Question: Was it a big part of the Prophet’s mission was to discover the hidden aspects of the creation?
Answer: The Prophet’s miracles have been spread in various ways
– In Islam, we have an acute sensitivity when it comes to understanding miracles, because of the background of miracles in Chrstian tradition where
– It is within human nature that we may not entirely grasp the teachings behind miracles and instead idolize the performer of the miracle
- Hence why the miracles of the Prophet SAW are not emphasized
- Every unit in the universe confirms the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW)
- The creator of the whole universe creates miracles in various way in the language of the creator beings
You can never separate the Prophetic message from what you see in the universe
1) Your interaction with the material world
2) Your appreciation of the qualities manifested in that creation
As science progresses and we learn how our cells function, what our brain does, etc – through it all we are learning more about our creator WHO has created all that we are finding out more about.
– The knowledge of God most certainly is manifested in an infinite number of ways
We should not be prejudiced about the fact that science has advanced so much, to a point where things are advancing so much and everything is becoming superficial and commercialized, etc
– Technology is used, mainly, for war and terrorism
– And some people become very skeptical of this advancement
– But in it, is a lesson for us
- We learn the power in technology and subsequently learn the power of Allah
The world is to be used to discover the Signs of its Creator. Miracles are given to human beings through Prophets in order to encourage them to utilize the universe to certify that the message of the Prophets is really confirmable by human experience of the world.
