hazrat moulana qassim nanowti (ra) is reported of have saying that khatumun nabeeyin doesnt mean the final prophet but means the greatest prophet. is this true
Answer:
Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is indeed the greatest prophet. However, the word ‘Khatam’ means ‘seal’.
Khaatamun Nabiyyeen means the seal of the Prophets.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
