Ahmedis and prophet

Ahmadis give a spin to the concept khatm-i-nabiyeen. Contrary to the popular meaning, ie mohammed being chronologically last in the line of prophets, they say “khatm” means “perfection” not “last”, thus while Muhammad is the best prophet, there is scope for others after him. - ST
