The Prophet Muhammadﷺ, the Mercy to the Whole World

The Prophet Muhammad: The Messenger of the Lord

He was a Messenger of the Lord of the Universe

Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ most extraordinary distinction was his role as Allah's chosen Messenger. He walked among people as one of them—sharing their joys, participating in their daily lives, laughing with children, and engaging in marketplace transactions. Yet this same man who bargained in the markets also ascended beyond the seventh heaven, communicating directly with the Creator of the universe at a distance of two bow-lengths. This remarkable duality defined his prophethood: thoroughly human in his interactions, yet divinely connected in ways no other could claim.

Throughout his twenty-three years of prophethood, from his divine appointment at age forty until his passing, he maintained unwavering clarity about his identity. He never sought divinity for himself, never claimed to be God or a divine incarnation. Instead, he consistently and humbly declared: "I am the Messenger of Allah, a Prophet ﷺ, and His humble servant." His mission was pure in its simplicity—to deliver the divine guidance and laws ordained by the Creator of the heavens and earth. Among the hundred thousand prophets Allah sent to guide humanity, Muhammad ﷺ was chosen to be the final messenger, the seal of prophethood.

The Creator of the universe, the Sovereign Master who sustains all existence with perfect wisdom, chose to speak only to the most noble souls—those selected to guide humanity from darkness to light. To Muhammad ﷺ, He entrusted His final message. This choice reflected the Prophet's ﷺ extraordinary character, a purity of spirit acknowledged even by his staunchest opponents. His legacy endures with remarkable vitality—nearly fifteen centuries later, more than a quarter of humanity follows his teachings, finding in his example the perfect balance of human excellence and divine guidance.

Allah, the Sovereign and Master of the universe, the Creator who governs and sustains all with perfect wisdom and knowledge, speaks only to the most noble of human beings—those chosen to guide the lost. And to Muhammad, peace be upon him, He entrusted His final message. This was a man whose character, pure and virtuous, was acknowledged not only by his friends but also by his fiercest enemies. Even today, nearly fifteen centuries later, nearly a quarter of humanity continues to follow him, drawn to his light, his teachings, and his unparalleled example.

The most compelling proof of his Prophethood lies in the life he lived—sixty-three years marked by unparalleled integrity and grace. When the Prophet ﷺ, peace be upon him, asked, "Have I not lived among you for forty years?" even his most ardent opponents were silenced. How could they dispute the truth of his message when his character had been known to them for so long? He had lived among them, untouched by the vices and corruption of his society. His character was untainted, his actions consistently just and merciful, and his conduct exemplary in every aspect. In a world rife with chaos, he remained a beacon of virtue.

Yet the true miracle of his life extends beyond personal virtue. In merely two decades, he achieved what seemed impossible: the complete transformation of an entire civilization. From a land fractured by tribal warfare and moral darkness, he cultivated a society illuminated by divine guidance, unity, and peace. This rapid metamorphosis—political, social, and spiritual—stands as an extraordinary testament to his prophetic mission. The scope and speed of this change defy ordinary human capability, pointing to the divine hand guiding his work.

The endurance of his legacy offers further proof of his divine appointment. Fifteen centuries later, nearly a quarter of humanity follows his teachings, drawn to the eternal light of his example. Five times daily, believers worldwide renew their connection to him in prayer, seeking blessings upon the one chosen by the Lord of the Worlds to guide humanity. His influence flows undiminished through time, a living stream of guidance from the Creator who selected him as the final messenger—the one entrusted with illuminating the path to divine truth for all generations to come.

When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ declared his prophethood, the Creator of the Universe manifested extraordinary signs that transcended the natural order—not as mere spectacles, but as profound testimonies to the truth of his divine mission. These miracles emerged as living proofs, woven seamlessly into the fabric of daily life, offering undeniable evidence to those who questioned either the existence of the Creator or the authenticity of His Messenger's claim.

The miracles that accompanied his blessed presence defied all natural laws. Water flowed abundantly from his hands, quenching the thirst of thousands. A modest portion of food, barely enough for a few, satisfied multitudes with plenty remaining. The moon itself split at his gesture, marking the heavens with an unmistakable sign of his prophethood. Even the clouds responded to his presence, gathering at his supplication to bring rain and offering their shade during his travels.

