THE ETERNAL MIRACLE OF THE PROPHET (S.A) OF ISLAM
the holy qur'an is the eternal miracle
of the
prophet (sa) of islam. By
listening to its verses and
reflecting on them, knowledgeable
people realize that
these verses are not the words
of Muhammad (sa)
but are actually the words of Allah.Ay listening and
reflecting on the qur'an's verses,
such people realize
that the qur'an is indeed the word
of Allah, and that
the prophet (sa) of islam
had a special relationship
with him which enabled the prophet (sa) to bring to
mankind such a beautiful and meaningful
book.Allah tells us in the qur'an:
"if you have any doubt about this
qur'an which i
have sent down upon my servant,
and you think this
qur'an to be the word of a normal
human being and
not that of Allah, then bring a
surah (chapter) like the
surahs of the our'an (2:23)."
in the same way, Allah tells us
elsewhere in the
qur'an:"say: if all created beings were
to gather together
and help one another to produce
a book like the
qur'an, they would never be able
to do it (17:88)'.
"Truly, no created being can produce
words similar
to those of the holy qur'an, for
all created beings, no
matter how learned and capable
they may be, are still
the creation of Allah, and cannot
do the works that
only Allah can do.For this reason, no one has been
able to imitate the
qur'a!n in the past and present
and no one will be able
to do it in the future.Therefore, since we have this great
miracle of the
last of Allah's messengers, it
is only right for us to
appreciate it, value it, recite
it, learn its sublime
teachings, accept its guidance
and use it to make
a programme for our lives, so as
to live in freedom and bliss
in this world and in the hereafter.
