-UL-ANBIYA (Last of the Prophets). And twenty years ago God
named me Muhammad and Ahmad in Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, and declared that I am the
Holy Prophet's (pbuh) incarnation. Thus my prophethood in no way clashes with
the status of Holy Prophet pbuh as the Last of Prophets, because shadow is
inseperable from the original. Since I am Muhammad in a 'shadowy way', thus
this way the Seal of the Last of the Prophets is not broken, because the
prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh) remained with Muhammad." (Mirza Ghulam in
Ek Ghalti Ka Izala, Roohani Khazain vol.18, p.212) . You too like this false Prophet preach two
contradictory aqidahs using weapons of
reason, logic and word-game and all in the name of reform! You say, “If by ‘Prophets’
you mean, that a person who receives the message and who acts like a
leader to the people, then I can say for sure, that in Islam we have got no
‘Women Prophets’………… But if you mean that a
Prophet is a person who is chosen, and
who is pure and holy, then there ares everal examples - and the best example I
can quote is, of Bibi Mariyam…………
According to Islam, there are 4
Prophet women, besides Bibi Mariyam and Bibi Asiya (may Allah bepleased with them) - The other the examples
are of Bibi Fatema and Bibi Khatija” [Nauoozu
Billah Min Zalik] . Wherefrom you have got the
licence to define nabuwat on the basis
of “IF”my dear brother? Ya Allah !
Save the Muslim Ummah from falling victim to such reform spreading
falsehood, deception and storm of
calumnies .
Brother Zakir Naik! Muslim Ummah unanimously
believe in the absolute Finality of the Prophethood of Syedna Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam, and the Finality of Holy Quran as the Last message
from Allah to guide His creations till the day of Qiyamah. This aqidah is the cornerstone of the
whole building of Islam which plays a pivotal role in the life of Muslims. But
enemies of Islam and their paid freemasons
have been trying to create
divisions among the Muslims by distorting the teachings of Quran and by
creating sectarian literature in an
atempt to reduce the love and influence
of Holy Prophet Muhammad SAAW in our lives. Muslims will not tolerate any of
your moves to establish the aqidah that after Syedna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi
Wa sallam any Prphet came or any male or female deserves to be called Prophet.
No logic, no reason, no word-game please. If you dare to say that “….if you mean that
a Prophet is a person who is chosen, and who is pure and
holy”…….
“Bibi Fatema” is a Prophet , your
followers will definitely claim that “….if you mean
that a Prophet is a person who is chosen, and who is pure and
holy”…….
Then Zakir Naik is a Prophet because he is Allah’s choosenperson. [Nauoozu
Billah Min Zalik] Brother
Zakir Naik! “For the sake
of Almighty Allah, please stop creating divisions among Muslims and withdraw
your evil comments. To dispel all doubts
and smash objections raised by the hypocrites about the final ministry of
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) , I
present below references from Al Quran and Hadith:
1.
Allah Almighty says, “"O
people ! Muhammad has no sons among ye men, but verily,He is the Apostle of God
and the Last in the line of Prophets. And God is Aware of everything." (Surah Al Ahzab 33.40)
2.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "The
tribe of Israel was guided by prophets. When a prophet passed away, another
prophet succeeded him. But no prophet will come after me; only caliphs will
succeed me." (Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Manaqib).
3.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "My
position in relation to the prophets who came before me can be explained by the
following example:
A man erected a building and adorned this edifice with great
beauty, but he left an empty niche, in the corner where just one brick was
missing. People looked around the building and marvelled at its beauty, but
wondered why a brick was missing from that niche? I am like unto that one
missing brick and I am the last in the line of the Prophets." (Bukhari,
Kitab-ul-Manaqib).
- The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam
said: "God has bestowed upon me six favors which the former
Prophets did not enjoy:
a.
I have been endowed with the gift of pithy and perfect speech.
b.
I was granted victory owing to my awe.
c.
The spoils of war were made lawful unto me.
d.
The whole earth has been made the place of worship for me and it
has become the means of purification for me also. In other words in my
religion, offering of prayers is not confined to certain specified places of
worship. Prayers can be offered at any place over the earth. And in case water
is not available it is lawful for my people to perform ablutions with
earth(Tayammum) and to cleanse themselves with the soil if water for bathing is
scarce.
e.
I have been sent by Allah to carry His Divine message to the
whole world.
f.
And the line of prophets has come to its final end in me.
(Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
- The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam
said: "The chain of Messengers and Prophets has come to an
end. There shall be no Messenger nor Prophet after me." (Tirmidhi,
Kitab-ur-Rouya Babu Zahab-un- Nubuwwa, Musnad Ahmad, Marwiyat-Anas bin
Malik)
6.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "I
am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am the effacer and infidelity shall be erased
through me; I am the assembler. People shall be assembled on Doomsday after my
time. (In other words Doom is my only successor.) And I am the last in the
sense that no prophet shall succeed me." (Bukhari and Muslim, Kitab-ul-Fada'il, Bab:
Asmaun-Nabi; Tirmidhi, Kitab-ul- Adab, Bab: Asma-un-Nabi; Muatta', Kitab-u-Asma
in-Nabi, Al- Mustadrak Hakim, Kitab-ut-Tarikh, Bab: Asma-un-Nabi.)