These weren't isolated occurrences but a continuous stream of divine signs that testified to his unique status as Allah's final Messenger. His prophethood stood distinct and supreme, surpassing all who came before him. He brought forth a Shari'a that would remain unaltered until the Day of Judgment, a message that addressed both humanity and jinn. In him converged the essence of all previous prophetic miracles, yet his mission transcended them all, establishing him as the most conclusive evidence of divine unity and the path to eternal happiness.

The Creator seemed to declare through these signs: "Behold My chosen Messenger, through whom I manifest these proofs. Each miracle testifies to his truth, each sign confirms his mission. In him, I have placed the culmination of all prophetic guidance, making his message the final, complete testament to My divine unity and mercy."

PThe Evidences- The Quran: The greatest miracle brought forth by the Prophet Muhammadﷺ was undoubtedly the Qur'an. It is not merely a book, but the eternal word of Allah, the Creator of the universe, conveyed through the angel Jibril. The Qur'an is a divine revelation that encapsulates the essence of guidance for humanity, an unparalleled miracle that continues to speak across generations. In the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Musa (Moses, upon whom be peace), magic was widespread, and his miracles—such as his staff turning into a serpent and parting the Red Sea—were in direct response to the sorcery of his time. Similarly, in the era of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Isa (Jesus, upon whom be peace), medicine was a dominant discipline, and his miracles, like healing the blind and curing the leper, reflected this need for divine intervention in matters of health. However, in the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Arabian Peninsula was marked by a different set of cultural preoccupations. Four fields were particularly prevalent: The Master Rhetoricians Bow In a society where eloquence reigned supreme, the Quran's divine eloquence humbled even the most accomplished speakers. These masters of persuasion and rhetoric encountered in its verses a linguistic perfection that transcended human capability. They stood in awe before its inimitable style, acknowledging that no mortal speech could match its sublime expression. The Poets Fall Silent: The Quran's arrival dealt a profound blow to Arabia's celebrated poets, whose words had long shaped public opinion and cultural values. Its unparalleled literary beauty rendered even their finest works pale in comparison. So complete was its supremacy that the legendary Seven Hanging Poems—revered as the pinnacle of Arabic poetry—were removed from the Ka'ba's walls, their once-celebrated verses dimmed by the Quran's divine radiance. The Soothsayers Lose Their Power:The revelation brought an end to the era of soothsayers and magicians, who had claimed exclusive access to unseen knowledge. The Quran's arrival stripped away their supernatural pretenses, severing their connection to the jinn who had been their source of information. Many found their supposed powers vanishing, their predictions failing, as divine truth replaced human deception. The Scholars Find True Knowledge: For those devoted to understanding the cosmos and human existence, the Quran opened new horizons of knowledge. Scholars who had been trapped in a maze of superstition and conjecture discovered in its verses profound truths about the universe. Its revelations about creation, natural phenomena, and human nature far surpassed contemporary understanding, offering insights that would take centuries for science to verify. The Qur'an, despite being confronted by persistent opposition for twenty-three years, remains beyond reproach, a testament to its divine origin. If it had been possible for anyone to dispute it, they would have had every incentive to do so. After all, their religion, wealth, lives, and families were at stake. If even a single person had succeeded in disproving its divine nature, it would have been a momentous event, recorded for posterity and spread across history, for the benefit of those who sought to undermine Islam. However, despite the relentless resistance from those who opposed the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his message, no one succeeded in challenging the Qur'an. The most vocal of the unbelievers, including those with personal and political interests in refuting the Qur'an’s message, never managed to present any credible counterclaim. For twenty-three years, the Qur'an laid down its challenges to its detractors—whether by asking them to produce something like it, to bring together all their best scholars, poets, and rhetoricians, or to replicate even a short surah—and no one ever succeeded. The Qur'an’s divine nature was evident not just in its content, but in the failure of all efforts to challenge it effectively. This enduring inability to refute the Qur'an, despite the vast resources, intellect, and efforts of those who opposed it, speaks to the profound truth and miraculous nature of the revelation. It is a proof of the divine protection over the Qur'an, ensuring that no matter how intense the resistance or how long the opposition, its message would remain unaltered and unassailable throughout time. The miraculous nature of the Qur'an is unique in that it adapts to the understanding and perspectives of every class of people, revealing its divine truth in ways that resonate deeply with each individual's intellectual and spiritual framework. This multifaceted miraculousness ensures that, regardless of one's field of expertise or level of understanding, the Qur'an will reveal its wonders and prove its divine origin. Even to this day, in this age of science and technology, where advancements in fields like cosmology and space research continue to expand our understanding of the universe, the Qur'an stands as a timeless guide. It offers wisdom that aligns with modern discoveries, providing profound insights into the nature of the universe, the creation of life, and the vastness of space. These insights not only resonate with contemporary scientific knowledge but often precede it, demonstrating the convergence of divine knowledge with human understanding. The Qur'an's teachings have continued to provide a profound framework for reflection, integrating the wonders of the natural world with spiritual truths. Thus, the Qur'an’s miraculousness is not confined to any single field but transcends all areas of human knowledge. Its truths are timeless, unfolding in ways that continue to challenge and inspire those who engage with it, no matter their background, field, or era.

