Let's all learn to respect other peoples faith and religion.
I'd prefer you ask questions about rather than throw disrespectful assertions.
There are also many mythical stories in the Bible too that's outside of reason or science.
Quite sure Judaism also have theirs along with other religions.

You guys also come to biblical posts to make very disrespectful comment, but here you cry the most.

Are you talking about the men of the azut that rode the profit all night?

I'm pretty sure there's a name for people who talk to stones and trees and "hear" those stones and trees talk back to them.

I used to encounter many such people when I did my NYSC in the psychiatric ward at JUTH

Did prophet Muhammed have a miracle about resurrecting the dead?

Answer 1:

The miracles of our Prophet (pbuh) regarding the resurrection of the dead:

“The first one is this: Hasan al-Basri, an important and loyal student of Imam ‘Ali and the greatest authority among the scholars of the external and esoteric sciences in the time of the generation subsequent to the Companions, related: “A man came weeping to God’s Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace). He said: ‘I had a little girl; she drowned in such-and-such stream nearby. I left her there.’ He pitied the man and said they would go there together. They went, and the Messenger (UWBP) called to the dead girl, saying her name. At once the dead girl replied: ‘I am present and answer your call gladly.’ He asked her: ‘Do you want to return to your father and mother?’ She replied: ‘No, I have found something better here!’” (Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Khafaji, Sharhush-Shifa, 3:106)

The second one: Important authorities like Imam Bayhaqi and Imam b. ‘Adiyy relate from Anas b. Malik: Anas said: “An elderly woman had a single son who suddenly died. The righteous woman was very grieved and prayed: ‘O God, I left my home and migrated here only to obtain Your pleasure and to pay allegiance to God’s Noble Messenger (UWBP) and to serve him. For the sake of Your Messenger, return my son to me, who was the only person to look after me.’” Anas said: “The dead man rose up and came and ate with us.” (Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6:292)

In the following lines from the celebrated poem Qasidat al-Burda, Imam Busiri refers to this extraordinary event:

“Were his wonders to correspond to his virtue in greatness / Mere mention of his name would have animated decayed bones.”

Third incident: Scholars like Imam Bayhaqi relate from ‘Abdullah b. ‘Ubaydullah al-Ansari: ‘Abdullah said: “I was present when Thabit b. Qays b. Shammas fell as a martyr in the Battle of Yamama and was buried. As he was being put in his grave, a voice suddenly came from him, saying: ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of God, Abu Bakr is the Veracious Siddiq, ‘Umar, the martyr, and ‘Uthman, pious and merciful.’1 We uncovered him and looked: he was dead and lifeless, yet he was foretelling ‘Umar’s martyrdom even before he had succeeded to the Caliphate. (see Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Aliyyul-Qari, Sharhush-Shifa, 1:649; Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6:157-158)

The fourth incident: Imam Tabarani, and Abu Nu’aym in his Dala’il al-Nubuwwa, relate from Nu’man b. Bashir: “Zayd b. Kharija suddenly dropped down dead in the marketplace. We took his body to his house. That evening between sunset and the night prayer, while the women were weeping all around him, he exclaimed: ‘Silence! Silence!’ Then, saying: ‘Muhammad is God’s Messenger! Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God!’, he spoke most eloquently for a while. We looked: he was dead, without life. (Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 8:291 (with various chains of narrators); al-Haythami, Majma’uz-Zawaid, 5:179-180, with two different chains of narrators)

Thus, if lifeless corpses affirm his prophethood and the living do not, for sure they are more dead than the dead and more lifeless than corpses (see Said Nursi, Mektubat, On Dokuzuncu Mektub)

Answer 2:

First Incident:

The opinion of Aliyyul-Qari regarding the issue is as follows:

“The real narrator of that narration by Hasan al-Basri is unknown. But I (Qari) saw a similar one in Bayhaqi’s Dalail. It is as follows: The Prophet invited a man to Islam. The man said: “I will not believe in you unless you resurrect my daughter.” The Prophet said, “Show me her grave”. He showed it. The Prophet (went to the grave of that girl and) called to the dead girl, saying her name. At once, the dead girl replied: ‘I am present and answer your call gladly.’ He asked her: ‘Do you want to return to your father and mother?’ She replied: “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I don’t want because I see that the neighborhood/closeness/protection of Allah is better than that of my parents. I see that the hereafter is better for me than this world,” (see Aliyyul-Qari, Sharhush-Shifa, Beirut, 1421, 1/650-651)

- The same miraculous event is mentioned in other sources. (see al-Qastalani, al-Mawahibul-Ladunniyya, Cairo, nd., 2/296)

On this occasion, Aliyyul-Qari, also mentions that the Prophet brought together the bones of the sheep he ate with his Companions, in Jabir’s house, and brought the sheep back to life by Allah’s leave. (see ibid)

Second Incident

- Ibn Kathir includes the narrations that came through three chains of narrators regarding the issue. (al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6/171, 291, 323)

- This incident is included in Ibn Abid-Dunya’s work called “Man Asha Badal-Mawt / Those Who Lived After Death” (Beirut, 1413, 1/12) with two full chain of narrators - one reported from Anas and the other from another narrator. The above scholars trusted him since they included in their works.

