Quran ke verse 33:40 ke samajh ka mudda, jo akhirat mein nabuwwat par imaan ka hai, Ahmadiyya Community aur iske istehsal ko lekar musalman jamat ke andar aam bahas ka markaz hai.
Surah Al-Ahzab (33:40) kehte hain: “Muhammad tumhare mardon mein se kisi ka baap nahi hai, lekin woh Allah ke Rasool aur anbiya mein akhri hai. Aur Allah har cheez ki khabar rkhne wala hai.”
Aam Sunni aur Shia Islam ke nazariye ke mutabiq, yeh verse nabuwwat ki akhirat ko tasdiq karti hai Muhammad (peace be upon him) ke sath. Yeh maana jata hai ke woh anbiya ka sealer hai, aur koi anbiya uske baad nahi aayenge. Yeh samajh us aqeede par mabni hai ke Muhammad (peace be upon him) ne Islam ka paighaam pura aur mukammal kar diya, aur us din ke baad koi aur anbiya ya rasool nahi aayege is deen ko pura karne ke liye.
Lekin, Ahmadiyya Community is verse ka doosra tawil rakhti hai. Ahmadis Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ke nabuwwat mein imaan rakhte hain, jo Ahmadiyya movement ke bunyad hain, jise woh Muhammad (peace be upon him) ki taraf se basharat die gaye maasiha aur mahdi ke tor par tasawwur karte hain. Unka yeh tawil hai ke verse 33:40 mein “anbiya ka akhri” hone ka maana hai akhri qanoon lane wale nabuwwat, jabke unka kehna hai ke non-law-bearing prophets Muhammad (peace be upon him) ke baad bhi aa sakte hain.
Yeh tawil ka farq Ahmadiyya Community aur aam Sunni aur Shia Muslims ke darmiyan bada tanaza aur ikhtilaf ka sabab bana hua hai. Jabke Ahmadis apne aapko musalman aur Muhammad (peace be upon him) ke asaareen maante hain, woh aksar aam Islamic authorities ke zariye musalmanon ki manzoori nahi paate hain, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ke nabuwwat par imaan rakhne ki wajah se. Quran mein Allah ne bayan kiya hai ke tamam anbiya Ibrahim ki aulad se aaye hain, aur Al-Imran mein, woh Arab the, jo ke Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ke India mein paida hone se alag hai.
Is tarah, jabke Quran ke verse 33:40 ne nabuwwat ki akhirat par bahas ka markaz banaya hai, Ahmadiyya Community ka is verse ki tawil mainstream Islam se mukhtalif hai, jo Ahmadiyya Community aur doosre musalman firqon ke darmiyan aam ilmi aur itiqadi ikhtilafat ko barhane ka kirdar ada karta hai