The Evidences- The Quran

The greatest miracle brought forth by the Prophet Muhammadﷺ was undoubtedly the Qur'an. It is not merely a book, but the eternal word of Allah, the Creator of the universe, conveyed through the angel Jibril. The Qur'an is a divine revelation that encapsulates the essence of guidance for humanity, an unparalleled miracle that continues to speak across generations.

In the time of Prophet ﷺ Musa (Moses, upon whom be peace), magic was widespread, and his miracles—such as his staff turning into a serpent and parting the Red Sea—were in direct response to the sorcery of his time. Similarly, in the era of Prophet ﷺ Isa (Jesus, upon whom be peace), medicine was a dominant discipline, and his miracles, like healing the blind and curing the leper, reflected this need for divine intervention in matters of health.

However, in the time of the Prophet ﷺ, the Arabian Peninsula was marked by a different set of cultural preoccupations. Four fields were particularly prevalent:

1. Eloquence and rhetoric – The people of the Arabian Peninsula took great pride in their linguistic skills and their ability to compose and deliver speech with unmatched elegance and power.

2. Poetry and oratory – Poetry was the most revered form of artistic expression, with poets holding significant influence over society.

3. Soothsaying and divination of the Unseen – There was a thriving culture of soothsayers and fortune tellers, believed to possess knowledge of the hidden and future events.

4. Knowledge of past events and cosmology – The Arabs were keen on the history of the world and sought wisdom about the origins and workings of the cosmos.

The revelation of the Quran ushered in an unprecedented transformation across the four dominant intellectual spheres of Arabian society, each transformation serving as a testament to its divine origin.

The Master Rhetoricians Bow

In a society where eloquence reigned supreme, the Quran's divine eloquence humbled even the most accomplished speakers. These masters of persuasion and rhetoric encountered in its verses a linguistic perfection that transcended human capability. They stood in awe before its inimitable style, acknowledging that no mortal speech could match its sublime expression.

