Summary

Imam Watheq discusses the miracles (Mu'jizat) of the Quran and compares them with miracles of other prophets. He explains that prophets are given the highest level of miracles from Allah to supersede the accomplishments of their time periods. The speaker provides examples: Prophet Moses was given the staff that turned into a serpent to overcome the magicians of his era, and Prophet Jesus was given miracles of healing the blind and raising the dead to surpass the medical knowledge of his time. The central focus is on Prophet Muhammad's miracle being the Quran itself - a book revealed to an illiterate man that not only contained eloquent speech surpassing the Arab linguistic excellence of that era, but also contained scientific facts about the rotation of the sun and other details unknown at the time of revelation.

[Silence]

In the name of God the most merciful the beneficent I greet you all all with the greetings of Peace the sh started by saying that all the Messengers of God who were sent they all came with a certain miracle for the.

[Silence]

People.

[Silence]

Be there are two categories of the Miracles prophets they are the ones who receive the highest kind of miracle that God through them performs that's called MOA in Islamic terms MOA and that belongs only for the prophets and then the she mentioned the other category it is called k k also is a the type of Miracle however is not as the miracle of the prophets it is a different Miracle which is in a lower level however it is performed by God through these Saints or righteous people that God chooses so not anymore prophets because prophets they belong to a higher state but we're talking about other righteous people Saints who are close to God and he enables them to perform these Miracles so every so people they can.

[Silence]

Witness.

[Silence]

M in order to let the other speakers behind me talk I'm going to wrap it up quick and I'm going to talk about the miracle that God sent down to Prophet Moses and this miracle was sent down to him in order to Prevail over the other Miracle well over the other Magics that were being displayed back in that time so at the time of Moses there were many people who perform magic and in order for this magic to be downgraded and the miracle of God to be superior God had to send Moses with a miracle that was going to supersede all of these other M Magics and that's where he received the stick and with that stick he was able to show it in front of the people and that became a a snake that was.

[Silence]

Alive subh and also at the time of Jesus peace and blessings of God be upon him at that time it was very popular and very well spread the practice of medicine so you had so many doctors who were able to cure different kind of diseases therefore it was necessary for God to send down a messenger a prophet who was going to supersede with this mirle of God all of those all of that Evolution that was taking place back in those days so he gave him a special special Miracles with him he equipped him with special Miracles so he can be above all of the achievement of that century.

[Silence]

And also at his time another miracle was at the time of Jesus peace be upon him the sending down of the table full of food the supper that the Christians refer to where you have the apostles sitting down with him that was another major miracle that was performed right in front of them ay.

[Silence]

110.

[Silence]

For I'm going to read in English this verse from there is a Surah in the Quran there is a chapter in the Quran revealed specifically only for this supper only for this occasion when the table came down full of food and fruits verse number 110 from Al in the Arabic language which translates to when God will say oh Jesus Son of Mary remember my favor on you and on your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit you spoke to the people in the cradle and when an old age and and when you were in an old age when also when I Tau when I went of old age and when I taught you the book and the wisdom and the taat which is the Bible the the Old Testament and the New Testament in and when you determined out of clay a think the form of a bird by my permission then you breathed into it and it became a bird by my permission and you healed the blinds and the LEP by my permission and when you brought forth the dead by my permission and when I withheld the children of Israel from you when you came to them with clear arguments but those who disbelieve among them said this is nothing but clear enchantment.

[Silence]

For.

[Silence]

And also when we go back to the Arabic term of the word Messiah that comes even in English from the Arabic or the Aramaic word which is Messi Messiah Messi it means the one who wipes the one who wipes because in reality he used to wipe those people on their eyes their faces when they were blind so God can return back the eyesight to them the one who wipes and also he also wiped when he resurrected when he gave life back to the dead he also wiped that dead person and God insert life back to that body to that dead body so it is a beautiful connection between his between his his real message and his name between his real actions as a prophet as a me messenger of God and his true name there's a true Connection in between and he was told that the time ended give me few brother as for the miracle of our blessed Prophet Muhammad his Miracle is the.

[Silence]

Quran now when we talk about the prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him he was a man who was illiterate he did not know how to read and right and most of the people when they are in that state of being illiterate they would feel a sense of shyness and also kind of uncomfortable in front of the people because the others would know how to read and write but these people would not so there is stepping back a little bit but when it comes to the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him it was the opposite because even though he was an illiterate he did not know how to read and write but because of what he was receiving was superseding everything else at that.

[Silence]

Time.

[Silence]

So at that time when Prophet appeared in in in this Society this Society you have to understand that it was a society who was who had a lot of Professionals in putting the words together being able to have a beautiful speech they would wrap up big sentences long sentences maybe in two three words they had these gifts that other nations they did not have so they were qualified they have these specialities in beautiful speech in or oratory and they were compared to the other people they were so different so Prophet came during this time when this was going on in that.

[Silence]

Society.

[Silence]

Foran.

[Silence]

Allah subhah beside the fact that Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him to speak to the people in a way of rhyme it's it's in a poetic way beside that the Quran also had so many miracles included that tonight the speakers are going to talk about these Miracles they come during a time when nobody would even expect to know these details for example the details about the rotation of the sun people thought before that the sun was always stable does not rotate does not move or anything that until lately but now the scientist discovered that the Sun Also does a certain rotation and these are all facts that are mentioned in the Quran therefore it's not only a book that was revealed to the people back in those days to defeat or to challenge their beautiful way of speaking but also it came as a book full of Miracles convincing the people back in those days and continue to convince the people nowadays because and it will continue in the future to convince people and to challenge people also and to make people believe in this book because simply it is the book of the almighty God revealed to his messenger thank you so much this topic is very very long I can't with the 15 or 20 inah thank you siram alikum just want to interrupt a minute here we got pizza that's going to get cold so here's what we're going to do in the interest of time we're going to pass the pizza us around with the small plates so grab what you want and then continue let's continue with the process please forgive us a little bit of a you know timing or constraint here but we want to leave some time for the question and answer session at the back end so that's why I think we want to just move it along is that okay can we go ahead and just pass the P that way oh.
