Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:08
The Noble Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad's eternal miracle, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:14
Allah the Almighty made every messenger or prophet have a miracle that serves as proof of his truthfulness in what Allah sent him with.
0:24
As Allah the Almighty says, "Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs."
0:30
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "There was no prophet among the prophets except that he was given signs by which people believed."
0:41
Narrated by Bukhari.
0:43
However, the Qur'an mentions the miracle or miracles using the wording "signs" or "clear proofs."
0:52
As in the previous verse, and as Allah the Almighty said concerning the she-camel of Salih, peace be upon him:
0:59
“And to (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. A wonder from your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! this is the camel of Allah, a token unto you; so let her feed in Allah's earth, and touch her not with hurt lest painful torment seize you.” (7:73)
1:07
And Allah the Almighty said, "And We had certainly sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs."
1:14
And the sign is the mark, the proof, and the evidence.
1:18
This indicates that the purpose of the miracles of the messengers was to be evidence of their truthfulness.
1:25
The signs of the prophets and their miracles were tangible miracles.
1:31
They ended with the end of the era of the prophet or messenger through whom they appeared.
1:36
And nothing of their impact remained after them except the narration of them.
1:41
And Allah made our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, have similar tangible signs and miracles.
1:49
And they are very numerous, such as the Night Journey and Ascension, healing the sick, and the pebbles glorifying Allah in his hands.
1:58
And so on.
2:01
However, his greatest and eternal sign and miracle is the Noble Qur'an.
2:07
It is a miracle that does not cease with the passing of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
2:13
Rather, it remains after him until the Day of Judgment.
2:16
This is because he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is the last messenger and the seal of the prophets.
2:22
And he was sent to both Jinn and humankind with the message of Islam until the Day of Judgment.
2:28
The continuation of the previous hadith confirms this meaning.
2:32
The hadith in its entirety states:
2:35
"There was no prophet among the prophets except that he was given signs by which people believed."
2:43
"But what I was given was a revelation that Allah revealed to me."
2:48
"So I hope to have the most followers on the Day of Resurrection."
2:53
