In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Kind. Peace & blessings of Allah be upon His Noble Messenger Muhammad, upon his Family & Companions.
1. The Holy Qur’an; the final and absolute book of divine guidance. Through it, Allah revealed to His Beloved Messenger numerous scientific proofs and evidences 1400 years ago which science is just beginning to comprehend today. Its eloquence and complete accuracy have remained unchallengeable to this day. “Say: If mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.” [Qur’an 17:88]
2. Mi’raj; the Beloved Messenger’s ﷺ ascension to the Heavens accompanied by Angel Jibra’il.
• The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, “..al-Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me, and I set out with Gabriel. When I reached the nearest Heaven, Gabriel said to the gate-keeper of Heaven, ‘Open the gate’…” [Bukhari]
3. Splitting of the moon: challenged to prove his Prophethood by the unbelieving Quraysh, the Beloved Messenger of Allahﷺ split the moon into two halves, and the pieces were clearly separated from each other. Despite this, the kuffaar turned away in ignorance and continued to follow their desires in non-belief.
● Narrated Sayyidina Anas b. Malik: “The people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allahﷺ to show them a miracle; he therefore split the moon, the two pieces were seen on the opposite sides of Mount Hira.” [Bukhari] “The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]. But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, ‘This is (but) transient magic.” [Qur’an 54:1-2]
4. Prophecy of the Roman Empire’s victory over the Persians after facing defeat. • “The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land, and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.” [Qur’an 30:2-3]
5. The blessed saliva of the Beloved Messengerﷺ,may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, worked as a miraculous cure for ailments.
“…The Prophet ﷺ was told that Ali AlaihisSalam was suffering from eye-trouble, so he applied saliva to Ali’s AlaihisSalam eyes and invoked Allah to cure him. He at once got cured as if he had no ailment.” [Bukhari]
6. The Beloved Messenger of Allahﷺ never yawned during his entire lifetime. • It is related that the Beloved Messenger himself said, “No Prophet has ever yawned[Imam ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari]
7. The Messenger of Allahﷺ had no visible shadow, even on a bright sunny day.
• Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Abbas, the cousin of the Beloved Prophetﷺ, states, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺhad no shadow, not while standing in the sun, but the brilliance of his light (noor) surpassed the rays of the sun; nor while sitting before a burning light, but his luminous light excelled the lustre of the light.” [Imam ibn al-Jawzi’s Kitabul-Wafa] • Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti narrates, “This is also a unique feature of the Prophetﷺ that his shadow did not touch the ground, because he was light (noor), and when he used to walk in the sunshine his shadow could not be seen.” [Khasaa’is al-Kubra]
8. Allah encouraged him before the Battle of Badr with a dream of a small kuffaar army. “(And remember) when Allah showed them to you as few in your dream; if He had shown them to you as many, you would surely have been discouraged…” [Qur’an 8:44] • Hafiz ibn Kathir relates in his Tafsir: Mujahid said, “In a dream, Allah showed the Prophet ﷺthe enemy as few. The Prophet ﷺconveyed this news to his Companions and their resolve strengthened.” This demonstrates Allah’s compassion towards the believers. Allah made them see few disbelievers in their eyes, so that they would be encouraged and feel eager to meet them.
9. Victory of the Battle of Badr; 313 Muslim soldiers triumphed against approximately a thousand non-Muslim soldiers and their cavalry. The Angels were present in this battle too, aiding the believers with their unseen forces.
• “There has already been for you a Sign in the two armies that met (in combat): One was fighting in the cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah; these saw with their own eyes twice their number. But Allah does support with His aid whom He pleases. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see.” [Qur’an 3:13] • “[Remember] when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, ‘Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another.”” [Qur’an 8:9]
10. There was once a drought in Madinah, and the people requested the Messenger of Allahﷺ to pray for rain. His prayer was answered so fast that it began to rain before he descended the pulpit. [Tafsir ibn Kathir]
• Sayyidina Anas b. Malik says in a narration: “The Prophetﷺ raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah, make it rain’, thrice. I swear by Allah, there were no clouds in the sky, not even a single one. Then suddenly, a thick heavy cloud covered us, and it rained, and we never saw the sky for a week…” [Bukhari]
11. Rainfall on the eve of the battle of Badr, which resolved the issue of scarce water
supplies for drinking and purification, and firmed the ground for the Muslim camp. “And He caused rain to descend on you from heaven…” [Qur’an 8:11] • Tafsir ibn Kathir reports on this verse that Mujahid said, “Allah sent down the rain on the believers before slumber overtook them, and the rain settled the dust, made the ground firmer, made them feel at ease and their feet firmer.”
• And Ibn Ishaq narrated from Yazid bin Ruwman that Sayyidina Urwa bin Az-Zubayr said, “Allah sent rain down from the sky on a sandy valley. That rain made the area where the Messenger of Allah ﷺand his Companions camped firmer so that it did not hinder their movement. Meanwhile, the part that the Quraysh were camping on became difficult to move in.”
