Khatamul Anbiya According to Ahmadiyya in Indonesia: A History of Interpretation [diss.]

Dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Sahiron Syamsuddin, Prof. Dr. Machasin, and Dr. Al-Makin This dissertation addressing the phrase "khatamul anbiya" in Q.33:40 investigates the phrase or the word "khatam" back to communities before Islam came into being, researches its usage among the Sunni people and the Shi'a people, and discusses its meaning among the group of the Ahmadiyya, both the Ahmadiyya Qadian which is presented in Indonesia in the form of the Jamaah Ahmadiyya Indonesia (the JAI; the Jamaah of Ahmadiyya Indonesia), and the Ahmadiyya Lahore which is presented in the country in the form of the Gerakan Ahmadiyya Indonesia (the GAI; the Gerakan Ahmadiyya Indonesia). By doing so, I have found that the phrase or the word "khatam" is a historical product, identity marker and ideology for each group.
