Do you believe in miracles?

Uh, any ladies out there? Nick says any ladies out there like Lilith for us single brothers that will take us. So, uh, I'm sure there are. I'm sure they are. So, cool. Let's take a look at some of the questions. Did I have Right.

I was asked a question about miracles. Uh, I did a meetup. Now, those of you that may have seen it, I did a meetup just on New Year's Day, just as it kind of early in the morning. Now, during that, I had a bit of a discussion on miracles and I was asked about this.

So I was asked if I could maybe shed a few more a bit more light on the topic and so what did I mean? Uh because is it Ahmed Shah Ahmed uh young man who came on very intelligent uh and he's a keen follower.

He you know we I interact with him on several of these kind of on social media and on several meetups but he asked the question that look you say that miracles aren't uh real why do you say this and so I just wanted to clarify look as I mentioned on there as well it's not that I don't say there's no such thing as miracles but what I mean by miracles may differ to what you mean by miracles.

To me, miracles are things like life is a miracle. Happiness, these things that you know the the wonder that that fills this world is a miracle. Vision is a miracle. You know, comprehension, consciousness is a miracle. Our relations are miraculous in many way. And so are the happenings that take place in each of our lives that on upon occasion are no short of an actual miracle.

So how sometimes we get saved from certain calamities, how sometimes help comes out of nowhere, how you know risk comes to us unexpectedly. All of these things are miracles in according to to everybody they should be and according to me these things are miracles and they do happen. So when we say miracles we disagree maybe upon what the definition is of these things as to supernatural events.

things like um the dead coming back to life, stuff like this. Now, I have explained that God does not break his laws of nature because they are his laws. Why would he tell us to go and learn from nature? If nature was unreliable, Allah says, you know, look, you know, do they not, do they not look at this?

Do they not look at the sat? Do they not look at the earth? Do they not look at how plants rise up? Do they not look at these things? The only way you can learn is if there is a um if there is consistency, which there is. So now that's just answering that topic. Okay.

The next point is what do the scholars in the books of theology mean when they say miracles? Now yes in the books of scholars have this thing called Allah does not mention these in the Quran as Allah speaks of in the Quran but they will call them in the ter terminology that or singular.

They say that a mua is a miracle and it is a supernatural miracle that defies all known knowledge by man and breaks the laws of nature. Um so something like like uh let's say pouring fountains of water from the fingertips that never happens.

So to do something like that now that has no explanation whatever nobody can just explain that. So so they will say okay now these things are miracle or a rock splits open and a camel jumps out of it this camel then is a a pregnant she camel that gives birth to another camel. This story is not mentioned in the Quran like that anywhere. These are madeup stories uh transmitted by uh Abu Tail.

But the point is that here you have and I have a video on that on Sal camel alisam. But these are popular myths. So people want to believe these stories. Why do they believe them? Part of why these stories spread like wildfire is because when you make something so spicy, it spreads.

And people they've kind of over the the ages they've kind of spiced up the stories and that's nothing new. People do that to make these stories interesting. It doesn't mean that these stories necessarily were actually true but that's why they spread because obviously a story the you know the more excitement you put in it the farther it's going to reach.

So the same thing with prophetic stories. Now the next point is when the what do these theologians say is the objective of these miracles. So they say each prophet was sent with these supernatural laws and what the purpose they mention the purpose the purpose was to prove to everyone that God is powerful and it is a sign for them to then believe.

But then you see the problem with this there's a number of problems. One is none of these people seem to ever believe in it. So the these miracles seem to fail their purpose. So either God didn't know that or he does it on purpose knowing that even though I do it, they still won't believe. And if that be the case, the kufur of Quraysh and the Quran beg the prophet for these very same signs like you know uh make a river come out come out to us make food come down from the sky make a

book come down from the sky show us something you know like they beg the prophet it's in the Quran verse so many verses saying you know bring these springs forth we're in a desert bring a spring of water for we will believe in you. And the prophet says, you know, I'm an human being. How can I do these things? So here you've got a people begging for him, but God does not do it.

Why? Because he says, "Well, duh, you're a human. You can't do things like that." There you're saying in previous generations, people are saying, "We don't care." And God is giving sign upon sign, supernatural signs, which by the way, if normal people saw them, they would believe, but God only shows them to people who disbelieve.

I mean, and it just does not make any sense like what is the purpose of these things? So that has been my point. Now then we got to a final point where I did ask uh the brother I said, "So what is the miracle of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam?" And he said, "The Quran." Now, this put me in a very uncomfortable position.
