3. Wahy Nubuwwat versus
Wahy Wilayat – 1
-
Wahy Nubuwwat is revelation exclusive to prophets.
A man cannot be a prophet unless he receives wahy nubuwwat.
-
Wahy Nubuwwat is closed after Holy Prophet Muhammad:
not even one word of it can come. So no rasul (messenger)
or nabi (prophet) can come after him. (Refs)

1. “According to the explanation of the
Holy Quran, rasul is he who receives the commands and tenets
of the religion through Gabriel. But a seal has been put upon wahy nubuwwat since thirteen
hundred years ago. Will this seal then break?”
— Izala Auham, 1891, p. 534; RK 3: 387. [TOP]
2. “After the Khatam an-nabiyyin, the Holy Quran
does not allow the coming of any rasul, whether he is a new
one or a former one, because a rasul receives knowledge of
religion through the agency of Gabriel, and the
coming of Gabriel as bringing wahy risalat has been closed.
It is self-contradictory that a messenger (rasul) come into
the world, but not be accompanied by wahy risalat.”
— Izala Auham, 1891, p. 761; RK 3: 511. [TOP]
3. “It is obvious that if it is
supposed that the angel Gabriel can now descend with even one sentence
of wahy nubuwwat and remain silent thereafter, this would
still contradict the finality of prophethood, for when the
seal of finality is breached and wahy risalat again starts
to descend, it matters not whether the amount is little or much.
Every wise person can understand that if God is true to His promise,
and the promise given in the Khatam an-nabiyyin verse, which
has been explicitly mentioned in the Hadith, that now, after the
death of the Prophet of God, peace and the blessings of God be upon
him, Gabriel has been forbidden forever from bringing wahy nubuwwat
— if all these things are true and correct, then no person at all
can come as a messenger (rasul) after our Prophet, peace
be upon him.”
— Izala Auham, 1891, p. 577; RK 3: 411-412. [TOP]
4. “If we allow the appearance of a prophet after our Holy
Prophet, we would have to allow the opening of the door of wahy
nubuwwat after its closure. And this is wrong,
as is not hidden from the Muslims. How can a prophet come
after our Holy Prophet, when revelation has been cut off after his
death, and God has ended the prophets with him?”
— Hamamat al-Bushra, 1894, p. 20; RK 7: 200. [TOP]
