The miracles of Jesus

The Miracles of Jesus - Qur'anic

Allah the Almighty said:

Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favor to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave.
And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'
"And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger: they said, 'We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims'".
Al-Quran, Chapter 5 Al-Maida, Verse 110-111

Jesus's Abilities and The Disciples - Qur'anic

Almighty Allah also revealed:

"And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,
"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;
"'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.
"'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"
When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.
"Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness."
And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.
Al-Quran, Chapter 3 Al'i-Imran, Verse 48-54

Allah Sends the Disciples a Feast

Jesus(pbuh) continued calling people to Almighty Allah and laying down for them what might be called "the law of the Spirit." Once when standing on a mountain surrounded by his disciples, Jesus saw that those who believed in him were from among the poor, the wretched, and the downtrodden, and their number was small.

Some of the miracles which Jesus performed had been requested by his disciples, such as their wish for a "holy table" to be sent down from heaven.
Allah the Exalted said:

Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."
They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."
Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."
Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."
And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden
Al-Quran, Chapter 5 Al-Maida, Verse 112-116

Breif Look into the Miracles in AL-MAEDA (THE TABLE, THE TABLE SPREAD) In the Quran:

005.112
When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is thy Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if ye are true believers.


005.113
(They said: ) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses.

005.114
Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers.

005.115
Allah said: Surely I will send it down to you, but whoever shall disbelieve afterwards from among you, surely I will chastise him with a chastisement with which I will not chastise, anyone among the nations.

005.116
And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?


005.117
I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.


005.118
"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."

As far as I understand, Islam also recognises that Jesus performed miracles. Does anybody want to give examples from the Qu'ran?

Perhaps not the best example to give to Muslims, since it involves wine making and drinking, I will start with this one, as it is considered Jesus' first miracle:

The first miracle was that he wa born the second was that he spoke from the cradle.
As for teh wine. Allah only forbade wine a lot later. Even muslims drank wine before. It is said that when the prohibition of alcohol came, that the streets of medina where flooded of wine that the people had thrown out. So obviously they did drink it before that.

Jesus heals a paralysed man:

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . . ." He said to the paralytic, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

(Mark 2:1-12)

That's interesting, Steve. Thank you.

I have to agree with you - Jesus' conception was the first miracle!
The NT gives no reference of Jesus speaking from the cradle - so that's purely Islamic.

Peace.

The NT gives no reference of Jesus speaking from the cradle - so that's purely Islamic.

Huh? Am I reading that right? We do believe that..

Omg! u know what im lost LOL!!
so lost omg...pffft. forget it...=\
forget that post..i think i messed up there..oyee

The first miracle according to the Qur'an:

After Mary had given birth to Jesus, people accused her of fornication. Instead of responding to their accusations, she pointed to her newly born child:

“[When] she pointed to him, they asked, ‘How can we talk to a child in the cradle?’ He [Jesus] said: ‘Indeed, I am a servant of Allaah. He gave me the scripture and made me a prophet.’ ” Qur’aan, (19):29-30

Hope this clears any confusion, inshallah.

Wasalam,

lol sis, it happens after reading a lot...we tend to add or remove words in an attempt to read faster.

Alaikumassalam,

Although I am a Muslim, in my life I have been enabled in stronger Faith in Jesus than through education in Mohammed's work. But it is often when I express my Faith that I have been denied by both Christians and Muslims. So I shall tell it again here because I believe I am witness to miracle made by Jesus. Perhaps if there is real reason a person could explain to me why it is that I am taken as a liar and insane for telling these matters.

I am witness to events described in Revelations, and truly every day around me miracles unfold. When people are in my presence they are believing with me since there is no other. But then when they are no longer within the immediate influence of my witness in Jesus they fall. That is why some of my posts are showing that I know fear. Not even my mother whom is a devout Christian will sustain Faith in what I am experiencing, but my children are.

The full events of my life circumstance provide me every moment witness to Miracle in Jesus in the simplicity of the fact that I am living. I know it is of Jesus miracle because when ever I read of Revelations it is telling with literal reference of my immediate experience, and I am rarely reading of any of the Prophesies only because I become so afraid by reading. I am not wanting that by reading of any Prophesy it seems to be realising about me. And so I leave it completely to fate whether or not I happen to come across any text. I listen to Qur'an even in Arabic and have scant portions read in English that I comprehend the sequence of events.