- Bayhaqi includes three narrations with chain of narrators - all of which are reported from Anas. (see Bayhaqi’s Dalail an-Nubuwwa, 6/50, 51,52)

We could not come across anyone who corrected this narration and we could not come across anyone who criticized it.

Third incident:

Reporting from Bayhaqi (Dalail, 6/58), Ibn Kathir states that there are sound narrations about those who spoke after death. (see Ibn Kathir, Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6/174-175)

In some of these sources, it is written that this incident took place in the Battle of Yamama, and some in Jamal or Siffin. As a matter of fact, Bayhaqi includes two different narrations showing those two places. (ibid)

Fourth incident:

Bayhaqi states that the narration he made regarding the issue was “sound”. And he includes some other narrations that support it. (see Dalail, 6/55-56)

- Bukhari briefly confirmed this event and included it in his history by saying, “Zayd b. Kharija is one of those who died during the caliphate of Uthman and spoke after death.” (at-Tarikhul-Kabir, 3/383)

May Almighty Allah makes it easier for us for the love of Mohammad Rasullulah!
Ameen Thummah Ameen.

Everything na always narration. People knitting fables together. How's this different from Arabian nights tales?

You see it, but denied. Thinking that you are so wise, then arrogant and call it magic or lies

Why do you guys think that anybody that make negative comment about Islam must be a Christian. Most of these guys here making these comment are Athiest. They do worst in Christian Post.

You clearly misunderstood me,I wasn't particular about any belief,faith or religion.
Do you even realise that being an Atheist is also a belief?
But that doesn't make them less of a human being.
Best you can do is to preach to them for those that can be convinced.
The point here is, we need tolerance amongst one another outside our beliefs.

It's no stranger than some of the miracles in the Old Testament though. Joshua stopped the sun and Elisha stopped rain.

Stopping the sun is not strange. It's called solstice
Stopping rain is not strange either. It's called drought

No human has ever nor can ever "stop the sun". . . .

And Kukutente23 . . . You know very well that what Joshua is alleged to have done is not the same as any solstice.

The unbelieving satans will mock just like they mocked when he was alive. We can’t do anything about their fate. Let us pray for their repentance. May Allah deliver them from satan. They will believe that Jesus woke up the dead or turn water into wine without asking foolish questions.

We would be talking of a Summer Solstice (longest day of the year) and that would hardly stretch to justify the description given in Joshua, where it is said that the sun stopped for the length of a whole day.

Secondly, if you say it was a summer solstice then it was no miracle. It's like a white man knowing an Eclipse is going to happen and then pretending to some ignorant natives somewhere that he blocked the sun or moon.

You need to understand the bible before you attempt to critique it.
The Jews do not use a 24hr time. Day as we know it today is actually two days a far as Jews are concerned. Jews count the day as from dawn to dusk. The rest is night
You need to also know that the bible explains the source or origins of what we see as naturally occurring phenomenon. The rainbow is a miracle in the Bible brought about by God to make a covenant
Earthquake was first recorded at the battle of Jericho
Volcanic eruption first occurred in Mount Sinai
These are all tributaries of the story of creation.
Hope you get the gist now

Alfaab:
To sum up, we can say,

1.The statements of the companions who are the representatives of honesty and justice that this event took place,

2.The agreement of many tafsir scholars that this incident was the reason why the verse, “the moon is cleft asunder” [31] was sent down, [32]

3.The narrations of those hadith scholars who report from reliable forces that prove this incident, [33]

4.The news by all of the saints that can discover unknown things and be inspired about them that this incident took place,

5.The confirmation of the incident by various kalam imams, scholars and experts who usually have very different ideas,

6.The belief of the ummah of Muhammad who never agree on something wrong that this incident took place,

prove very clearly that the moon was split.



Why has a trace of splitting on the moon not been found up to now though science has developed so much?
The bruises or wounds on our body heal after a while without leaving any traces; the cracks that appear on the earth disappear in time without leaving any traces; similarly, it is quite sensible that the power that created the moon can eliminate the cleft that He made as a miracle.