oThe Quran – Transcending the Age: The miracles of the Qur'an extend beyond their spiritual and theological depth, unveiling profound secrets about the universe, the human being, and the cosmos—secrets that humanity continues to discover through modern science. These miracles stand as enduring evidence of the divine origin of the Qur'an, proclaiming the wisdom and knowledge of the Creator of the universe. 1. The Expanding Universe: The Qur'an hinted at the expansion of the universe, saying: "And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander." (51:47) This statement aligns with the modern discovery of the expanding cosmos, a phenomenon unknown to humans at the time of revelation. The Protecting Roof The Qur'an describes the sky as a protective canopy: "And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away." (21:32) Today, we know that the atmosphere protects life on Earth by blocking harmful radiation and regulating temperature, a fact that testifies to divine foresight. The Formation of Rain: The intricate process of rainfall is detailed in the Qur'an: "And We sent down water from the sky in a measured amount, and We settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are able to take it away." (23:18) This verse reflects the water cycle's precision—evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Pairs in Creation. The Qur'an reveals a universal principle: "And of everything We have created pairs that you may remember." (51:49) This is evident in the dualities of life—male and female, positive and negative charges, and more—showing the divine balance in creation. The Seas That Do Not Mingle: The Qur'an describes a natural phenomenon: "Prophet Muhammad released the two seas, meeting [side by side]; between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses." (55:19-20) Modern science has discovered that seas with different salinities and temperatures do not easily mix, confirming this miraculous insight. Darkness in the Depths of the Seas: The Qur'an mentions layers of darkness in the oceans: "Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds." (24:40) This reflects the phenomena of internal waves and the absence of light in deep-sea regions, something discovered only recently. The Formation of the Human Embryo: The Qur'an provides astonishing details about embryonic development: "We created man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators." (23:12-14) These stages remarkably align with modern embryology, discovered centuries after the Qur'an's revelation. The Layers of the Atmosphere: he Qur'an implies the stratification of the atmosphere: "It is Prophet Muhammad who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then Prophet Muhammad directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and Prophet Muhammad is Knowing of all things." (2:29) This corresponds to the layered structure of the Earth's atmosphere, each with distinct functions. The Movement of Mountains: The Qur'an mentions: "And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected all things." (27:88) This mirrors the tectonic movements of Earth's crust, a phenomenon unknown at the time. The Miracle of Iron: The Qur'an speaks of iron's significance: "And We sent down iron, in which is great military might and benefits for the people." (57:25) Modern science reveals that iron is not native to Earth but was sent down via meteorites, validating the Qur'an's precise language. The Function of Mountains: The Qur'an describes mountains as stabilizers: "And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them." (21:31) This aligns with the modern understanding of mountains acting as stabilizing features for Earth's crust. The Stages of Life in the Womb: The Qur'an beautifully illustrates life's journey:"Prophet Muhammad creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses." (39:6) These "three darknesses" correspond to the abdominal wall, uterine wall, and amniotic sac—layers that protect and nurture life. The Wrapping of Muscles Over Bones. The Qur'an mentions: "...and We covered the bones with flesh." (23:14) This reflects the sequence of human development, corroborated by modern anatomy. The Qur'an is abundant with miracles—historic, scientific, linguistic, and manifestly apparent. However, what is mentioned here represents only a few of these wonders, included briefly for conciseness. Each aspect of its miraculous nature deserves deep exploration, for every word and verse of the Qur'an testifies to its divine origin. These glimpses are but an introduction to the infinite wisdom and signs embedded within its sacred text. These scientific miracles, discovered and understood long after their revelation, serve as resounding evidence of the Qur'an's divine origin. They affirm that the Qur'an is the word of the Creator of the universe, offering timeless guidance and unveiling the infinite knowledge of Allah.

In him, I have placed the culmination of all prophetic guidance, making his message the final, complete testament to My divine unity and mercy."

The Evidences – The Prophecies

The prophecies of the Prophet ﷺ stand as one of the most remarkable aspects of his Prophethood. These prophecies, marked by supreme accuracy, serve as clear signs of the truth of his message, which was granted to him by the Lord of the Universe, who transcends all that exists. Thousands of events foretold by the Noble Messenger have unfolded exactly as he predicted. Below are a few of these extraordinary prophecies, many of which are documented in the most authentic collections of Hadith, including those of Bukhari and Muslim:

Conquests Foretold: He ﷺ told his companions, "You will be victorious over all your enemies. You will succeed in the conquest of Makkah, Khaybar, Damascus, Iraq, Persia, and Jerusalem, and will share among yourselves the treasures of the rulers of the greatest empires, the Byzantines and the Persians." History bore witness to these events, as the Muslims achieved all these conquests during and after his lifetime.

Prediction of the Muslim Empire's Expansion: He ﷺ said, "The earth was laid out before me, and its eastern and western extremities were displayed to me; the realm of my community shall extend over whatever was laid out before me." This prophecy came true as Islam spread far and wide, from the Atlantic in the west to the borders of China in the east.

The Battle of Badr: Before this pivotal battle, the Prophet ﷺ pointed out the exact locations where the leaders of the Quraysh would fall, saying, "Abu Jahl will be killed here, ‘Utba here, Umayya here," and he added, "I shall kill ‘Ubayy b. Khalaf with my own hands." Every prediction came true during the battle.

