Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

Was there any miracle performed by Hazoor-e-Akram (SAW)?

i don’t know a lot about religion, I remember reading in Quran that there was no miracle given to Hazoor (i can’t remember the reference). i could be wrong.

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

he did perform many miracles....

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

Well, there were things he(SAW) did with Allah's permission/grant, which people will say was miraculous.

A lot of things are written in hadith, and I can recall atleast one in Qur'an.

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

  1. The event of Shab-e-Mairaaj is the biggest miracle.
  2. When Prophet Muhammad :saw: pointed his finger Moon and that split in to two halves :slight_smile:

You need to read the Seera’t of Prophet Muhammad :saw:

Prophet Muhammad’s :saw: character is itself a miracle, non-Muslims entered to Islam after seeing his character :slight_smile:

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

The Prophet (saw) did perform many miracles by the leave of Allah (swt) but best one is the Quran that was revealed to him.

It's sublime message

It's clarity

Unsurpassed language

It's infallibility

Accuracy of the facts narrated

many many more

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

Miracles are dozen a dime even today just go to jhimalayas and talk to the ascetics there and if not then read the book "Autobiography of a Yogi"

Re: Miracles By Prophet Mohamed.

I’ve read this book you mentioned. It is not at all similar to things mentioned in hadith, Qur’an, etc.

Examples of the Prophet’s miracles related to his effective increase in food

  • As related by Anas ibn Malik, Abu Talha, on seeing God’s Messenger hungry, invited him to a meal. The Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, came with a crowd of people. Abu Talha had only one loaf of rye bread at home. Umm Sulaym, Abu Talha’s wife, spread some butter on it. The Messenger prayed for abundance, and since there was not enough space for all the people, they ate of the bread ten by ten and left satisfied. They were about seventy to eighty people.1
  • As another example, ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr relates that they, one hundred and thirty Companions, were in the company of God’s Messenger during an expedition. The Messenger asked them whether they had something to eat. One of them had about one or two sacks of flour . Dough was prepared to make bread and a sheep was bought from a polytheist who happened to pass by with his flock. They roasted the liver of the sheep, which the Messenger divided among those present, giving each a piece of it, and put aside the share of those who were not present there then. They cooked the meat in two bowls and everyone ate of it. After they finished eating all satisfied, the meat was still as if no one had eaten of it at all.2
    There are many other examples of this kind of miracle. They were all transmitted through various—sometimes as many as sixteen—channels. Most of them took place in the presence of large assemblies and were narrated by many persons of truth and good repute.
    *Examples of the Prophet’s miracles concerning water *

  • The Companions were left without water in a place called Zarwa. They were going to do wudu’ (ritual ablution) but they could not find enough water. God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, ordered them to bring a bowl of water. He dipped his hands into the bowl and water began to run from his fingers like a fountain. Anas ibn Malik says that on that day they were three hundred people.3

                                  Anas relates this incident on behalf of                                        three hundred persons. Is it at all conceivable                                        that those three hundred people would not                                        have confirmed him, if they thought him                                        to be truthful, or otherwise contradicted                                        him?
    
  • As a second example, during the campaign of Hudaybiya, the Companions complained to God’s Messenger about the lack of water. The Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, took an arrow out of his arrowbag and ordered them to put it in the well of Samad. When they did that, the water of the well began to gush. During the campaign, all of the Companions drank from it and did wudu’ with it.4
    There are many examples of the Prophet’s miracles concerning water. They were related by numerous Companions and transmitted through various reliable channels.
    *Examples of the miracles of the healing of ill and wounded people *

                               Authentic books of Tradition, including primarily                                      Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih al-Muslim, report:
    
  • During the Battle of Khaybar, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, asked where ‘Ali was. ‘He is suffering from sore eyes’, the Companions answered. He sent for him. ‘Ali came and the Messenger applied his healing saliva to his eyes. At the same moment the pain ceased and ‘Ali’s eyes became better than before. 5

  • ‘Uthman ibn Hunayf relates:

                                  A blind man came to God’s Messenger and                                        requested him to pray to God to recover                                        his eyes. The Messenger said: “If you desire,                                        I’ll not pray—being blind may be better                                        for your afterlife—or I’ll pray.” The man                                        chose to be relieved of blindness and the                                        Messenger told him: “Go and do an ablution.                                        Then pray two rak‘as and say: ‘O God! Surely                                        my appeal is to You and I turn toward You                                        through the Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet                                        of mercy: O Muhammad, surely I turn toward                                        God through you, that He uncover my sight.                                        O God, make him my intercessor.’” The man                                        did what the Messenger told him and his                                        sight was restored.6
    

    There are many more examples concerning this kind of miracle God’s Messenger worked, all of which are recorded in books of Tradition.
    *The testimony of animals to Muhammad’s Prophethood *

                               The animal kingdom recognized God’s Messenger,                                      upon him be peace and blessings, and became                                      the means for him to work miracles. Although                                      there are many examples, we will mention here                                      only a few that have become well-known and                                      agreed on by exacting authorities.
    