So the Miracle of Jesus I know best is Prophesy.

Some days when very isolated I have wondered if perhaps my mother is believable in telling I am insane, but I find my self then in Kafir.

One day a Dwarf approached me at a train station and we talked. I told him that when I first saw a Dwarf when I was an infant, that I became very excited since it was a manifest evidence that there are occurences in the world that persons around me are expressing disbelief in, but are clearly real. Dwarfs are quite Law abiding by comparison to many persons whom exist within a corruption to the balance between Soul and self and negative and positive phenomena. This particular Dwarf only verified for me that many other Dwarfs also have been Dreaming aligned with my self. I understood that but had not had the empirical evidence until he approached me. I was addressed by him formally on behalf of many as Babylon. So while I am indeed in immeasurable fear as to my immediate daily circumstances; and even that fear increases as I write, since I fear most of all that I might not be believed because The Dajjal causes such; I am also so totally vindicated in the sanity of my Faith that I can not possibly be living one instant without certainty in the miracle of Jesus Prophesy of Revelations.

That portion of His Prophesy transmitted to Saint John the Evangelist is the portion that Mohammed fulfilled. The Dwarf's act in so expressly verifing for me my own life story that I can never deny the fact of; is in large part so as to enable the fact in Mohammed to be recognised. Ameen.

Alaikumassalam

Of course! Every event in both Old Testament and New Testament took place literally. That is not only a Muslim belief but the only belief sustainable by any True Believer. Jews, Christians, and Muslims, will all believe that every part of a Scripture as we are taught in Qur'an, or as Jews and Christians have been taught to believe in; actually really happened.

So will all the prophesies. It is intrinsic.

As for healing the sick, I don't know much what Mohammed could or has and has not accomplish, but certainly He is most capable within the regard that most folk hold Jesus as a healer. Yt most persons calling themselves Christian are vastly underestimating Jesus ablity. That is exactly why Mohammed did not perform mass miracles of healing. I am sure that He could have if such were ever necessary. But much of Islamic teaching is rather about avoiding the types of false healing through black magic that many folk have mistakenly assumed was Jesus.

Most modern Churches that claim to be able to heal, are utilising black magic and by using such in Jesus name are only branding themselves firmly as non-believers.

Buddhism includes much teaching about death does it not Trumble? Within those teachings the difference between any healing or bringing breath back into a body while it is passing away, that is based in black magic, and the healing that is based in a real exorcism, is amply evident.

At this time it is factually a part of the Miracles that Jesus made that very many Aboriginal Australians are living; since some Theosophist occultists, and some Buddhists also, have been utilizing black magic to force upon Australian Aboriginal communities all the ills that they are accumulating when they perform exorcisms. That is how I can be certain that their exorcisms are functionally real; but for that one act of black magic that accorded that they flush the ills they extract in exorcism upon my own race. Truly we are surviving in Miracle, and many Aborigines recognise the fact.

Mu'asalam

Yes, Jesus pbuh did speak when he was born, as stated clearly in surat maryam:

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"

Then (the babe 'Iesa (Jesus) or Jibrîl (Gabriel)) cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you.

"And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you."

"So eat and drink and be glad. And if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious (Allâh) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'"



Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyy (a mighty thing)


“O sister of Aaron! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother an unchaste woman!”

But she pointed to the babe. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?”

He said: “I am indeed a servant of Allah: He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet;

“And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat and Zakat as long as I live;

“(He) has made me dutiful to my mother, and not arrogant or unblest;

“So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)”

Surat Maryam- [19: 23-33]

Alaikumassalam

I am not certain what happened what I made that last post that is number 16 in the thread; because I pressed the "post quick reply" button twice, and got a message about not to spam, that has redirected me back into this thread. But it seems not to have spammed. However, this is an apology just in case. (this case?)

mu'asalam

Hi Tayyaba, cheese and others

Yes, I know that the Qu'ran mentions that jesus spoke from the cradle.
All I was saying, is that this is not mentioned anywhere in the Gospels.

atthew described many of Jesus' miracles ... here are a couple more...

Jesus heals a man with leprosy:

When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."(Matthew 8: 1-4)

Jesus calms the storm

Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"(Matthew 8:23-27)
