MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq, has said that the belief in the Finality of Prophethood (Khatm-e-Nubuwwat SAW) is the foundation of Islam, and an essential pillar of faith.
The last Prophet and Messenger
In his message on the Day of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat, the Prime Minister said that Allah Almighty sent Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as the last Prophet and Messenger, and that any claim of prophethood after him is false and misleading.
He noted that the Legislative Assembly had the honour of passing a resolution affirming this belief, and that under his government, September 7 was officially observed to highlight its importance.
He warned that the Muslim Ummah continues to face ideological attacks aimed at weakening its faith.
Under the given circumstances, he said, the foremost responsibility is to foster unity and safeguard present and future generations from misleading ideas.
Reiterating his government’s resolve, the Prime Minister said that Azad Jammu and Kashmir will take every possible step for the protection and defence of the belief in the Finality of Prophethood (SAW).
He also called on the Muslim world to unite in confronting any forces that seek to undermine this fundamental doctrine.
