13 April 1907 245 The Miracles of the Holy Prophet s as 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 Moses as 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: 1 َتْيَاَر َساَّنلا َنْوُلُخْدَي ْيِف ِنْيِد ِهّٰللا اًجاَوْفَا َتْيَاَر َساَّنلا َنْوُلُخْدَي ْيِف ِنْيِد ِهّٰللا اًجاَوْفَا that is, having seen troops upon troops entering the Religion of Allah. The second miracle is the moral change [the Prophet s as brought about], that at first they were: 2 َكِٕىٰٓلوُا ِماَعْنَاْلاَك ْلَب ْمُه ُّلَضَا َكِٕىٰٓلوُا ِماَعْنَاْلاَك ْلَب ْمُه ُّلَضَا worse than the quadrupeds and then: 3 َنْوُتْيِبَي ْمِهِّبَرِل اًدَّجُس َّو اًماَيِق َنْوُتْيِبَي ْمِهِّبَرِل اًدَّجُس َّو اًماَيِق they became the ones who spent their nights in observing Prayers. 1.
