Brothers and sisters, I have been given the mantle to present on a very great topic. Thus THE MAIN MIRACLE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH....

When I am to present in the midst of some great Shaikhs, I feel like the whole world have have been dropped on me.
So may Allah guide me.Aamen
Servants of Allah let's start by asking ourselves a question, What is a miracle?....
A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws. Such an event may be attributed to a supernatural being, magic, a miracle worker, a saint, or a religious leader.
Informally, the word miracle is often used to characterise any beneficial event that is statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature , such as surviving a natural disaster , or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other such miracles might be: survival of an illness diagnosed as terminal, escaping a life-threatening situation or 'beating the odds'.

A true miracle would, by definition, be a non-natural phenomenon, leading many rational and scientific thinkers to dismiss them as physically impossible (that is, requiring violation of established laws of physics within their domain of validity) or impossible to confirm by their nature (because all possible physical mechanisms can never be ruled out).

In Islam, we have two types of miracles,..

The mu‘jizah (miracle) is the extraordinary sign with which Allah supports His Prophets and Messengers, and challenges people. The karaamah is something extraordinary that Allah causes to happen at the hand of one of His close friends.

In most cases, before someone or something will be believed, One must see a miracle. This shows that miracle is very essential in one's life.

Most importantly, some people gain Alot of benefits like the Ummah of the various prophets who witnessed and believed that their miracles are direct messages from Allah and their rewards are in manifolds.
Whereas, with others, miracles have and will only cause their downfall. For instance, those who uses magic and those who disbelieve in the prophets whiles knowing that their miracles were from the Transcendent himself.

Servants of Allah, no prophet came without a special miracle to serve as a base upon which his Ummah will be guided. So was the PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH given a miracle.
Alot of miracles did the most noble of mankind and the best of creatures performed through Allah's will.
For instance,
1.Splitting of the moon

2.Isra and Mi'raj (Night Journey)
This is when malayka Gabriel took the prophet Muhammad PBUH from Masjid Haram to masjid Aqswa and from there, acsended the heavens to receive the number of Salaah to be performed daily by his Ummah.
Allah mentioned this isperational journey in surah Israa verse 1 and other verses. Allah says
Surah Al-Isra, Verse 1:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3.The events which occurred during his Hegira (migration from Mecca to Medina ):
When he PBUH intended to migrate and join his companions in Madina. The leaders of Quraish plated to take him by surprise with ten men each from ten different families. Their intention was to assassinate the prophet PBUH but the prophet made them slept off whiles he passed by them sprinkling Sand on their heads as he recites the Quran.

4.In many times, he provided good and water supernatural to his companions. Example is when on the day he PBUH and his companions were digging a trench with hunger. The prophet PBUH was given three pieces of days and he placed them in is cloth and all the companions ate the full and some were still remaining.... 

5.He caused two trees to move at his command.

6.He threw a hand full of sand on the enemies buying th battles of Badr and Hunain which blinded the enemies and caused their defeat. 

7. Other creatures use to greet him before and after he was given prophethood.

8.He comforted a palm tree that was crying and upset after he stopped leaning on it during his sermons. ...

9. Muhammad did not cast a shadow, interpreted as a sign of his "light"

10.His prophecies...
For instance, He predicted to Suraqa bin Malik that he would wear the bracelets of Korea. And many more...

We can't end our presentation this night if we are to put present all his miracles. So let us move on.

Now, what is the main miracle of the prophet Muhammad PBUH?...
His main miracle that was given was the Qur’aan.
QURAN is literally similar to QIRAA'AH, both derived from the word QARA'A which refers to "READ".
In addition, the QURAN has been attributed to the book which was revealed to our beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH through his noble companion, Malayka Gabriel.
1. Servants of Allah, The word QUR'AAN is mentioned in the book itself in many occasions.
For instance, Allah says
Surah Al-Isra, Verse 9:
إِنَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا

Surely this Quran guides to that which is most upright and gives good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a great reward.

2. Other names has also been used to describe the book. For instance THE FURQAAN(THE DISTINCTION)
Allah says ;
Surah Al-Furqan, Verse 1:
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا

Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan upon His servant that he may be a warner to the nations...

3. THE QURAN has also been referred to as DHIKR(THE REMINDER)

Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 9:
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ

Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian.
The QURAN is a direct word to word sayings of Allah to his servants. Both in wording and it's meaning. And was revealed miraculously and in rhythmical form to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH and to mankind in General.
As Allah intend not but only good things for his Ummah, the recitation of the QURAN  serves as a form of worship. As reported by Ibn Mas'ood; that the prophet pbuh said; "Whoever reads a letter from Allah's book will get a good deed and each good deed is worth ten times in it value. And I am not saying that ALIF, LAAM, MEEM is a letter, but ALIF is a letter, LAAM is a letter and MEEM is a letter."

