The Prophetic Inheritance

On prophetic
inheritance, Imam Ahmad al-Faruqi ibn ‘Abd al-Ahad as-Sirhindi (q.s.)
said, “It is mentioned, in the hadits of the Prophet (s.a.w.),
‘Scholars are the inheritors of the prophets.’
The knowledge of prophets is of two kinds: knowledge of laws, and
knowledge of secrets. The scholar cannot
be called an inheritor if he does not inherit both types of knowledge. If he takes only one type of knowledge, he is
incomplete. Thus, the real inheritors
are the ones who take the knowledge of the laws and the knowledge of the
secrets, and only the saints have truly received and protected this
inheritance.”