  • During the Hijra, when God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, took shelter from the pursuit of unbelievers in the cave of Thawr, two pigeons stood guard at the entrance like two sentries, and a spider, like a doorkeeper, covered the entrance of the cave with a thick web. As Ubayy ibn Khalaf, one of the chieftains of the Quraysh, was examining the cave, his friends suggested that they should enter, but he answered: ‘There is a web here, which seems to have been spun before the birth of Muhammad.’ The others added: ‘Would those pigeons, standing there, still be there if someone were in the cave?’7

  • As another example, Jabir relates:

                                  I was with God’s Messenger during a military                                        campaign. When my camel became exhausted                                        and left behind, God’s Messenger prodded                                        it slightly. This made the camel so fast                                        that I had to pull on the reins to make                                        it slower so that I could listen to the                                        Messenger, but was unable to [slow it down].8
    
  • Anas ibn Malik reports:

                                  After the conquest of Khaybar, a Jewish                                        woman offered God’s Messenger a roasted                                        sheep. God’s Messenger, upon him be peace                                        and blessings, ate a piece of it but, according                                        to the narration of Abu Dawud, stopped eating                                        and said: This sheep says that it is poisonous.                                        Then he turned to the woman and asked her                                        why she offered him a poisonous sheep. When                                        the woman replied that she wanted to kill                                        him, the Messenger responded: God will not                                        let you attack and annoy me.9
    
  • ‘A’isha reports:

                                  We had in our house a kind of pigeon. When                                        God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        was at home, it would stay quiet, but as                                        soon as he left home, it would continually                                        pace to and fro.10
    
  • Anas ibn Malik relates:

                                  God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        was the comeliest and the most generous                                        and courageous of people. One night the                                        people of Madina heard some voices and set                                        out to investigate in fear. On their way,                                        they saw a man coming towards them, who                                        appeared to be God’s Messenger, upon him                                        be peace and blessings. He said to them:                                        There is nothing to be distressed about.                                        He had mounted Abu Talha’s horse and himself                                        investigated the matter before anybody else.                                        He turned to Abu Talha and said: I found                                        your horse fast and comfortable. Whereas,                                        that horse had been a very slow one. After                                        that night, no other horse could race against                                        it. 11
    

    *Examples of the Prophet’s miracles concerning inanimate objects *

  • Jabir ibn Samura reports:

                                  God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        once said: “Prior to my Prophethood, a rock                                        in Makka used to offer me greetings. I still                                        recognize it.”12
    
  • ‘Abullah ibn Mas‘ud reports:

                                  We could hear food glorifying God while                                        we were eating with God’s Messenger, upon                                        him be peace and blessings.13
    
  • Traditionists unanimously report from Anas, Abu Hurayra, ‘Uthman and Sa‘id ibn Zayd, who said:

                                  God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        climbed up Mount Uhud, accompanied by Abu                                        Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman. The Mountain, either                                        in awe of them or because of its joy, trembled.                                        God’s Messenger ordered it: Be still, O                                        Uhud, for on you there is a Prophet, a truthful                                        one, and two martyrs.14
    
                                  In this saying, the Messenger predicted                                        the martyrdom of ‘Umar and ‘Uthman.
    
  • It is established through authentic narrations from ‘Ali, Jabir and ‘A‘isha Siddiqa that rocks and mountains would say to God’s Messenger, ‘Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God!’ ‘Ali says: ’Whenever we went for a walk in the suburbs of Makka in the early times of his Prophethood, trees and rocks we encountered would say, ‘Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God!’15
    *The Prophet’s protection as a miracle *

  • As related through various channels, during the military campaign of Ghatfan and Anmar, a courageous chieftain named Ghowras unexpectedly appeared at the side of God’s Messenger, who was lying under a tree. Ghowras unsheathed his sword and asked God’s Messenger, ‘Who will save you from me now?’ God will, the Messenger replied. “God!” Then he prayed: “O God, suffice me against him in any way You will.”16

                                  At that moment, Ghowras was knocked down                                        and his sword slipped from his hand. God’s                                        Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        took the sword and asked him: Now, who will                                        save you from me?
    
