The Miracles of the Prophet Muhammad

 At this point I would like to bring to the notice of the reader that the Prophet was granted many miracles by Allah (the Lord of the heavens and the earth) and some of them are as follows: —

1. The Holy Qur'an is the living miracle bestowed by Allah upon the Prophet and this, Allah's Book was revealed to him through the holy spirit (Gabriel) and today 1400 years have passed and nobody has been able to change a single letter or produce its imitation as it is said in the Qur'an (See Sura Hijr, 15:9), and the statement of the Prophet "Before me, every prophet was given a miracle and they practiced it during their life-time: i.e., Jesus used to cure the sick and make the dead alive, etc., Moses was given the stick etc., and I have been given the permanent miracle of the Qur'an till The Hour is established, so I hope that my followers will be more in number than all the other apostles' as my miracle will last till the Day of Resurrection, and it is a Glorious

Book; when anyone reads it, even if he is a pagan, etc., he is convinced that it was not written by any human being or any created thing (angels, etc.,) but it is from the Creator of the heavens and the earth."

2. The splitting of the moon: Narrated Anas that the Meccans requested Allah's Apostle to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon. See (Vol. IV: Hadith No. 831).

3. The crying of the stem of the date palm tree in the Prophet's Mosque: Narrated Ibn Umar that the Prophet used to deliver his Khutba (religious talk) while leaning against a trunk of a date-palm tree. When he had the pulpit made and used it instead, the trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand over it (to stop its crying). (See Vol. IV: Hadith No. 783).

4. The flowing of the water from among the fingers of the Allah's Apostle (See Hadith No. 779: Vol. IV).
