Intro
Taken from the islam Ahmadiyya reddit forum via a posting by a semi-anonymous user, David Moyes. Technically, Khatim is also used in the “Quraishi” dialect, see 42:24 and 36:65. In panic mode, Razi called “Khatim” in the Quran as a metaphoric expression.

A while ago I created a scan that shows Mirza Mahmood Ahmad, the second successor and the son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad had once admitted that خاتِم (Khatim) means ‘the last one’ but either out of ignorance or refusal he did not address that it was used in the same Quranic verse (33:40) he felt only mentioned Khatam (خاتَم).

With that said, I was just informed today that if you look up this book now on alislam.org, you’ll find they have updated the translation of the book AND REMOVED the wording which exposed Mirza Mahmood’s ignorance of the different accepted readings of this Quranic verse.

The OLD PDF can be found on the web.archive with 470 PDF pages here: [Invitation to Ahmadiyyat

The latest one can be viewed on the current website but has also been archived and only shows 398 PDF pages: [Invitation to Ahmadiyyat

About 70 PDF pages have been removed from the original translation including when Mirza Mahmood commented on Quran 33:40.

Here’s a side-by-side of the two scans – showing clearly (including the page number) being changed: A Cover-Up in an Invitation to Ahmadiyyat: Khatim would mean ‘the last person’ or ‘the last one’.
