What are miracles?
Miracles are proof of the Divine Being!
They manifest His existence and His might.
There are two ways to observe a miracle.
1. Observe a miracle and then believe like the people of Moses.
2. Believe and then observe the miracle like people of Noah.
In the first scenario, people are shown a miracle that leaves no doubt in the minds of the observers. Although, there are always those who still deny the truth even after the evidence is revealed, many convert after witnessing a miracle. These kinds of miracles are extraordinary and rare in occurrence.
Messengers and Prophets were given miracles to authenticate their preachings. Some miracles were given without a request and some were revealed on asking, like the she camel of Prophet Saleh (Biblical, Salah). When such extraordinary miracles are revealed to a nation in order to remove all doubt, then fates are sealed following their occurrence. Nations provoked Almighty's wrath and were destroyed when they still denied after witnessing the miracles. Pharaoh and his people against Moses is one such example.
The second scenario involves lesser degree of miracles. Here a person recognizes the Sovereignty of Almighty and believes in Him without witnessing an extraordinary miracle. This belief actually opens the believer's eyes to all sorts of miracles around him. Ordinary things appear extraordinary. He is not able to take anything for granted any more. Each and everything becomes a proof of God Almighty for him. His belief becomes the guiding light that removes all darkness and expands his vision. In this scenario, the belief is not conditional upon witnessing a miracle but gains strength by analyzing and marveling at each tiny miracle.
Be a believer & believe in miracles!
