Mohammad Elshinawy – Proof of Prophethood #26 – When Everyone Saw The Moon Split

			In this episode, as promised, we want to run through a few of the great miracles that Allah
permitted for the people to behold His power and recall it and reinforce in them their conviction
about the prophethood of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		

			The first of them is that of the moon splitting, which is mentioned in a surah of the Quran named El
Kamar. The moon in an attempt to stump the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. Many of
the idolaters of Mecca stood in front of him from that tribe of cooperation, and demanded from him a
sign that no one could deny this lead to God splitting the moon right before their very eyes at that
night, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam motion to it and said, You bear witness
yourselves. A person may ask why didn't anyone else see it on that night, as scholars like as a
judge mention? First of all human beings report incidents in context, someone could have seen it in
		

			a different part of the world and doubted their own eyes Am I hallucinating? Or was too doubtful of
what he saw to relate to others, or others were too doubtful of this possibility, and so they just
dismissed it. A second possibility is a timezone differential. Other people simply could have been
experiencing daytime, or were deeper into the night and they were asleep. A third very reasonable
possibility also, is that they were simply not the intended audience. It is not difficult for God to
show some people a sign and not allow others to notice it. But ultimately, a fourth explanation is
this is an incorrect premise and assumption, this great sign was seen by others. You see, the
		

			baffled crowd in Mecca, said Mohamed must have cast a spell on our eyes, some sort of witchcraft or
black magic, but he would not be able to do this to people that were not present. So they decided to
ask travelers from outside of Mecca people in the same region beyond the city if they too saw what
these people did. So they sent riders out of the city racing to meet those days and nights away from
where Quraysh took its dwellings, and they too confirmed that they in fact, saw the phenomenon of
the moon splitting. Ultimately, the idolaters of Quraysh were cornered and decided to deny their own
eyes. No, we didn't see that. Someone else from our times perhaps may ask, why wasn't there a
		

			gravitational disturbance? This degree of skepticism is a bit odd because this was a supernatural
phenomenon, something that transcended the natural order. So why should we expect a supernatural
event to have natural effects can't an omnipotent god cleave an astronomical object in a miraculous
way, and at the same time, miraculously suspend any of the expected impact? The second great
miracles that of the night journey which is also mentioned in the Quran, the fact that the Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, was carried by God's consent from Mecca in Central Arabia,
all the way to Jerusalem in a single night, and returned in that same night, the people of his city
		

			questioned him about how they are expected to believe something of this nature. And he went on to
describe the city with such perfect accuracy, that all of the tradesmen and all of the journeyers,
who went back and forth for business and trade to that city to Jerusalem, and knew that Mohammed did
not, we're all astounded, it should actually be easier for us in this day and age, to dismiss the
notion of this being unimaginable. Because challenging what is possible is of the distinctive
features of our modern times that we take great pride in. Quantum mechanics challenge our notions of
what is and isn't possible in terms of a fourth dimension. transporting a person from New York City
		

			to Mecca in 12 hours would have been unimaginable. But both of these features of our age, the
advancement in physics, the advancements in technology and transportation. These are productions of
the minds of men, minds that God Himself created. So what is so difficult about believing that God
Himself can do even less than that? The third mutawatir miracle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is that of the tree weeping. This is yet another abundantly concurring in
		

			vent, reported by mass transmission, that a tree wept and whimpered when the Prophet Muhammad peace
and blessings be upon him, distanced himself from it. Once the altar or the pulpit was constructed
for him in Medina, over 20 of his companions were eyewitnesses to this, and this took place in a
public sermon, which means had these 20 Plus been incorrect, they would have been corrected. Could
all of this be a collusion? The fourth miracle is that of increasing the water supply. And this
occurred on many occasions, Jabba if not Dilla, may Allah be pleased with him, says We were once
traveling with the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. We could not even find water to
		

			perform the sacred ritual of absolution so that we can perform our prayers. And so our remaining pot
of water was brought to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. And he placed his
blessed fingers in it, and the water began to rise and flow through his fingers. And he said to us,
anyone seeking water for evolution, come forward and know that these blessings are from Allah. Jabba
says, We all drank and all performed evolution without exception. And he said, I did not care how
much I drank from that pot, because I knew for certain that it was being miraculously blessed. One
of the narrator's asked Jebin how many people were you? He responded, even if we were 100,000, it
		

			still would have been enough. But we were 1500 from that one single little jug. Then there are the
times that the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him increase the food supply, or a
single goats or lamb or sheep would feed an entire army, and yet they would still find the food
their remaining after they ate their fill. And so they loaded their camels with what remained of the
food. And we did not cover the mortality concept of the accepted supplications of the Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him when he asked Allah to make her Omar and then that Allah
empowers Islam through and they say we were never able to pray publicly until Amata became Muslim,
		

			and Michael Hart winds up including Omar among the 100 Elite, most influential human beings in human
history. No one spread the light of Islam, like Omar did, by virtue of that prophets supplication.
Ns says the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was approached by a panicking Bedouin as he was
giving a sermon to a multitude of people, that the animals are dying, the crops are drying up, ask
God to give us rain already. He said before the sermon was over, while the prophets hands were still
raised, all of the clouds gathered above us. And they began to pour, and pour so much for seven days
straight, that another Bedouin man comes forward the next week, and says during the sermon, ask God
		

			to withhold the rain. And so he raised his hands again in front of everyone asking Allah to withhold
the rain and make it around us, not upon us. And the clouds separate as they watch until they form a
crown outside of the perimeter of the city of Medina. And then there was the time he prayed for NS
himself that Allah bless him in his wealth. And in his offspring, when his mother requested that the
Prophet pray for him, he made those two prayers for him. And NS used to say to His disciples, a
generation later, look at me now look at this affluence that comes my way. And I between my children
and grandchildren have 100 descendants at this very moment. And then there's Abu Hurayrah, may Allah
		

			be pleased with him, who would come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam weeping because every
time he invited his mother to become Muslim, she would say awful, vulgar, offensive things about the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he would encounter a DUA, a supplication from the
Prophet Muhammad for his mother and return home, just having dried his tears to find his mother
testifying the testimony of faith and becoming a muslim. And in one final incident that comes to
mind Abu Ahmed Al Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him says, one time the army of the Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, as they were out on a military expedition were nearly
		

			broken by their starvation. And so they were commanded by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
bring their rations whatever remain, some people would bring a handful or two, and they made a small
amount. And then he called upon Allah to bless this little and make of it much. And then he
commanded every single person to take from it. Each of them filled their respective containers and
went back to their animals. And he said, I testify that no one is worthy of worship with Allah and
that I am the messenger of Allah.
		

			And that no one meets Allah with these two statements having said them, while not doubting them,
except that they will be of the people of paradise sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