The Caliphate's Duration: He declared, "After me, the caliphate will last thirty years; then it will be rapacious monarchy." History confirmed this, as the rightly guided caliphate ended with Hasan ibn Ali, totaling thirty years.

The Death of ‘Uthman: He ﷺ said, "'Uthman will be killed while reading the Qur'an." This prophecy was tragically fulfilled during the caliphate of ‘Uthman, who was assassinated in his home while reciting the Qur'an.

Sa‘d b. Abi Waqqas' Future: When Sa‘d was gravely ill, the Prophet ﷺ told him, "It may be that you will be spared so that some may benefit by you, and others harmed by you." Sa‘d later became a celebrated commander, leading the Muslim armies to victory over the Persian Empire, guiding many to Islam, and defeating others in battle.

Fatima’s Passing: He said to his beloved daughter Fatima, "You will be the first of my Family to join me [after my death]." Six months later, Fatima passed away, as foretold.

Abu Dharr’s Loneliness: The Prophet ﷺ told Abu Dharr, "You will be expelled from here [Madinah], will live alone, and will die alone." Decades later, Abu Dharr was exiled and passed away in isolation, fulfilling the prophecy.

The Conquest of Istanbul: He ﷺ declared, "Istanbul will be conquered, and blessed are the ruler and the troops that will conquer it." This was fulfilled centuries later when Mehmed the Conqueror led the Muslims to victory, earning high spiritual esteem.

The Fortress of Khaybar: He ﷺ prophesied that "'Ali will conquer the fortress of Khaybar." Against all odds, ‘Ali tore off the fortress gate with his own hands the following day, securing victory.

The Death of ‘Ammar: He ﷺ said, "A group of rebels will kill ‘Ammar." This was realized during the Battle of Siffin when ‘Ammar was killed.

Suraqa and the Bracelets of Chosroes: To Suraqa, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You will wear the two bracelets of Chosroes." During ‘Umar’s caliphate, the Persian Empire fell, and Chosroes’ bracelets were brought to Madinah. ‘Umar placed them on Suraqa, fulfilling the Prophet’s ﷺ words.

These are but a few examples of the thousands of prophecies made by the Prophet ﷺ, all of which were fulfilled with unparalleled accuracy. These events stand as undeniable evidence of his divine connection and the truth of his Prophethood. Such precise foretelling of the future could only have come from the wisdom of the Lord of the Universe, who transcends all creation and time.

