What is the Miracle of Islam? - Dr Zakir Naik

COGQA-12

Questioner: I am Mr. Ravindarn.

Chairman: Yes Mr. Ravindarn….

Questioner: …A social worker. I thank to peace organization and Mr. my friend Ayer Iyer. I already note these points of the my journal. Ah… the one God All Mighty.. so I only one question what is the miracle of in Islam. concerning, Solomon 5:16 like that. So I want to know the miracles…So many religions they said miracles-miracles. So I want to know the Islam’s miracles.

Dr. Zakir: Brother’s asked a question what is the miracle of Islam. Then you quoted Song of Solomon 5:16. Song of Solomon is a part of the Bible. Song of Solomon is a part of the Old Testament in the Bible which is Hebrew says

"Hikko mamittakim we kullo MUHUMMUDIM zeh doodee wa zeh raee banout Jerusalem"

It’s a Hebrew quotation. I am quoting the exact because the translation differs. "Hikko mamittakim we kullo MUHUMMUDIM zeh doodee wa zeh raee banout yerushaleim" which means that

“He is most sweet he’s all together lovely, he is my beloved O daughters of Jerusalem.”

Now the original I quoted why? Because the original mentions the word ‘Muhammadim’ In the Hebrew language we add ‘im’ as a plural of respect. To word of Muhammad is added Muhammadim. Like how Elho means God, Elhoim means respect for God. so... but in the translation of the Bible they have translated the proper noun Muhammad as all together lovely. But if you read the song of Solomon ch. 5 verse no. 16 it speaks about the coming of the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He is even mentioned by name.

Now coming to your first question what is the miracle in Islam. There were many miracles in Islam and if you read the Sahih hadith there are no less than 300 miracles which our beloved Prophet did. But the miracle which we boast about is, it is the Glorious Qur’an. This is the miracle of Islam, all the other miracles for example we believe that Moses (pbuh), he parted the sea. Jesus Christ (pbuh), he gave life to the dead. But today if we want to analyze can we go back in time and check whether Moses parted the sea or not? That time people were convinced will you and I can get convinced? So a person who doesn’t have faith in the religious scriptures he cannot go back in time and verify whether Moses (pbuh) did he part the sea or not, did Jesus give life to the dead or not, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he split the moon but you cannot go back in time. One miracle which was a miracle that time, is today, and will be till eternity is the Glorious Qur’an. It is the miracles of miracles.

And more than a week back i.e. about 8 days back on the 12th of January I gave a talk on ‘Qur’an and Modern Science – Compatible or Incompatible?’ And I proved in the lecture this Qur’an is a miracles of miracles. It’s not only a miracle it’s a miracle of miracles. It’s a miracle of all times.

Previously it was age of miracles it proved itself. Then came the age of literature and poetry. Qur’an is the best Arabic literature available on the face of this earth according to the Muslims and Non Muslim Arabic scholars.

But today if a religious scripture says in a poetic fashion the world is flat, will you believe in it? The answer is no. because today it’s not the age of literature and poetry, today is the age of science and technology. So 8 days back I proved that what the Qur’an has mentioned 1400 years ago science has proved yesterday, 20 years back, 50 years back, 100 years back, 200 years back...
