 Assalamu alaikum, peace be upon you, our respected viewers and welcome to the beliefs of Islam. In today's episode, we will talk of miracles as evidence of prophetic claims. Logically, accepting any proclamation fundamentally requires proof. Now the connection between the proclamation and the proof must be so reliable that the confidence in the reliability of the proclamation is indissoluble from the evidence provided. A prophet proclaims the representation of from Allah the Exalted. There is no way of proving this proclamation except from confirmation from Allah. Thus a miracle is a practical confirmation from Allah for his proclamation as a prophet. A miracle takes place without a material cause with a will that encompasses the causes and effect. The cause determines the effect and the effect except determining from the cause which is nothing but the will of Allah the Exalted. When a miracle takes place with the proclamation of a prophet, then it gives certainty that Allah the Exalted performed the miracle for his confirmation. Now the best definition we can give for a miracle is that which exists out of the productive capacity of the human beings. When someone proclaimed to be a prophet and it was rationally possible to confirm this if he showed a miracle, it would be a convincing proof to verify his claim. However, if he was not truthful, then the occurrence of a miracle from him would be verification of a liar and a reason for misleading the people. Allah as far too exalted to act by authenticating a liar and misleading the people. Imam Aridah A.S. said, if one said why it's compulsory for them, meaning the masses to know the messengers, acknowledge them and submit to their obedience. The reply would be, this is due to the creation not being able to reach imperfection. What is in their interest? The Creator is higher than can be seen. Due to their weakness and incapability, the creation cannot perceive them. Thus it was a must that an infallible messenger be in between him and his creation to convey to them his commands regarding what to do and what not to do. In short, he would teach them manners and inform them of their interests and harms. In short, he would teach them manners and inform them of their interests and harms, as they do not have the ability to understand what they need and what is in their interests or what is harmful for them. If recognizing and obeying the prophet was not compulsory upon the people, then there would be no use of his coming. This would mean that he has carried out a useless act which has no benefit and use. This is not the attribute of all wise who made firm everything. This is for today. Until we meet next episode, thank you very much indeed. Anas salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