The Quran – Transcending the Age

The miracles of the Qur'an extend beyond their spiritual and theological depth, unveiling profound secrets about the universe, the human being, and the cosmos—secrets that humanity continues to discover through modern science. These miracles stand as enduring evidence of the divine origin of the Qur'an, proclaiming the wisdom and knowledge of the Creator of the universe. The Expanding Universe: The Qur'an hinted at the expansion of the universe, saying: "And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander." (51:47) This statement aligns with the modern discovery of the expanding cosmos, a phenomenon unknown to humans at the time of revelation. The Protecting Roof The Qur'an describes the sky as a protective canopy: "And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away." (21:32) Today, we know that the atmosphere protects life on Earth by blocking harmful radiation and regulating temperature, a fact that testifies to divine foresight. The Formation of Rain: Th The Evidences – The Prophecies The prophecies of the Prophet ﷺ stand as one of the most remarkable aspects of his Prophethood. These prophecies, marked by supreme accuracy, serve as clear signs of the truth of his message, which was granted to him by the Lord of the Universe, who transcends all that exists. Thousands of events foretold by the Noble Messenger have unfolded exactly as he predicted. Below are a few of these extraordinary prophecies, many of which are documented in the most authentic collections of Hadith, including those of Bukhari and Muslim: Conquests Foretold: He ﷺ told his companions, "You will be victorious over all your enemies. You will succeed in the conquest of Makkah, Khaybar, Damascus, Iraq, Persia, and Jerusalem, and will share among yourselves the treasures of the rulers of the greatest empires, the Byzantines and the Persians." History bore witness to these events, as the Muslims achieved all these conquests during and after his lifetime. Prediction of the Muslim Empire's Expansion: He ﷺ said, "The earth was laid out before me, and its eastern and western extremities were displayed to me; the realm of my community shall extend over whatever was laid out before me." This prophecy came true as Islam spread far and wide, from the Atlantic in the west to the borders of China in the east. The Battle of Badr: Before this pivotal battle, the Prophet ﷺ pointed out the exact locations where the leaders of the Quraysh would fall, saying, "Abu Jahl will be killed here, ‘Utba here, Umayya here," and he added, "I shall kill ‘Ubayy b. Khalaf with my own hands." Every prediction came true during the battle. The Caliphate's Duration: He declared, "After me, the caliphate will last thirty years; then it will be rapacious monarchy." History confirmed this, as the rightly guided caliphate ended with Hasan ibn Ali, totaling thirty years. The Death of ‘Uthman: He ﷺ said, "'Uthman will be killed while reading the Qur'an." This prophecy was tragically fulfilled during the caliphate of ‘Uthman, who was assassinated in his home while reciting the Qur'an. Sa‘d b. Abi Waqqas' Future: When Sa‘d was gravely ill, the Prophet ﷺ told him, "It may be that you will be spared so that some may benefit by you, and others harmed by you." Sa‘d later became a celebrated commander, leading the Muslim armies to victory over the Persian Empire, guiding many to Islam, and defeating others in battle. Fatima’s Passing: He said to his beloved daughter Fatima, "You will be the first of my Family to join me [after my death]." Six months later, Fatima passed away, as foretold. Abu Dharr’s Loneliness: The Prophet ﷺ told Abu Dharr, "You will be expelled from here [Madinah], will live alone, and will die alone." Decades later, Abu Dharr was exiled and passed away in isolation, fulfilling the prophecy. The Conquest of Istanbul: He ﷺ declared, "Istanbul will be conquered, and blessed are the ruler and the troops that will conquer it."

The Devine Bestowing- The Food

The miracles that accompanied his touch, his prayers, and even his simplest words are numerous and awe-inspiring. Among them, the miraculous multiplication of food stands out as a recurring testament to his Prophethood. Here are but a few remarkable examples:

Abu Ayyub’s Meal for Two Feeds 180 Men

When the Prophet ﷺ honoured the house of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Abu Ayyub prepared a modest meal meant for two—sufficient for the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr. Yet, the Prophet ﷺ instructed:
"Invite thirty men from the Ansar."

Thirty men came, ate, and left, yet the food remained. He ﷺ then said: "Invite sixty more."

They too ate, and still, the food remained untouched. Finally, the Prophet ﷺ told him to invite seventy more. After 180 men had eaten to their fill, the dishes were still brimming with food. Witnessing this miracle, every guest embraced Islam and pledged allegiance to him.

Feeding an Entire Army with Four Handfuls of Dates

During one expedition, the army faced hunger, and the companions turned to the Prophet ﷺ for help. He instructed them to bring whatever food they had. The companions gathered just four handfuls of dates—barely enough for a single meal. The Prophet ﷺ prayed over the food and said: "Bring your dishes forward." Each companion approached, and their dishes were filled. The entire army ate, and food was still left over. Salama, a companion, later remarked: "I realized from the abundance that if the whole world had come, the food would have been enough for all."

Feeding 1,000 Men at Khandaq

Jabir ibn Abdullah related that during the Battle of the Trench (Khandaq), the Prophet ﷺ fed an army of 1,000 men with just four handfuls of barley bread and a young goat. The food was cooked in Jabir’s home, and after the men had eaten, the pot was still bubbling with meat, and the dough continued to yield bread. The Prophet ﷺ had merely touched the food and prayed for its blessing, and the result was miraculous.

The Suffa Companions and the Never-Ending Dish

Abu Hurayra narrated that the Prophet ﷺ asked him to gather the Ahl al-Suffa—the poor companions who lived in the mosque and numbered over a hundred. A single tray of food was placed before them. Each person ate to their fill, yet the tray remained as full as it had been at the start, except for the traces of their hands. This miracle left them in awe of the Prophet’s ﷺ blessings.

