Prophet Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, gave
life to the dead.
Whereas Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has
not done any such miracle.
Who is greater?
A person who can give life to the
dead or a person who cannot give life
to the dead?
Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said, it
is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter
number 24, verse number 24, for there shall
arise many false Christs and false prophets and
they shall show you wonders, miracles and signs.
So much so, if possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
So from this verse of the Bible, we
clearly understand that Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, he said, that there shall arise false
Christs and false prophets and if possible, they
shall deceive the very elect.
They shall show wonders and miracles and signs
and if possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
What does it mean that they shall deceive
the very elect?
The very elect, it refers to the apostles
of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, the
disciples of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
So therefore, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
made it clear that miracles is not the
sign that a person is greater.
Miracles is not the sign for a person
to be a prophet of God.
Miracles is not a sign for a person
to be greater and in fact, Jesus Christ,
peace be upon him, said, it is mentioned
in the Gospel of John, chapter number 11,
verse number 41, as well as verse number
42.
Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, says, Father,
I thank Thee for Thou hast heard me
and Thou hears me every time for it
is for the people for whom Thou I
have been sent.
So that Thou will believe, will believe in
me and will believe in what I have
come forth, come with.
And in verse number 43, Jesus Christ, peace
be upon him, says, Lazarus, come forth.
He says in a loud voice, Lazarus, come
forth.
So if we read the verses of Gospel
of John, chapter number 11, verse number 41,
42 and 43, we shall understand that Jesus
Christ, peace be upon him, he gave life
to the dead, but it was only because
of the permission of Almighty God.
It was only by the permission of Almighty
God.
In fact, all the prophets of Almighty God,
they did miracles, but it was only by
the permission of Almighty God, including Jesus Christ,
peace be upon him, whatever miracles he did,
including giving life to the dead, it was
only by the permission of Almighty God.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
the glorious Quran in Surah Al-e-Imran,
chapter number 3, verse number 49, وَالرَّسُولًا إِلَىٰ
بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلٍ And a messenger has been appointed
to the children of Israel.
أَنِّي قَدْ جِئتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَبِّكُمْ I have
come with a sign from your Lord.
أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْطِينِ كَهِيَةِ الطَيِّبِ فَأَنْفُخُوا
فِيهِ فَيَكُونْ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ For it is
clay, and it is in a figure of
a bird, and I breathe into it.
And it turns into a bird by the
permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
وَأُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَا وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَأُحِيِ الْمَوْتَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ And
I heal those born blind and lepers, and
I give life to the dead by the
permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
I heal the lepers and the people who
are blind, and I give life to the
dead by the permission of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
وَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ And
I inform you that what you eat and
what you store in your houses.
So from this verse of Surah Al-Imran,
chapter number 3, verse number 49, we clearly
understand that Jesus Christ peace be upon him,
he did miracles.
But all of these miracles, they were by
the permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He healed those born blind by the permission
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He healed the lepers by the permission of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He gave life to the dead by the
permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He informed the people what they ate and
what they stored in their houses by the
permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So all these miracles that were performed by
Jesus Christ peace be upon him, they were
only by the permission of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
but if the Christian argues and says no
no no Jesus Christ peace be upon him
he gave life to the dead therefore he's
greater than Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
then if I agree or if we agree
with this Christian for the sake of argument
then Moses peace be upon him he should
be greater because besides giving life to the
dead he converted vegetable kingdom into animal kingdom
when he converted or turned the stick into
a snake by the permission of Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala so therefore if a person does
miracles that does not make him greater I
hope that answers your question
