- Rami Hijazi wrote in an earlier article in support of Shakil's and
- against mine, that the correct word in the Quran is KHATIM (END),
- rather than KHATAM (RING OR SEAL), when trying to prove that
- Muhammad (on whom be peace and blessings of God) was the last
- Prophet of God and that no Prophet would come after him.
- I request you to take another look at the Quran -- the word IS
- KHATAM, the way I wrote it and not KHATIM, they way he suggests.
- I know of only one instance when in a recently published text,
- some non-Ahmadi published the Quran with "Khatim" to prove their
- point against Ahmadis, but since the safeguarding of the text of
- the Holy Quran is a duty taken by God upon himself, the book was
- removed from the shelves, and now the only Qurans available in
- the market are the ones with KHATAM in them. It is interesting
- that now, even if the non-Ahmadis try to change the Arabic text
- of the Holy Quran, they cannot do so, given God's decree. The
- present text of the Holy Quran goes in favor of the Ahmadiyya
- viewpoint (or is it that they have been able to interpret it
- with more effort and hardwork, to make their arguments sound
- more convincing?)