The Orchard’s Debt

When Jabir’s father passed away, he left behind significant debts. Jabir offered his father’s orchard as payment, but the creditors, dissatisfied, demanded more. The Prophet ﷺ inspected the orchard, prayed over it, and asked Jabir to gather its produce. Miraculously, the harvest was enough to pay off the debt in full, with as much produce remaining as if the orchard had not been touched. The creditors, amazed, could only marvel at the divine blessing.

Dates that Lasted for Years

During the expedition to Tabuk, Abu Hurayra brought a small handful of dates to the Prophet ﷺ, who prayed over them and began distributing them. Every man in the army ate, yet the dates never diminished. Abu Hurayra took the remaining dates home and, by the Prophet’s ﷺ instruction, did not turn the bag upside down. He continued to eat from it for years, through the caliphates of Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, and ‘Uthman, until the bag was finally lost during a raid.

These miracles of abundance are not mere stories. His prayers brought blessings, and his actions demonstrated the mercy and power of the Creator. These events stand as luminous signs for all who reflect, bearing witness to the truth of his message and the greatness of his mission. It is to be noted that the Arabian Peninsula, known for its arid climate and scarcity of water and agriculture, posed significant challenges to its inhabitants. In the early days of Islam, these challenges were deeply felt by the Companions, who often endured hunger, thirst, and hardship. It was in these moments of need that the Prophet ﷺ was blessed with extraordinary miracles, particularly concerning food and water.

These miracles were not merely proofs of his Prophethood but manifestations of divine mercy—gifts from the Most Merciful to His Most Beloved Messenger. They were signs of the Creator's generosity, meeting the needs of His Prophet ﷺ and his companions. Those who witnessed these wonders had already affirmed the Prophet’s ﷺ truth, but through these miraculous events, their faith was strengthened and illuminated even further.

The Devine Bestowing- The Food

He was blessed with a divine charm that radiated through every aspect of his being. His presence brought peace, his touch worked miracles, his prayers moved mountains, and his words illuminated hearts. Whether walking among his companions, engaged in battle, or standing in supplication, every action of the Prophet ﷺ proclaimed the message of the Lord of the Universe: that he was indeed the Messenger of God. The miracles that accompanied his touch, his prayers, and even his simplest words are numerous and awe-inspiring. Among them, the miraculous multiplication of food stands out as a recurring testament to his Prophethood. Here are but a few remarkable examples:Abu Ayyub’s Meal for Two Feeds 180 Men: When the Prophet ﷺ honoured the house of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Abu Ayyub prepared a modest meal meant for two—sufficient for the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr.

Those who witnessed these wonders had already affirmed the Prophet’s ﷺ truth, but through these miraculous events, their faith was strengthened and illuminated even further. The Flowing Water from the Finger: These miracles of abundant water, flowing miraculously from the blessed hands of the Prophet ﷺ, are among the most vividly attested wonders in his life. The accounts, conveyed by trustworthy Companions and preserved in the most authentic collections of hadith, leave no room for doubt about their veracity. Anas ibn Malik narrates: “About three hundred of us were with God’s Noble Messenger in a place called Zawra’. He instructed us to perform ablution for the afternoon prayer, but there was no water. He asked us to bring a small amount, dipped his hands into it, and I saw water flow from his fingers like a fountain. All three hundred of us performed ablution and drank from it.” Similarly, Jabir ibn Abdullah recalls a stunning event during the Hudaybiyyah expedition: “We were one thousand five hundred men and had become extremely thirsty. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution from a leather water bag, then dipped his hands into it. I saw water springing from his fingers. All of us drank and filled our water bags.” When asked how many people were present, Jabir replied: “The water would have sufficed even if there had been one hundred thousand, but we were fifteen hundred.” Jabir also recounts another occasion during the Buwat expedition: “The Prophet ﷺ commanded us to bring a small amount of water, which we did. He placed his hands over it while reciting something, then asked for a large trough to be brought. Placing his fingers in the trough, he spread them, and I poured the small amount of water onto his hands. Abundant water flowed from his fingers, filling the trough. Everyone performed ablution and drank, yet the trough remained full.” Mu'adh ibn Jabal relates another instance during the Tabuk expedition: “We came across a spring trickling as faintly as a thread. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a little water to be collected, with which he washed his hands and face. He returned the water to the spring, and suddenly, its outlet gushed forth abundantly, supplying water for the entire army.” ‘Imran ibn Husain shares a remarkable event: “On one journey, we were without water. The Prophet ﷺ sent ‘Ali and me to fetch a woman who was at a certain location with her beast carrying two full water bags. We found her exactly as he described and brought her to him. He poured a little water into a vessel and prayed for blessing. Everyone filled their water bags and drank. The Prophet ﷺ then commanded that something be gathered for the woman, and her skirt was filled with provisions.” The miracles of food multiplication and water flowing from the fingers of God’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), witnessed by multitudes who drank from it, hold the certainty of tawatur, or widely attested consensus. It is inconceivable that the numerous individuals who narrated these events could have conspired to fabricate them, given their impeccable integrity and the sheer number of witnesses. These miracles are thus beyond doubt. What makes these events even more remarkable is that they were not isolated incidents; they occurred multiple times, in the presence of large gatherings. These assemblies included some of the most trustworthy Companions, whose detailed testimonies were recorded by eminent scholars such as Bukhari, Muslim, Imam Malik, Imam Shu‘ayb, and Imam Qatada. Particularly notable are the narrations from close companions and servants of the Prophet ﷺ, such as Anas ibn Malik, Jabir ibn Abdullah, and Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud. They bore witness to the miraculous abundance of multiplying the food, water flowing from his blessed fingers, quenching the thirst of entire armies.

