Can you guys tell me what all the miracles associated with Muhammad were? Thanks.
 
Prophet Muhammad’s Miracles

The Quran, The splitting of the moon, water flowing from between his fingers, increasing the quantity of food and water, the glorification of the food, the palm tree yearning for him, stones greeting him, the talking of the poisoned leg [of roasted sheep], trees walking towards him, two trees that were far apart coming together and then parting again, the barren [and therefore dry] sheep giving milk, his returning the eye of Qatadah bin an-Numan to its place with his hand after it had slipped out, his spitting lightly into the eye of Ali when it had become inflamed and its being cured almost immediately, his wiping the leg of Abdullah bin `Atiq whereupon he was immediately cured.

I guess I mean like extraordinary medical miracles. Such as Padre Pio bilocating (being in two places at once), helping a man see out of the eye socket where there was no eye (this was documented by an atheist, later converted), supposedly raising a baby from dead after being dead from more than 24 hours, a woman being cured from cancer immediately after visiting his resting place…
 
well you should of stated that you where comparing him to Father Pio…as to those types of miracles…I guess I will have to let a Muslim reply to this:)

But I would think that these:

  1. *]*the barren [and therefore dry] sheep giving milk, *
    *]his returning the eye of Qatadah bin an-Numan to its place with his hand after it had slipped out* *]*his spitting lightly into the eye of Ali when it had become inflamed and its being cured almost immediately* *]*his wiping the leg of Abdullah bin `Atiq whereupon he was immediately cured.

    fit that category…no?
 
Hay!!! we forgot convincing millions of good people the Jesus was not the Son of God, and that Christianity was a fraud. That is a demon inspired miracle. Mohamed was a bad man. He was a false prophet and a lier. Our Church teaches so.

WHAT CHURCH MAY THAT BE? AND PLEASE PROVIDE PROOF OF THIS.
 
I’ll do better than that. Read the koran for yourself. I recommend the Oxford edition. It is a good English translation. Then read everything you can find on the false prophet Mohamed’s life. For starters I recommend Will Durant’s “Age of Faith”. Then read the catechism as well as everything you can find on the first 1000 years of Christianity. When you have done that get back to me. But by then you’ll know.

Guidelines for posting on religious discussions:

Members are not allowed to be disrespectful of anyone’s faith or religion, whether it is Catholicism or not. If a member is disrespectful, he will generally be counseled first and suspended if he persists in disrespectful postings.

If the nature of an initial posting is blatantly disrespectful to any religion (e.g., “the pope is the anti-Christ” or “Rome is the Whore of Babylon” or “Muslims are terrorists”), suspension may be immediate and without prior counseling.

Members are free to discuss, dialogue, question, disagree with, and debate the doctrines and dogmas of both Catholicism and non-Catholic religions. However, all discourse must be civil and charitable.

Guidelines
For both Catholic and non-Catholic posters:
  • It is acceptable to question the doctrine or dogma of another’s faith
  • It is never acceptable to question the sincerity of an individual’s beliefs
  • Bringing up historical controversies peculiar to a particular religion should be done cautiously*
  • It is acceptable to discuss the effect the incident had on current policy or practice.
  • It is acceptable to seek the truth vs. commonly-held beliefs or conventional wisdom about actual events.
  • It is fallacious reasoning to use embarrassing incidents to claim that they “prove” a particular religion is false.
  • Expecting members of any Church to defend or answer for the excesses or extremism of bodies that have broken with it is a technique that has no merit and can’t be defended.
*It is our observation that discussion of such past events rarely serves a useful purpose and inevitably opens a thread to posts that violate forum rules and/or the bounds of civil discourse. So, while such threads may be useful, they raise a red flag for the Moderation staff.

Are they from the Quran or the Hadith?

How reliable is the Hadith?

As my handy dandy Quran is not available I can not check if these are in the Quran…or if they are from the Hadith.
As to how reliable the Hadith (Sayings and practices of Mohammed. They were collected after his death) is I would say that a Muslim would say reliable…I mean how reliable are the books in the NT which where written after Jesus?

the Quran - self explanitory.

splitting of the moon - mentioned in the Quran. see soorah 54.

the rest are mentioned in various hadeeths.

without seeing the exact references and checking on the hadeeths’ gradings i can’t tell you for sure. but some of them are authentic, such as the one that mentions the leg of lamb speaking, the one about him putting his companion’s eye back in its place and others…

Looking at your profile you state you are a Muslim. If you know the answers to where these things could be found…why ask?
**can you perhaps supply other miracles that are attributted to Muhammad(pbhm). **

ask what? i wasn’t asking any questions. i was stating that without knowing the exact references to the hadeeths that mention these miracles, i cannot check the gradings and tell reuben which ones are authentic and which ones are not.

Well ok. If it in the Quran or the hadith … have to take them as face value. But where does this lead us?

I think a more pertinent question would be - what are the significance of miracles to the teaching of Muhammad and his life as compared to Jesus? If I originate this thread that would be what I’m more interested in.

it’s obvious, even with my little knowledge of the Quran and Islamic history, that miracles has no significance to Islam and Muhammad. In other words, miracles were not described as drawing crowds to Muhammad. They did not have effect on how people treated him or how he spread his message.

eg. the ‘splitting of the moon’ … Surah 54:1 the hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder… Many Muslims believe the moon literally split in half and appeared as two pieces in the sky. The date is thought to be in Mecca about 5 years before hijra. However, no reference is made to this miracle when Muhammad was challenged to deliver a sign. This is an unsolved problem.

Just as Jesus was popular because of his healings, he was also sought after because of miracles that he performed.

Jesus used his miracles as a sign that he was God, particularly for his followers. He also performed miracles out of compasion for the people.

Muhammad did not teach his followers to pray for healing or miracles.

Jesus expected his followers to do the same healings and miracles that he did and more… And his followers just did that (healings).
