He also said the Messiah will come and the Mahdi will come.
But since you raised the subject, let me ask, is Prophesy (Nubuwwah) a blessing or curse? If it is a blessing why has it ceased? So the best Ummah is deprived of a blessing that God blessed an inferior Ummah (Bani Israel) with in abundance? Consider this carefully, reflect on it deeply
Qur'an partial[5:3]
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا
This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day on which it was revealed as a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favour upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied, "No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at 'Arafa."
Question: Why would a jew make a point out of this specific verse? It had a very specific implication as well, especially being the farewell Hajj and Ibn Kathir notates that unbeknownst to him that some schmucks will come precisely challenging this statement.
That besides the point qadiani viewpoint not only requires bending if not rejecting Qur'an, it fundamentally contradicts Ahadith...among them ones reported by Thawban ibn Kaidad and Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman are definitely relevant.
Prophethood is all about message:
"Indeed, We sent Nooh to his people and he said, 'O my people! Worship Allaah! You have no other ilaah (god) but Him. Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day!'" [al-A'raaf 7:59]
"Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scriptures and the Balance (justice) that mankind may keep up justice" [al-Hadeed 57:24]
"Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his own self. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)." [al-Isra' 17:15]
"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allaah after the Messengers" [al-Nisa' 4:165]
But the message is delivered
"Similarly (to complete My Blessings on you), We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad) of your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the Qur’aan) and purifying you, and teaching you the Book (the Qur’aan) and the Hikmah, and teaching you that which you used not to know”
[al-Baqarah 2:151]
“And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allaah as a jest, but remember Allaah’s Favours on you (i.e. Islam), and that which He has sent down to you of the Book (i.e. the Qur’aan) and Al-Hikmah whereby He instructs you. And fear Allaah, and know that Allaah is All-Aware of everything”
[al-Baqarah 2:231]
Message is sealed!
"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”
[al-Maa’idah 5:3]
"Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’aan) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)”
[al-Hijr 15:9]
Prophet(A.S.) obey...
"And (remember) when Allaah took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying: ‘Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah, and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad) confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him.’ Allaah said: ‘Do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?’ They said: ‘We agree.’ He said: ‘Then bear witness; and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)’”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:81]
“And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad) Rooh (a revelation, and a mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur’aan) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path. The path of Allaah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Verily, all matters at the end go to Allaah (for decision)”
[al-Shoora 42:52-53]
“By the star when it goes down (or vanishes).
Your companion (Muhammad) has neither gone astray nor has erred. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed”
[al-Najm 53:1-4]
Say (O Muhammad): ‘If Allaah had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have stayed amongst you a life time before this. Have you then no sense?’”
[Yoonus 10:15, 16]
This is what you seek ...
“Do they seek other than the religion of Allaah, while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly. And to Him shall they all be returned”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:82]
