ISSN 0890-6831 MUSLIM PERSPECTIVE Published Monthly by MASJID TUCSON Zul Hijjah 1407 August 1987 Editor: Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D. THE MIRACLE OF MUHAMMAD VS. THE MIRACLES OF MOSES AND JESUS Bear in mind that all miracles are God's; le manifests them through whomever He hooses. The exciting discovery of a divine mathe- natical code throughout the Qur'an is increas- ngly recognized as the most significant 'eligious event since the revelation of the Zur'an. For the first time in history, we low possess physical, tangible proof: 1) for the existence of God; 2) that the Qur'an is God's message to the world; and despite all attempts 3) that the Qur'an, to tamper with it, has been perfectly preserved (see Muslim Perspective, July 1987). The significance of this profound miracle s reflected in the Almighty's description of it as "One of the greatest miracles" (74:30~ 35) It is universally recognized that every messenger of God was supported by miracles to prove that he was authorized by God. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent. Jesus shaped birds from clay, then blew into them, and they became live ›y God's leave. He revived the dead and healed the blind by God's leave. Muhammad, God's final prophet, on the other hand, did not show his people any kind of miracles (6:37; 10:20; 13:7, 27; 20:133; & 21:5). To get around this "problem," many Muslim scholars tried to use the Qur'an's extraordinary linguistic excellence as Muham- mad's miracle, and coupled this with their contrived claim that Muhammad was illiterate. The Muslim Perspective of April 1986 present- ed evidence that Muhammad wrote God's revelations with his own hand (see for example 25:5). The idea that the Qur'an's literary it= minri inar hold water, since the Arabs were famous for their extraordinary talent with poetry, cleverly composed literature. prose and Additionally, it is a totally subjective and opinion. literary • Qur'an's disputable The excellence, fantastic as it is, does not constit- ute Muhammad's miracle. We learn from the Qur'an (29:50-51) that Muhammad's miracle is the Qur'an. We also learn from 10:20 and 25:4-6 that Muhammad's miracle was destined to remain a divinely guarded secret until a specific time when God willedto disclose it. In 10:20, we see that the question is raised as to why the Prophet Muhammad did not exhibit any kind of miracle. The answer is provided in the same verse, that Muhammad's miracle shall remain hidden until some time in the future. In 25:4, we see the disbelievers claim- ing that the Qur'an was fabricated by Muhammad, with the assistance of some other people. In 25:5, we see other disbelievers stating that the Qur'an was no more than tales from the past, dictated upon, and written by, Muhammad. Verse 6 then provides the answer to these claims: there is a secret within the Our'on that would prove the divine source of the Quran. Fourteen centuries later, with the advent the miraculous of electronic computers, mathematical composition of Qur'an is dis- covered. While the Ulema or scholars of traditional Islam are still busy counting the letters in the first verse of Qur'an, the rest of the world has been profoundly fascinat- ed by the overwhelmingly interlocking para- meters of the Qur'an's supernatural mathema- tical composition. During the last 19 years, one amazing feature after another has been emerging Quran's and causing the mirarle in ha imrocistan!: mathematical

What is the difference between cies ci Moses and Jesus and that of Muham- mad? This question can be answered by posing another question: How long did the miracles of Moses and Jesus last?

Ther can pick up. the Quran anytime and witness the miracle. I am talking about people who read the details of the miracle actusly as published by this mosque, but insist on denying its physical facts. I will cite here one example that illustrates how they are still stuck at item Number One: that the first verse of Qur'an consists of 19 letters. In one of their publications, they say that "The phrase BISMILLAH... contains 20 letters and not nineteen but unfortunately our kind Dr. Khalifa has forgotten to note that there is an ALIF in the word AL-RAHMAN, but this ALIF is noi written ! ! !" Thus, thes create their invisible letters and count them, lor no other cbson bu: to oppose God and His mirscle. One can see the hopelessness of trying to help these people, since hundreds of other overwhelming parameters of the Quran's mathematical miracle cannot be witnessed by them; they have to go past the first verse first.

The Qur'an teaches us clearly that the Prophet is dead (39:30), totally unaware (5:109, 16:21 i 23:100), and can never respond to anyone (35:14).
