Using Figurative interpretations (Tawil) to bypass the belief of Sealing of Prophethood is the like rejecting the most authentic sources of Islam
The belief in the termination of Prophethood is a very basic article of faith for the Muslims. Bypassing it in any manner so as to create room for any false claimant to Prophethood and claiming to be "Zilli”, “Buroozi” or “prophet-in-part” after Prophet Muhammad’s (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) arrival is the rejection of the most authentic sources ( Nusus e qataiea) recurring (Mutawatir) Traditions (Ahadith) and is apostasy and defection from Islam.
When Prophet Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ) appointed somebody as His Deputy, He also negated the possibility of another prophet so that no liar or Dajjal should lay claim to Prophethood.
