A Critical study of the Attitude of the Zhikriya sect about the End of Prophethood

The esoteric sect of "Zhikriya" which started in the 10th century of Hijri in an area called "Torbat" in Baluchistan, Pakistan, is a sect whose religious beliefs have been taken from some prominent sects in the Islamic world. The followers of the Zhikriya sect have created heresies in their acts of worship and religious rituals, whose beliefs require scientific analysis and evaluation. One of the religious beliefs of this sect is the belief in the end of prophethood, in which two approaches have been reported in their religious sources. In this article, the criticism and analysis of its point of view about the end of prophethood is discussed. One of the results of the present research is that the views of the Zhikriya regarding the end of prophethood with the teachings of the Quran and Prophetic progeny are divergent. Their claim has caused a distortion in the resuscitative teachings of Islam and is in conflict with religious teachings.
