The Signs and mira- cles that occurred during the time of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, were limited to the people of that era, and for this age, they are like, �ی�دہ ےک وبد امدنن ن � ش � د�ی�دہ [‘Hearsay is nothing like seeing the real thing’]. But as the reach of his s as prophethood is so vast, Almighty Allah, had, by His grace, reserved these miracles for this age, and they were 1. She-camels will be abandoned, and no one will travel upon them (S a hih Muslim, Kit a bul- I m a n, B a b Nuz u l ‘ I s a ibn Maryam Ha kiman bi Shar i‘ ati Nabiyyin a Muhammad s allall a hu ‘alaihi wa sallam, Hadith 243, D a rus-Sal a m Riy ad, second edition, 2000).
