The Miracles of Muhammad (UWBP)

 

 

In His Name, be He glorified!

And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise.(17:44)

 

 

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it supreme over all religion: and sufficient is God as a Witness. * Muhammad is the Messenger of God; and those who are with him are strong against unbelievers,  [but] compassionate  among  each other.  You will see them bow and prostrate themselves [in prayer], seeking grace from God and [His] good pleasure. On their faces are their marks, [being] the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Torah; and their similitude in the Gospel is like a seed which send forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, [filling] the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the unbelievers  with rage at them. God has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great reward.(48:28-9)

 

[Since the Nineteenth and Thirty-First Words concerning the messengership  of Muhammad  (Upon whom be blessings  and peace) prove it with decisive evidence, we assign the verification of that side of the subject to those Words. As a supplement to them we will merely show here, in nineteen ‘Signs,’ some of the flashes of that great truth.]

 

 

FIRST SIGN

 

The   Possessor   and   Master   of   the   universe   surely   does   everything   with knowledge, disposes every affair with wisdom, directs everything all-seeingly, treats everything all-knowingly, and arranges everything willing the instances of wisdom, purposes, and benefits that are apparent in them. Since, then, the One who creates knows, surely the One who knows will speak. Since He will speak, surely He will speak to those who possess consciousness and thought, and those who will understand His speech. Since He will speak to those who possess thought, surely he will speak to mankind, whose nature and awareness are the most comprehensive of all conscious beings.
