The Essence of Islam – Volume V — Page 18
18. Essence of Islam-V demand other similarly unreasonable and absurd phenomena that are far removed from the Will of God. [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, part 5, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 21, pp. 44-46]. Miracles are, in fact, like moonlight which is partly obscured by clouds. This light is of no use to a person who is night-blind, and, therefore, cannot see anything at night. In this world miracles have never been, nor shall ever be, manifested in the way as they will be manifested in the hereafter. For example it can never happen that two or three hundred people rise from the dead, and they should have with them both the fruits of paradise and the flames of hellfire, and they should go from town to town testifying to the truth of a Prophet, who is at that moment present among his people, and the people should recognize these people as the dead who have been brought back to life; and that the latter should raise a commotion with their sermons and lectures that this person who claims to be a Prophet is true in his claim. . Remember that such miracles have never been shown, nor will they ever be shown till the Day of Judgement. . Anyone who claims that such miracles have ever been shown, is simply deluded by baseless myths and is totally unaware of the ways of God. Had such miracles ever happened, this world would cease to be what it is, and all veils would have been lifted, and faith would not have deserved any reward whatsoever.