On the other hand, as the late Muhammad Hamidullah, the great Islamic scholar points out, there is a trace of a cleft on the surface of the moon from the top to the bottom in the middle of the moon. This cleft is about a mile (a thousand and six hundred meters) wide; the astronomers called it “Hadley Rille”. The research about that cleft done by Apollo-15 crew was reported in the newspapers then. The picture of the cleft is shown below. [35] The video of the cleft(s) recorded by Apollo-15 crew can be watched in the following web address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXZXrt0n2M

Hadley Rille is more or less like a gorge or crater not a sign of a split. In the first place, it does not extend the full circumference of the moon which is what would happen if the moon were truly split into two. It's depth does not also reach the inner layer of the moon which is also what one will expect if the moon split into two

Alfaab:
There were lots of miracles that happened relating to Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
There was the splitting of the moon.
The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a significant event in Islam, attributed to the prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, the moon was split into two halves as a sign for the disbelievers. This event is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2). The event is interpreted as a sign of God's power and a confirmation of Muhammad's prophethood.

Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2) states, "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split [in two]".

Many hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) elaborate on this event, describing how the Prophet pointed to the moon and it split into two visible halves. Some accounts specify that the split was observed on the mountain of Abu Qubays.

The splitting of the moon is understood as a sign or miracle, intended to demonstrate the truth of Muhammad's prophethood to those who doubted him.

I am confused:
Who is correct between your Islamic Scholars and Allah?


If Allah says he gave no miracles to Mohammed, where did you get this?

SHM!!

An Explanation about the splitting of the Moon
We want to answer the questions that may come to the mind about the splitting of the moon. Our question is this “Did the miracle of the splitting of the moon occur? Why do the historical records not mention about the splitting of the moon? Despite the advancement of science nowadays, why is there no any trace of the splitting on the moon? If the event of the splitting had occurred, then the trace of this should have been on its surface.” We are going to answer the first part of this two-part optioned question with five points and after that we will give the answer to the second question.



Did the miracle of the splitting of the moon occur? Why do the historical records not mention about the splitting of the moon?
The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a miracle shown to some of the polytheists who denied the Apostle of God in order to prove the authenticity of his cause to them with the permission of God. We will try to explain why it is not recorded in history books by items:

1. The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a miracle which is narrated in all books of the Islamic history and sirah sources; besides it is a miracle which is mentioned in the first verses of the surah of al-Qamar of the Qur’an (28). None of the stubborn polytheists who witnessed this miracle along with deniers of the Qur’an denied this but tried to reject it by calling a “Magic!..” (29) No information that this event did not exist in history is given. If this miracle had not occurred, polytheists who did not disregard using even a small event against Islam for denigration would have certainly denied this event which is narrated by history and the Qur’an. Their failure of denying shows that there is no doubt about the occurring of this event.

2. Great scholars like Taftazani said,

“The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a mutawatir event just like the water flowing down from his fingers, the dry wooden stud that the Prophet leaned against while reciting sermons in the mosque crying due to leaving the Prophet and the whole congregation hearing it. [30] That is, it was reported by such a big congregation that it is impossible for them to agree to lie about something. We are sure that a comet called Halley was seen from the world and recorded by historians a thousand years ago because people transmitted that information through centuries; that is, it is mutawatir; we are sure that there is a country called Sri Lanka only by hearing its name though we have not seen it; similarly, the splitting of the moon is mutawatir.

It is stupidity to doubt or to suspect such a certain issue. It is not something impossible. The splitting of the moon is possible like the breakup of a mountain due to a volcanic eruption.

3. Miracles are shown to persuade people who do not believe in a prophet. If they had forced unbelievers to believe, it would have been contrary to the mystery of testing. Therefore, if the moon had remained in two parts for such a long time as to make it possible for everybody to see after being split, it would have caused everybody to believe and the mystery of testing would have been eliminated. Or, it would have been recorded as an ordinary celestial incident. Therefore, the miracle of the splitting of the moon was shown at night all of a sudden to the polytheists and companions who were present there.

4. The following question can come to the mind: “Why was the incident of the splitting of the moon not mentioned in the history of other nations?” This event took place at night. It was daytime in the other part of the world; therefore, it is normal that it was not seen in the other part. Besides, it is normal that it is not mentioned in the history of the Europeans because they were famous for ignorance and wildness. Fog and cloudy weather might have prevented it from being seen in some places. If such an event is seen by some individuals; they will not believe their eyes and cannot make other people believe it; therefore, it is not recorded in history books.

You are asking me to prove it didn't happen? What type of nonsenseee is this??