                                  Ghowras began to tremble and entreated God’s                                        Messenger to spare his life. ‘You are a                                        noble, forgiving one; only forgiveness is                                        expected of you,’ he pleaded. God’s Messenger                                        forgave him, and when Ghowras returned to                                        his tribe, he said to them: ‘I have just                                        come from the best of mankind.’
    
  • Abu Hurayra relates:

                                  Abu Jahl once asked those near him: ‘Does                                        Muhammad still rub his face against earth                                        *?’
    
                                  ‘Yes, he does’, they answered.
    
                                  Abu Jahl added:
    
                                  ‘By Lat and ‘Uzza, if I see him doing that                                        again, I will tread on his neck or bury                                        his face with soil.’
    
                                  A short while later God’s Messenger came                                        and set out to pray. When he was in prostration,                                        Abu Jahl approached him but suddenly turned                                        back in fear and amazement, trying to protect                                        himself with his hands. When asked why he                                        had done so, he answered: ‘Truly, between                                        him and me is a trench filled with fire,                                        and something horrible and some wings.’
    
                                  God’s Messenger commented on the event:                                        “If he had approached me, the angels would                                        have torn him to pieces.”17
    
                                  God promised to guard him against people:
    
                                  O Messenger! Make known whatever is revealed                                        unto you from your Lord, for if you do it                                        not, you will not have conveyed His Message.                                        God will protect you from people. Surely,                                        God guides not the unbelieving folk. (al-Ma’ida,                                        5.67)***The acceptance of the Prophet’s prayers                                    **
    
  • The authorities of Hadith (Tradition) including, notably, Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, unanimously report that whenever God’s Messenger prayed for rain, his prayer was immediately accepted by God. There were even times when the rain unexpectedly began before he had lowered his hands while on the pulpit. As mentioned in books of Tradition and the Prophet’s biography, when his army ran out of water, clouds would appear to give them water. Even in his childhood, his grandfather ‘Abd al-Muttalib would go with him to pray for rain, and rain would come out of God’s love for him. This fact became famous through a poem of ‘Abd al-Muttalib’s. After the Prophet’s death, once ‘Umar took ‘Abbas as a means to pray for rain, saying, ‘O God, this is the uncle of Your beloved Prophet. Give us rain for his sake.’ Thereafter it rained.18

  • As was reported by Anas ibn Malik, while one Friday God’s Messenger was giving a sermon, a man came into the mosque and said to him: ‘O Messenger of God! There is drought. Please pray to God to send us rain.’ The Messenger prayed and it rained until the next Friday.

                                  The rain continued for one week. The next                                        Friday, while God’s Messenger was on the                                        pulpit again giving sermon, a man stood                                        up and said: ‘O Messenger of God! Please                                        pray to God to avert rain from us.’ The                                        Messenger prayed: “O God! Send the rain                                        onto the places around us, not onto us.”                                        Anas, the reporter of the event, says: “By                                        God, I saw the clouds scatter and rain fall                                        onto other places, the people of Madina                                        being not under rain.”19
    
  • ‘Adbullah ibn ‘Umar relates:

                                  When the number of the Companions was about                                        forty, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace                                        and blessings, prayed: “O God! Give strength                                        to Islam with which of those two, namely                                        ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab and ‘Amr ibn al-Hisham,                                        is more pleasing to You.” The next morning,                                        ‘Umar came to the Messenger and accepted                                        Islam.20
    
  • ‘Adbullah ibn ‘Abbas reports:

                                  God’s Messenger was in the toilet when once                                        I carried water to where he would do wudu’.                                        When he came out, he asked who had put the                                        water there. ‘I did,’ I answered. Whereupon                                        he prayed: “O God, make him profoundly knowledgeable                                        in religion and teach him the meaning of                                        the Qur’an.” 21
    
                                  It is because of this prayer of the Messenger                                        for Ibn ‘Abbas that Ibn ‘Abbas would later                                        be called with the titles of the ‘Profound                                        Scholar of the Umma’ and the ‘Interpreter                                        of the Qur’an’. When he was still a young                                        man, ‘Umar included him in his consultative                                        assembly which consisted of the high-ranking                                        scholars and elders of the Companions.
    