ho came before him. Prophet Muhammad brought forth a Shari'a that would remain unaltered until the Day of Judgment, a message that addressed both humanity and jinn. In him converged the essence of all previous prophetic miracles, yet his mission transcended them all, establishing him as the most conclusive evidence of divine unity and the path to eternal happiness. The Creator seemed to declare through these signs: "Behold My chosen Messenger, through whom I manifest these proofs. Each miracle testifies to his truth, each sign confirms his mission. In him, I have placed the culmination of all prophetic guidance, making his message the final, complete testament to My divine unity and mercy."

The Blessed Touch

Restoration of Sight at Uhud: During the Battle of Uhud, Qatada ibn Nu‘man was struck in the eye by an arrow, causing it to hang out of its socket. The Prophet ﷺ took Qatada’s eye, placed it back into its socket with his blessed hand, and it was miraculously restored. In fact, it became the better of his two eyes, functioning perfectly as though nothing had occurred.

Healing ‘Ali’s Eyes at Khaybar: During the Battle of Khaybar, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib was afflicted with severe eye pain, which left him incapacitated. He ﷺ applied his healing spittle to ‘Ali’s eyes, and they were immediately cured. With his vision fully restored, ‘Ali went on to lead the charge, famously removing the heavy gate of the citadel of Khaybar and using it as a shield.

Healing Wounds in Battle: In the same campaign, Salama ibn al-Akwa‘ had his leg severely wounded by a sword. He ﷺ breathed on the wound, and it was instantly healed, allowing Salama to continue fighting. Similarly, during the Battle of Khandaq, ‘Ali ibn al-Hakam suffered a broken leg from a blow by an enemy. The Prophet ﷺ rubbed his leg, and it was healed so completely that ‘Ali did not even need to dismount from his horse.

Curing Insanity: Ibn Abbas narrates an astonishing incident in which an insane child was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He placed his blessed hand on the child’s chest, and the child suddenly vomited a small, black object resembling a cucumber. The child was instantly cured of the affliction and returned home healthy.

Healing a Burned Arm: Imam Bayhaqi and Nasa’i relate that a child, Muhammad ibn al-Hatib, suffered severe burns on his arm from a pan of boiling water. The Prophet ﷺ touched the burned arm and spread his spittle over it. The arm was healed immediately, showing no signs of the burn.

These are just a few examples from the countless miraculous events and signs of Prophethood that adorned the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). While his life is replete with such extraordinary occurrences, the aim of this book is not to recount all these miracles in detail. Therefore, while these miracles affirm his Prophethood, they are mentioned here briefly to provide a glimpse into the divine support and blessings that accompanied his mission.
