Dr. Zakir Naik’s Attack On Khatme Nabuwat On Footsteps Of Gulam Ahmed Qadiani

  Author : Maulana Muhammad A K Azad [Abu Arif Al Alawi]







                 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).
  1. 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)
 
  1. 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.
