130 Miracles are like a seal of attestation that this is My servant and this is My Teaching. After that, there is no special person and no spe- cial attestation, and that enterprise is made to function ordinarily. Thus, according to your belief, his Excellency Muhammad s as was a Prophet of Allah, and Almighty Allah kept revealing the Quran to him through Gabriel. And it is right that in the beginning, it should happen thus. But now, the followers of his Excellency Muhammad s as are spreading this teaching and religion, and not Muhammad s as himself, and the Qurans are being published through printing and not through angels. Ninth— Why did Lord Jesus refuse to show miracles? Regarding this Mr [Abdullah] Atham spoke briefly already. Even at that time he did not refuse but told them that they would see the Sign of Prophet Jonah. You did not read this out, that just as he remained three days in the belly of the fish, so would the son of Adam also remain three days in the womb of the earth. He gave them the Sign of his death, burial, and resurrection and there has never been any miracle greater than this in the world, and he showed that miracle ( John 21:25). The Apostle says that he accomplished many other works, and what reference does he give for his work? Please see John 14:11. Tenth— You ask why he did not come down from the cross. How should he have come down? He had come into the world for that very task to offer atonement for the world. Similarly, Satan had asked him to bake bread from stones. He neither did this nor that, because each of these deeds involved the worship of Satan. You suggest that if he had come down from the cross, the Jews would have believed in him immediately. How exactly do you know this? Having witnessed which other miracle had they believed in him, and did they believe in him after seeing him resurrected? My distinguished sir, faith is not created through any miracle. Was
