Chapter (67)
The true miracles are signs of Prophethood
Dear readers during last section we were discussed the background & timeline when Hazrat Umar (RA) accepted Islam. In between we want to discuss in short about those who didn’t believe in miracles. They tried to prove their argument from this verse of Quran, in which Almighty Allah said that those who believed in this way if we show them miracles, they will not turn toward Islam. From here some of the false & fake complainant got a chance to open this door & finds the chance to make a fake claim of Prophethood. According to Holy Quran every Prophet (PBUH) got the specific power of miracle from Almighty Allah such as Hazrat Musa (PBUH) was bestowed with miraculous stick, Hazrat Isa (Jesus) (PBUH) was given with power for healing lepers, & giving life to the dead by Almighty Allah. First of all those who rejected with the miracles of Prophets (Peace be Upon them) were in fact going against the first agreement of “La Raibafi” of Holy Quran & this goes against the concept of righteous path as discussed in Holy Quran. As Holy Quran is stating the different Prophets (Peace be upon them) has been awarded with the power of miracles, how come it has been possible that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the last messenger of Almighty Allah was not given with power of miracles. Even in the holy Quran, the incident of splitting of moon has been discussed. But we don’t know how these people misinterpret this verse of Holy Quran. In fact this verses came up with notion that Almighty Allah knows the about the concealed intention of everyone so it was stated that such people even after seeing all the signs of Prophethood & divine messages will not revert to Islam. Like if you had read the details of the incident of smoke (Ad-dukhan), the followers of Abu Sufiyan & he himself didn’t accepted Islam after the relief from the famine & they accepted the Islam much later on the day of the conquest of Makkah. Even though these folks has promised that if we will the relief from this tough famine we will accept Islam. The same bunch of people next time asked that if the mountains of Safa & Marwa will turned in Gold by your supplications & miracle, we will accept your faith. Now question came that what was the problem on these instances to show the miracle. But the miracles are not part of any game or fun. Every Prophets (Peace be Upon them) showed miracles on the will of Almighty Allah. This is upon the will & orders of Almighty Allah. The timing of the miracles has been decided by Almighty Allah. This is how the miracles has been shown by the Prophets (Peace be Upon them) on the decided time. It’s on the orders of Almighty Allah. It is only Almighty Allah that knows everything that would happen on this planet. This is the biggest difference between those who display magic & the miracles of Prophets (Peace be Upon them). In fact, the miracles has been shown by the Prophets (Peace be Upon them) but its real origin is from the will of Almighty Allah. That’s why Prophets (Peace be Upon them) didn’t showed miracles all the time but the magicians used to pomp their shows & magic all the time. The example of Prophet Moses (PBUH) is in front of us. The Holy Quran is clearly narrating all his miracles in details. We can find how many times, he showed his miracles.
