Abstract
"hrough out his to ry, Allah sent mes sen gers to all peo ples, show ing them how to live a good life in this world and the next. We are told in the Qur'an that this is a won der ful grace and mer cy for all be liev ers: Allah showed great kind ness to the be liev ers when He sent a mes sen ger to them from among them selves to re cite His signs to them, pu ri fy them, and teach them the Book and Wisdom, even though be fore that they were clear ly mis - guid ed. (Surah Al 'Imran: 164) We have on ly sent you as a mer cy to all the worlds. (Surat al-Anbiya': 107) These mes sen gers were a grace to their com mu ni ties, for they showed their peo ple the right path, helped them leave the dark ness of un be lief and en ter in to the light of be lief, and pro claimed the com - mands of our Lord, Who cre at ed the uni verse from noth ing. They told peo ple that they could have con - tent ment, peace, and se cu ri ty on ly by liv ing a good re - The Miracles of our Prophet (saas) li gious life. However, Allah al so re veals that "...most peo ple have no faith" (Surat al-Ra'd: 1). Thus, few peo ple em braced faith and ap pre ci at ed what a great mer cy these mes sen gers were for them. As re vealed in the Qur'an, they sin cere ly de sired that peo - ple should come to faith: "But most peo ple, for all your ea ger - ness, are not be liev ers" (Surah Yusuf: 103). They called their peo ple to truth so that they could re ceive bless ings in both worlds and live good and hap py lives. They asked no re ward for this. Due to their sin cere fear of and re spect for Allah and their superior moral character, the messengers dedicated their hon or a ble lives to this goal. All of the en su ing dif fi cul ties and trials on ly in creased their faith and ded i ca tion. With Allah's help and sup port, they be came ex am ples of cour age; with His per mis sion, they al ways pre vailed. Our Lord says: Allah has writ ten: "I will be vic to ri ous, I and My mes sen - gers." Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadalah: 21) In return for their devotion, faithfulness, patience, sincerity, and trust in Him, Allah im part ed a sense of se cu ri ty and con tent ment to their hearts, gave them ma te ri al and spir it u al strength, and de stroyed the un be liv ers' traps: We will cer tain ly help Our mes sen gers and those who be - lieve both in the life of this world and on the Day the wit - nesses appear. (Surah Ghafir: 51) O Messenger, trans mit what has been sent down to you from your Lord. If you do not, you will not have trans mit - ted His mes sage. Allah will pro tect you from peo ple. Allah does not guide the un be liev ers. (Surat al-Ma'idah: 67) Allah tells us that He de fend ed our Prophet (saas) 12 against all of the un be liev ers' traps: … when the un be liev ers were plot ting against you to im - pris on, kill, or ex pel you: They were plot ting and Allah was plan ning, but Allah is the Best of Planners.

He in creased His bless ings up on them, pro vid ed an es cape from ev ery dif fi cul ty, in creased their cour age and strength, light - ened their bur dens, and strength ened their re solve by re - mind ing them of His mer cy. Our Lord sup port ed some of His mes sen gers by al low ing them to per form mir a cles. These great bless ings from Allah had a strong ef fect on peo - ple, strength ened the be liev ers' re - solve and faith, and caused many un be liev ers to em - brace Islam. 14 The Miracles Granted to the Messengers Allah en a bled His mes sen gers to per form mir a cles to pro tect them from the un be liev ers' and the hyp o crites' traps, to bring peo ple to faith, and for oth er rea sons.
