A Comparison

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


Jazakum Allah khairan PUPPET for your response. Alhamdulelah, I think to the first glance, you addressed all points, just in case another silent member, who is sincerely keen on understanding would come and read. Certainly, you understand that we do cover points when they are unattended to, regardless of the aim of the poster.


Now Teh, if u really want to understand about Mohamed's prayer and peace be upon him, several miracles.


Well, although this might put me at risk with Dan (being very particular about the off topic issue), but still I will try and be brief.


When Muslims stress the Quran as the major miracle [b]granted to Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him, pls note granted to, not made by,[/b], it does not mean that Allah Didnt grant him other miracles.


Before I list a few of those miracles, i like first to elaborate on something. What is the difference between miracles granted to other prophets and Messengers and the Quran as a major miracle?


Miracles granted to Messengers prayer and peace be upon all of them, such as Mussa's stick turning into a snake, splitting the sea, and more. Eassa's (Jesus) raising the dead, healing the leprotic, forming birds from clay then blowing into it to turn into live bird by the Will of Allah, Soliman's control over jin who build for him chappels, and fulfilling other commands for him, and other similar miracles are all of an immediate effect that does not sustain beyond the generation who attended them. For example, Allah in particular, granted Jesus those deeply spiritual miracles in order to balance the mere materialism the jews turned to develop after Mussa and other Prophets who were sent to them..


Thus, the Wisdom behind stressing the Quran as a miracle, is its sustainbility, being a book of legislation, manual to Muslims, a guide to the system of Muslim life. Leave alone its language style which is incomparable. Allah revealed it to the Arabs, who at that time, were the masters of the Arabic langugage, yet they were impressed with the language which had an effect, an influence that can not be described, even on those fierce fighters to Islam. They were effected, regardless the fact that they didnt embrace Islam. Its effect on the human body is test even during our modern time. Search for this.


List of miracles (not an exhaustive list):


1. Quran.


2. The moon was split asunder.


The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon). (quran 54:1)


3. Allah Compiled the whole earth till he was able to see its easts and wests.


4. He used to lean over a tree trunk while delivering his surmon, when they built a pulpit for him, he stopped using that trunk. The trunk was heard moanig till the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him held it to stop.


5. Water sprang from between his fingers.


6. Pepples made tasbeeh (Glorifying Allah) in his palm.


7. Stones and trees gave him salam.


8. A poisoned arm of a lamb spoke to inform him about the poison.


9. A camel complained to him about his master's harsh attitude (no food and much work).


10. The companion Qatadah Bin No`man Alansary was lost his eye during the battle of Uhud, the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him took it and planted it back into it place.


11. He foretold Othman Ibn A`ffan, may Allah be pleased with him, that he will be infliced with a major crisis (in reference to him murder).


I just broughforth a number of the physical miracles. Hope I added to your info. Alhamdulelah.


I remember Wael posting an excellent piece about this particular issue, may be INsh aAllah he can search and add it later.