The QURAN is the last and final message from Allah to mankind and it was revealed in a unique form. Completely different from world books.
It does not include introduction, explanation and conclusion neither does it talks about only a historical events or problems of philosophy or  facts of science etc.
Different topics are missed up and scattered all within it and does not follow systematically like any normal worldly book. This generate some thoughts in the minds of the one who does not understand it that the QURAN is disorganized, and yes it looks so.
But to the one who understands it's subject matter, aim and theme, it's well organized.
May Allah help us. Aaaamen.

  The SUBJECT MATTER & THEME
The QURAN has :man in relation to  Allah, man in relation to himself and man in relation to other creatures as it's subject matter.
The main theme has to do with the call to the belief in only Allah as our Lord and the performance of good deeds.
Even dough we can't deal details into the topic but the reader of the Qur’aan needs to assume these facts so to avoid confusion.

     MIRACLE OF THE QUR'AAN

Due to difficulty in communication and transportation, the earlier prophets were sent to the people of which they were raised.
When mankind submits to others other than Allah through ignorance, and others submit to a follow human through force.
The miracles given to the Prophets were powerful and the people inability to imitate them gives an outstanding prove that the source is from Allah which intern gives one a reason to submit to Allah...
For instance when in a challenge, prophet MUSAH A. S won Fir'awn and that gave his people a clear prove about Allah's oneness. The prophet came at the time of magic and Allah gave him a powerful miracle.
Allah says
‘So Musa (Moses) conceived a fear in himself. We (Allah) said: “Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.  “And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s trick, and the magician will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (ofskill) he may attain.” ‘ – Surah TaHa, ayaat 67 – 69

Prophet Isa A. S came at the time of healing and Allah blessed him with the best of healing.

The prophet Isaa A. S also performed Alot of miracle but his main miracle was healing, for instance....
"And We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear miracles" (Quran 2:87)

Healing the Blind and the Leper
"I also heal the blind and the leper." (Quran 3:49)

The Resurrection of the Dead
"…and I bring to life the dead, by the permission of God." (Quran 3:49)

The prophet Muhammad PBUH was sent to mankind as a whole and from his time till the end time. So Allah gave him a miracle that will pose some kind of a challenge in the minds of mankind till the last day.
In addition, Allah even dough gave him some miracles that was directed to his time.. But the QURAN was his main miracle.
Abu Bakar narrates that the prophet pbuh said :
"All prophets were given something which would cause people to believe in them. The thing which I was given is none other than a revelation. So I hope that I will have the most followers on the judgement day."

The Arabs were Globally known with their great alloquence and always organized competitions to exhibit themselves.
The QUR’AAN apart from its unique form, It's a great miracle where, the prophet pbuh challenge the people of Quraysh to produce similar words which they couldn't.

1.The challenge to produce the whole Qur’aan.
(17:88)
قُل لَّئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَىٰ أَن يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا
Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others.
2 . the challenge to produce ten similar suras when they failed to produce the whole Qur’aan.
(11:13)
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِ مُفْتَرَيَاتٍ وَادْعُوا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Or, do they say: He has forged it. Say: Then bring ten forged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.

3. The challenge to produce one Sura when they failed to produce ten.
(10:38)
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِّثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: Then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.

Servants of Allah, Alot of blood shared could have been avoided if they were able to produce a single chapter with just 2 or 3 verses.

The Quran is so inspirational to extent that the one who listens becomes immerse in it and can based on that and turn to believe in Allah if he is a disbeliever.
For instance, one the stood in from of his people a and recited suratul-Najm and at the end of the Sura when the prophet said  Verse 62)
فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا
So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him).
All of them postdated, both believers and non-believers. Only for the nonbelievers to rise and realised that it was indeed the recitation if the QURAN that made them to prostrate and they claimed that it was magic.
  Oo servants of Allah, The QUR’AAN is so great that Allah stated that even mountains could not be able to receive it.
Surah Al-Hashr, Verse 21:
لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect.
My people, there are so much importance of the recitation of the Qur’aan. But i wouldn't like to pour so much on you to make it difficult to read.

1 . the QURAN serves as  medicine for both the one who listens and the one who recites.

2.The closest a man will be to the QURAN is the closest he is to Allah.

3.One gain easy life from the recitation of some chapters.

4.One can avoid poverty by the recitation of the Qur’aan.

5. The recitation and pondering of its meanings is a means for entering into paradise.

Ooooh servants of Allah, haven't you loss Alot when you can't read and understand the Quran?....
I therefore entreat myself and you to learn the recitation and the science of the Qur’aan in other to gain it's benefits.

All praises are due to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Maker of the angels, apostles flying on wings, two, and three, and four; He increases in creation what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things. And praises to Allah for given us Islam and the Quran.
May Allah grant us the ability to read and understand the Qur’aan
Let's end here... Wassalamu alaikum
