13 APRIL 1907 The Miracles of the Holy Prophetsas The miracle of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that is greater than millions of miracles, is that he fulfilled the purpose of his advent before he passed away. This is such an unparalleled success that its precedent can- not be found perfectly in any other Prophet. Prophet Mosesas passed away while still on his way [to the Promised Land] and the [degree of] success of Jesus is evident from the behaviour of his disciples. Indeed, only the Holy Prophet had the honour that when he departed: رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللهِ أَفْوَاجًا ! that is, having seen troops upon troops entering the Religion of Allah. The second miracle is the moral change [the Prophetsas brought about], that at first they were: أُولَئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ 2 worse than the quadrupeds and then: يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَ قِيَامًا 245 they became the ones who spent their nights in observing Prayers. 1.
