THE FINALITY OF PROPHETHOOD
by S. Abul A'La Maududi
FOREWORD
Of all the conspiracies hatched against Islam in modern times,
the most dangerous is a false claim to Prophethood made in the
beginning of this century. This claim has been the main cause
of wide spread mental chaos amongst the Ummah for the last
sixty years.
Like all other schisms, the root cause of this mischief is
that the Muslims are generally ignorant of their religion. Had
they been truly imbued with its knowledge and developed a
clear understanding of the article of faith relating to the
finality of Prophethood, it would have been well-high
impossible for any false claimant to Prophethood to take root
and thrive among the people of Islam after the last ministry
of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him).
At this juncture the most perfect and effective remedy for
eradicating this evil is to educate the maximum number of
people in the best possible manner about true faith in the
finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him)
and stressing the importance and value of this article of
faith in the religion of Islam.
It is also imperative that all doubts and skeptical notions
about the final ministry of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) should be dispelled through reason and logic. This
booklet has been prepared to serve this very purpose. Readers
who find it useful should take a step further and extend their
full co-operation in the propagation of its contents. This
booklet ought to reach all literate people and they having
studied it themselves should read it out to the non-literate.
It is hoped that a study of this booklet will not only
immunize people who have not been contaminated with this
malady but would also make the truth manifest to the
right-minded persons among those who have received some of its
germs. However, those who have fallen victim to falsehood and
are impervious to all reason--for them, hope and salvation
lies only with Allah.
