Prove That Muhammad Is A True Prophet. What Powers Did God Give Him? by Realismailakabir: 12:13am On Sep 06, 2020 |
Question:
Prove that Muhammad is a true Prophet. What powers did
God give him? Please e-mail it as soon as possible.
Fatwa:
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I
testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and
that Muhammad sallallaahu`alayhi wa sallam (may Allah
exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.
The signs that prove the prophecy of Muhammad
sallallaahu`alayhi wa sallam (may Allah exalt his mention)
are numerous. Many books have been written to enumerate
them and thoroughly discuss them. We would like to
mention some of these signs as reported by Muslim scholars
and which prove that Muhammad sallallaahu`alayhi wa
sallam (may Allah exalt his mention) was a real Prophet
including:
- First, his good biography and high morals as well as the
noble qualities that distinguished him. He was known before
becoming a Prophet as a truthful and honest person,
although the community where he lived was a society of
ignorance. This was, perhaps, the most important sign of his
prophecy. He was not known to have ever lied on people. So,
why should he lie on be half of the Lord by claiming that he
was a Prophet, if he was not a real Prophet?
- Second, the powers and triumphs Allah gave him and the
spread of the religion he preached, as well as the triumph of
this religion over all existing religions in a short period of
time. Had he been a liar, Allah would have humiliated and
destroyed him as He did with those before him who falsely
claimed Prophethood.
- Third, the miracles Allah gave him as supporting evidence
were beyond the ability of human beings and were beyond
range of natural phenomena. The moon split for him, water
gushed from his fingers, food became more abundant in his
hands, and similar phenomena were authentically reported
and happened in a way that could not be denied.
- Fourth, the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may
Allah exalt his mention ) was backed by the greatest miracle
which is the Quran. In fact, Quran was a challenge and
remains a challenge for Arabs who were known to be good
poets and eloquent speakers. Allah challenged them to write
a single Surah (chapter) that would be similar to that of
Quran, but the Arabs were unable to do so. Indeed, the
challenge still endures, none of the Arabs throughout history
- since the revelation of the Quran - was able to make
anything that was even similar to it. No doubt that the Quran
has been preserved intact until it came to us. Groups of
people memorized it including children, adults, males and
females. So generations brought the Quran to generations
until it reached us as it was revealed 14 centuries ago.
Hence, the Quran remains intact protected from distortion or
alteration. Nothing has been added to it, nor taken from it.
Quran is full of scientific facts that were verified only in
these times of scientific investigation. No doubt that
Muhammad who was illiterate would not have possessed
this knowledge 14 centuries ago. Doesn't this prove the
authenticity of the Quran and that it is the Word of the
Creator of the Universe who knows all its secrets?
- Fifth, the things from the unseen that he (the Prophet
sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allah exalt his mention))
informed us about. Some of them occurred during his life
time. Others happened later. Some of these things happened
to the Prophets, may Allah exalt their mention, who
preceded him and some are still to occur. He also informed
about the signs of The Day of Judgment, some of which had
already been seen such as widespread killings and
genocide, adultery and fornication and the consumption of
the alcohol, outnumbering of males by females and the
increased number of earthquakes, and afflictions,… etc.
- Sixth, the testimony of some of the people of the Book
that he was a true Prophet. Some of them believed in him
like 'Abdullah Ibn Salam may Allah be pleased with him who
was a Jew as well as Negus (king of Abyssinia) who was a
Christian. Some of the people of the Book certified that he
was a Prophet from Allah but refused to follow him like
Huyayy Ibn Akhtab.
The above are some of the signs that prove his Prophethood
and the authenticity of his revelations. We would like the
questioner to visit some of the Islamic centers in her area,
and hopefully, they will guide her to some useful references
in the matter.
Allah Knows best.
