A Gem from Ahmad (AS) !e Sealing Prophecy By: Laila Ali Alhamadolillah, All Praise is Due to Allah swt Who Makes What He Wills Possible and His Will is Just.  In the past week, another translated material from Ahmed al Hassan a.s has graced the websites, "The Sealing Prophecy" and it has been the hot topic amongst Ansars.  Subhanallah, how the love of Imam a.s is apparent among Ansars when new work of his is translated and released.  Almost as though we are the thirsty, parched land which yearns for rain, and his knowledge is like a drop of rain.  Once the first drop of rain hits the earth, we forget all of our thirst...

But whoever disbelieves in them due to envy and ego shall fall into the abyss of hell, as had happened to Balam bin Baora. He knew some of the news of the heavens and learned from Allah about the message of Moses, yet he still disbelieved in Moses’ message and made uncertainties an excuse for his fall which put him in the abyss of hell.  And his previous obedience and worship were of no use to him. Just like it had not been of use to Iblis (Allah curse him) before, when he disbelieved in Adam the sent prophet, and he became one of the ugliest creat
