The Prophets and Messengers that came before us, were sent to guide humanity to the true religion of
Allah. They all had the same job which is to teach people how to worship Allah and lead a righteous life.
They taught this through exemplifying true sincerity and honesty in every action they did so much so
that even their enemies considered them as honest and trustworthy people. These traits that Allah has
instilled in them are very important as they serve as a backbone to their claims about the unseen. Allah
also attributed miracles to them to remove any doubts that these men were not sent by Allah. Many of
these miracles were explicitly mentioned in the Quran which means that as Muslims we must confirm
that these events did in fact take place. Here are major miracles of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺwas no exception, he performed miracles that cannot be possible for any
other human being to perform without the help of Allah. He was given many miracles throughout his
life. This article we will explore six miracles of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺthat you may not have
known:
When the unbelievers challenged the Prophet to perform a miracle. He pointed towards the moon and
by the will of Allah, it split into two.
“‘That the Meccan people requested Allah’s Messenger ﷺto show them a miracle, and so he showed
them the splitting of the moon.’”
Sahih al-Bukhari
After some time of staying in that state, it eventually converged back to its original state. Although the
disbelievers saw this event take place right in front of them as clear as crystal they still disbelieved
calling the Prophet a magician.
This miracle refers to the night journey Muhammad made with the angel Gabriel. He went from Mecca
to Jerusalem. From there he ascended up to the heavens to hold a communion with Allah. By the time
he returned to Mecca it was still night time.
The Prophet ﷺwould rest against a dried trunk and would deliver his sermons from there. When the
Prophet’s companions finally built him a pulpit to give the Friday sermon from, he heard a sound that
resembled the crying of a baby camel. He went down from the pulpit and made his way to the tree to
embrace it.
“The Prophet ﷺused to stand by a stem of a date-palm tree (while delivering a sermon). When the
pulpit was placed for him we heard that stem crying like a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet ﷺgot
down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it.”
Sahih al-Bukhari
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), the people became very thirsty. After completing the ablution, the
people had rushed towards the Prophet ﷺ. He asked what was the matter with them. The replied that
they had no water for ablution or drinking except a small pot of water which clearly wasn’t enough for
them. So he then placed his hand into the pot and water started to flow from his fingers like a spring.
Everyone drank and performed ablution that day.
“The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some water
was in front of the Prophet ( )ﷺand when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him.
He asked, ‘What is wrong with you?’ They replied, ‘We have no water either for performing ablution or
for drinking except what is present in front of you.’ So he placed his hand in that pot and the water
started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution (from it).” I asked
Jabir, “How many were you?” he replied, “Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have
been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred.”
Sahih al-Bukhari
When the Prophet ﷺconsummated his marriage to Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her)
Anas bin Malik’s mother Umm Sulaim made them ‘Hais’ (a mixture of pure Madinah dates) only enough
for the Prophet ﷺand his wife. When the prophet ﷺreceived the dish from Anas bin Malik, He told
him to invite so many companions that the narration mentioned about 300 companions were invited
that day. He fed all of his guests until they were full. Once they were done the Prophet ﷺtold Anas bin
Malik to take the dish away. As he took the dish away he couldn’t tell whether the dish was the same
when he delivered it or increased in its capacity.
“Anas was asked: “How many were they?” He said: “About three hundred. Then the Messenger of Allah
said: ‘Let them sit around the dish of food in groups of ten, one after the other, and let each person eat
from what is closest to him.’ They ate until they were full, then one group went out and another group
came in. He said to me: ‘O Anas, clear it away.’ So I cleared it away, and I do not know whether there
was more when I cleared it away, or when I put it down.”
Sunan an-Nasa’i
Although the miracles listed above are extraordinary, none stack up to the greatest miracle of the
Prophet ﷺ, The Holy Quran. No Muslim can disagree that the final revelation from the final Messenger
ﷺis the undisputed greatest of his miracles. The miracle of the Holy Quran can be proven from
multiple perspectives from its historical precision, its linguistic perfection to the many prophecies it
accurately foretold. It is a book that was revealed to mankind through the Prophet ﷺthat will remain
unchanged until the end of time.
Above all, the Quran presents a challenge to mankind to produce the likeness of it. A challenge that has
lasted over 14 centuries uncontested. That is why the Holy Quran is the greatest miracle of the Prophet
ﷺ.
Say, “If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not
produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.”
Quran 17:88
May Allah ﷻallow us to follow in the blessed footsteps of the Prophet ﷺand emulate his teachings.