  • Anas ibn Malik relates:

                                  My mother took me to God’s Messenger and                                        said:
    
                                  – O Messenger of God! This is my son Anas.                                        Let him serve you. Please pray for him.
    
                                  The Messenger prayed: “O God! Give abundance                                        to his wealth and offspring.” 22
    
                                  Anas remarked in his old age, swearing by                                        God: “You see the abundance of my wealth,                                        and the children and grand-children I have                                        number about one hundred.”
    
  • Abu Hurayra once complained to God’s Messenger about forgetfulness. The Messenger told him to spread out a piece of cloth on the ground. Then he made some movements as if he were filling his hands with some invisible things and emptying them out on the piece of cloth. After repeating this three or four times, he told Abu Hurayra to pick it up. Through the mysterious effect of these actions of the Messenger, Abu Hurayra, as he himself later stated swearing by God, never forgot anything again. This is also among the well-known events related to the Companions.23

  • ‘Umar reports:

                                  We were sitting with God’s Messenger, upon                                        him be peace and blessings, when a man appeared                                        beside us. He had dark black hair and was                                        wearing a white robe. There were no signs                                        of traveling upon him. He sat before the                                        Messenger and, touching his knees to the                                        Messenger’s, asked him about faith, Islam,                                        perfection of virtue (ihsan) and the Last                                        Day. After the interview, the man left and                                        disappeared. God’s Messenger, upon him be                                        peace and blessings, turned to me and asked                                        who that man was. ‘God and His Messenger                                        know better’, I answered. The Messenger                                        concluded: “He was Gabriel. He came to teach                                        you your religion.”24
    
  • Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas relates:

                                  At the Battle of Uhud, I saw two men dressed in white at each side of God’s                                        Messenger, fighting for his sake. I had                                        never seen them before, nor have I seen                                        them since. (Sa‘d meant that they were two                                        archangels, Gabriel and Michael.)25
    
  • Rifa‘a ibn Rafi‘ reports:

                                  Gabriel asked God’s Messenger what was their                                        opinion of the Companions who participated                                        in the Battle of Badr. The Messenger answered                                        like this: “We consider them among the most                                        virtuous of Muslims.” Gabriel responded:                                        “So do we; we consider the angels who were                                        present there among the most virtuous of                                        angels.”26

    *The appearance of invisible objects and realms to the Prophet *

  • ‘A’isha Siddiqa reports:

                                  One day the sun was eclipsed. God’s Messenger,                                        upon him be peace and blessings, performed                                        the prayer of eclipse and then explained:
    
  • Surely, the sun and the moon are two of God’s signs. When you witness an eclipse, pray until it ends. By God, in this place where I have performed the prayer I have seen everything promised to me. When you saw me move forward during the prayer, I did that to take a cluster of grapes which appeared to me from Paradise. Again, by God, when you saw me move backward, I did that because I saw Hell roaring with its parts piling one upon another.28

  • ‘Adbullah ibn ‘Abbas relates:

                                  God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        passed by two graves and said: “Heed what                                        I will tell you: Those lying in those graves                                        are suffering torments. They are suffering                                        torments because of two grave sins. One                                        of them used to backbite and slander others                                        everywhere. The other was not careful [about                                        guarding himself] against urine stains.”29**The testimony of trees to Muhammad’s Prophethood                                    **
    
  • Jabir ibn ‘Adbullah reports:

                                  We were walking with God’s Messenger, upon                                        him be peace and blessings. We went down                                        a wide valley. The Messenger searched for                                        a place to relieve himself. When he saw                                        that there was not a single covered place,                                        he went to the two trees he had caught sight                                        of by the valley. He pulled one of them                                        by one of its branches, next to the other                                        tree. The tree was like an obedient camel                                        being pulled by its reins. He addressed                                        them: Join together over me by God’s leave!                                        The trees joined together and formed a screen.                                        30

                                  God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,                                        used to lean against a pole called the ‘date-palm                                        trunk’ when delivering a sermon. Later a                                        pulpit was built and when the Prophet started                                        giving his sermons from it, the pole moaned                                        because of its separation from him. The                                        Messenger climbed down and stroked it. The                                        pole stopped moaning.31
    
  • ‘Abu Sa’id al-Khudri relates:

                                  God’s Messenger gave Qatada ibn Nu‘man a                                        stick on a dark night, saying: “This stick                                        will light up your surroundings as far as                                        seven meters. When you get home, you will                                        see a black shadow. Without giving it respite                                        to tell you anything, strike it with this                                        stick.
