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).
