It is the month of the year again where we celebrate our beloved prophet's birthday by remembering him from all aspects. Be it his biography, his Sunnah, his contributions or his sacrifices, his Akhlaq and Adab, we take the opportunity to refresh and educate ourself and people around us on our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Here is a summary of the Miracles of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
1. Miracle of the moon splitting
When the unbelievers challenged the Prophet to perform a miracle. He pointed towards the moon and by the will of Allah, it split into two.
‘That the Meccan people requested Allah’s Messenger s.a.w. to show them a miracle, and so he showed them the splitting of the moon.’ [Sahih al-Bukhari]
After some time of staying in that state, it eventually converged back to its original state. Although the disbelievers saw this event take place right in front of them as clear as crystal they still disbelieved calling the Prophet a magician.
2. Miracle of Isra and Miraj
This miracle refers to the night journey Muhammad s.a.w. made with Jibril. He went from Mecca to Jerusalem. From there he ascended up to the heavens to hold a communion with Allah s.w.t. By the time he returned to Mecca it was still night time.
3. Miracle of the tree that cried
The Prophet s.a.w would rest against a dried trunk and would deliver his sermons from there. When the Prophet’s companions finally built him a pulpit to give the Friday sermon from, he heard a sound that resembled the crying of a baby camel. He went down from the pulpit and made his way to the tree to embrace it.
‘The Prophet s.a.w used to stand by a stem of a date-palm tree (while delivering a sermon). When the pulpit was placed for him we heard that stem crying like a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet s.a.w got down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it.’ [Sahih al-Bukhari]
4. Miracle of water that flowed from his hands
“The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet s.a.w. and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, ‘What is wrong with you?’ They replied, ‘We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.’ So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution
(from it).” I asked Jabir, “How many were you?” he replied, “Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]
5. Miracle of the wedding dinner
“The Messenger of Allah got married and consummated the marriage with his wife.” He said: “My mother Umm Sulaim made some Hais, and I brought it to the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘My mother sends you greetings of Salam, and says to you: ‘This is a little from us.” He said: ‘Put it down.’ Then he said: ‘Go and call so-and-so, and so-and-so, and whoever you meet,’ and he named some men. So I called those whom he named and those whom I met.” I said to Anas: “How many were they?” He said: “About
three hundred. Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Let them sit around the dish of food in groups of ten, one after the other, and let each person eat from what is closest to him.’ They ate until they were full, then one group went out and another group came in. He said to me: ‘O Anas, clear it away.’ So I cleared it away, and I do not know whether there was more when I cleared it away, or when I put it down.” [ Sunan an-Nasa’i]
6. Quran is the biggest miracle
The miracle of the Holy Quran can be proven from multiple perspectives from its historical precision, its linguistic perfection to the many prophecies it accurately foretold. It is a book that was revealed to mankind through the Prophet s.a.w. that will remain unchanged until the end of time.
Say, “If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.” [Quran 17:88]
