WHAT DOES MU’JIZA MEAN?

  What's the significance here?

As far as we might be concerned, a mu'jiza is something demonstrating the honesty of a

individual who said he was a Prophet. There were conditions for a

mu'jiza:

1 — Allâhu ta'âlâ made it without a trace of normal means,

by which to assist His Prophet with being affirmed.

2 — It must be phenomenal. Customary things, for example, the

sun's ascending in the East consistently or blossoms sprouting in the spring,

couldn't be mu'jizas.

3 — Others must be unequipped for getting it done.

4 — It needed to happen at whatever point the individual who declared his

prophethood wished it to.

5 — It needed to concur with his desire. For instance, that's what assuming he said

he would breathe new live into a specific dead individual and if another wonder

occurred, for instance, on the off chance that a mountain was broken into two,

all things considered, it wouldn't be a mu'jiza.

6 — The mu'jiza stumbling upon his desire shouldn't misrepresent him.

For instance, while he was supernaturally chatting with a certain

monster, on the off chance that the monster said, "This man is a liar," it wouldn't be a

mu'jiza.

7 — The mu'jiza shouldn't occur before he said he was a

Prophet. Ponders that occurred before [the declaration of his

prophethood], for example, 'Îsâ's[1] ('alaihi 's-salâm) talking when he

was in a support, his being given dates when he requested dates

from a wilted up tree, and in Muhammad's (alaihi 's-salâm)

adolescence, the cleavage of his chest and his heart being scrubbed by

washing, there being a cover over his head constantly and his

being welcomed by trees and stones were not mu'jizas, yet karâmas.

They are called irhâsât (preliminary indications of a prophet). They

accentuated prophethood. It is workable for such karâmas to

occur through Awliyâ' too. Before Prophets were educated

of their prophethood, their status was not lower than that of the

Awliyâ'. Karamâs were seen from them. A mu'jiza could occur

following a Prophet is educated regarding his prophethood. For

model, assuming he had said that such and such an occasion would take

place a month after the fact, the occasion would turn into a mu'jiza when it

occurred. In any case, it wouldn't be important to have confidence in his

prophethood before it occurred.

A mu'jiza showing that a Prophet is coming clean is

not just a necessity of the mind. That is, it is not normal for the case

of some work signifying the presence of its representative. For the keenness'

understanding that something is the confirmation of something different requires

some connection between the two things. At the point when the evidence is seen,

the presence of the connected thing, not the presence of something

else, is understood. The case isn't so with a mu'jiza. For instance,

sky being broken into pieces, stars being dispersed and

mountains being crushed will occur when the finish of the

world comes, at the hour of Judgment day. This won't be the time

for the approaching of a Prophet. These are the mu'jizas anticipated by

each Prophet. However, excessive for those find out about

them to realize that they are mu'jizas. The case with a Walî's is as well's

karâma being the mu'jiza of a Prophet, however it doesn't have any

association with that Prophet. What we have expressed so far is

made sense of exhaustively in the book Sharh-I mawaqif by Sayyid Sherîf

al-Jurjânî.

As indicated by most 'ulamâ', however open tahaddî (challenge),

that is, expressing, "Feel free to do likewise! Yet, you can't!" isn't

a condition for a mu'jiza, the importance of a mu'jiza contains

tahaddî. Since a tahaddi doesn't involve question in the

reports made about the conditions of the Rising Day and future

occasions, these are not mu'jizas against doubters. The Devotees

accept that these reports are mu'jizas. The karâmas of Awliyâ'

are not mu'jizas on the grounds that they don't guarantee prophethood and

since there is no tahaddî in them. The way that such nonchallenging ponders don't demonstrate the honesty of an individual

guaranteeing prophethood doesn't be guaranteed to show that mu'jizas do

not demonstrate it. Going against the norm, this is what is generally anticipated from a

mu'jiza