7.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "God
Almighty hath sent unto the world no apostle who did not warn his people about
the appearance of Dajjal( Anti-Christ, but Dajjal did not appear in their
time). I am the last in the line of Prophets and ye are the last community of
believers. Without doubt,then, Dajjal shall appear from amongst ye". (Ibn Majah,
Kitabul-fitan, bab:Dajjal).
8.
'Abdur Rahman bin Jubair reported: "I heard
Abdullah bin 'Amr ibn-'As narrating that one day the Holy Prophet (PBUH) came
out of his house and joined our company. His manner gave us the impression as
if he were leaving us.' He said, 'I am Muhammad, the unlettered prophet of
Allah' and repeated this statement three times. Then he affirmed: "There
will be no prophet after me'." (Musnad Ahmad, Marwiyat'Abdullah bin Amr
ibn'-As.)
9.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "Allah
will send no Apostle after me, but only Mubashshirat. It was said: what is
meant by al-Mubashshirat. He said : Good vision or pious vision". (Musnad Ahmad,
Marwiyat Abu Tufail, Nasa'i, Abu Dawud) (In other words there is no possibility
of Divine revelation in future. At the most if some one receives an inspiration
from Allah he will receive it in the form of "pious dream."
10.
The Holy Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "If an Apostle were to succeed
me, it would have been 'Umar bin Khattab." (Tirmidhi,Kitab-ul-
Manaqib)
11.
The Holy Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam told Hadrat 'Ali, "You are related to
me as Aaron was related to Moses(peace be upon him). But no Apostle will come
after me." (Bukhari
and Muslim, Kitab Fada'il as-Sahaba)
12.
The Holy Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: And there will arise Thirty imposters in
my Ummah and each one of them will pronounce to the world that he is a prophet,
but I am the last in the line of the Prophets of God and no Apostle will come
after me." (Abu Dawud, Kitab-ul-Fitan)
13.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "Among
the tribe of Israel who went before you there indeed were such people who held
communion with God, even though they were not his Prophets. If ever there arose
a person from among my people who would hold communion with God, it would be
none else but 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)." (Bukhari,
Kitab-ul-Manaqib)
14.
The Holy Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said: "No Prophet will come after me
and there will, therefore, be no other community of followers of any new
prophet." (Baihaqi,Kitab-ul Rouya; Tabarani)
15.
The Holy Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi wa sallam said: "I am the last in line of the prophets of
God and my Masjid is the last Masjid (referring the holy Masjid of the
Prophet)." ) (Muslim, Kitab-ul-Hajj; Bab:Fadl-us-Salat bi Masjidi Mecca wal
Medina)
Brother Zakir Naik !
According to Arabic lexicon and the linguistic usage Khatam means
to affix seal; to close, to come to an end; and to carry something to its
ultimate end. Khatama al-'Amala is equivalent to 'Faragha min al-'Almali' which
means 'to get over with the task.' 'Khatama al-Ina' bears the meaning 'The
vessel has been closed and sealed so that nothing can go into it, nor can its
contents spill out.''Khatam-al-kitab' conveys the meaning 'The letter has been
enclosed and sealed so that it is finally secured.''Khatama-'Ala-al-Qalb' means
'The heart has been sealed so that it cannot perceive anything new nor can it
forswear what it has already imbibed.''Khitamu-Kulli-Mashrubin' implies 'the
final taste that is left in the mouth when the drink is over.'Katimatu Kulli
Shaiinn 'Aqibatuhu wa Akhiratuhu means "The end in the case of everything
denotes its doom and ultimate finish." Khatm-ul-Shaii Balagha Akhirahu
conveys the sense, "To end a thing means to carry it to its ultimate
limit."The term Khatam-i-Qur'an is used in the similar sense and the
closing verses of Qur'anic Surahs are referred to as Khawatim. Khatim-ul-Qaum
Akhirhuum means "The last man in the tribe." (Refer to
Lisan-ul-'Arab; Qamus and Aqrab-ul- Muwarid).
Brother Zakir Naik ! Your mentor Mr. Abul ala
Mawdudi writes : “For this reason all linguists and commentators agree that
Khatam-ul-Nabiyyin means 'The Last in the line of Prophets.' The word Khatam in
its dictionary meaning and linguistic usage does not refer to the post office
stamp which is affixed on the outgoing mail. Its literal meaning is the 'seal'
which is but on the envelope to secure its contents.” [ Reference : Finality Of
Prophethood by Abul Ala Mawdudi]
Ya Allah ! Save the Muslim Ummah from falling
victim to falsehood, deception and storm of calumnies. Aamin.
