Many
miracles were performed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by God’s
permission. These miracles were witnessed by many people. For
example:
*
When the unbelievers in Makkah asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
to show them a miracle, he showed them the splitting of the
moon.1
*Another
miracle was the flowing of water through Muhammad’s(PBUH)
fingers when his companions got thirsty and had no water except
a little in a vessel. They came to him and told him that they
had no water to make ablution nor to drink except for what was
in the vessel. So, Muhammad (PBUH)
put his hand in the vessel, and the water started gushing out
between his fingers. So, they drank and made ablution. They
were one thousand five hundred companions.2
There
were also many other miracles that were performed by him or
which happened to him.
