Yes, according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad performed many miracles with God's permission.
Islamic texts and traditions describe numerous miracles attributed to Prophet Muhammad. These are generally considered signs of his prophethood and divine favor. These miracles serve as evidence of his connection with God and the truthfulness of his message.
Here are some examples:
- Splitting of the Moon: One of the most well-known miracles involves the splitting of the moon. The unbelievers in Mecca challenged Prophet Muhammad to perform a miracle. In response, God split the moon into two parts and then rejoined them. This event is mentioned in the Quran (Surah Al-Qamar, 54:1-2) and is supported by numerous hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet).
- The Night Journey (Isra) and Ascension (Miraj): The Prophet Muhammad journeyed from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night and then ascended through the heavens, meeting previous prophets and ultimately standing in the presence of God. This miraculous event is considered a profound spiritual experience and a testament to his unique status.
- Water Flowing from His Fingers: On multiple occasions, when the Muslim army faced a shortage of water, the Prophet Muhammad placed his hands in a vessel, and water miraculously flowed from between his fingers, enough to satisfy the thirst of the entire army.
- Healing the Sick and Injured: There are accounts of the Prophet Muhammad healing the sick and injured through prayer and touch, demonstrating divine healing power.
- Increasing Small Amounts of Food: It is reported that on various occasions, small amounts of food were miraculously increased to feed large groups of people when blessed by the Prophet Muhammad.
- Protecting From Danger: Various accounts tell of Muhammad being protected from dangers, either through natural phenomena or the intervention of angles, like in the cave when migrating to Medina.
- Prophecies: Muhammad also made predictions about the future, some of which came true, indicating his divine guidance.
It is important to note that miracles in Islam are understood as signs of God's power manifested through the prophets. They are not considered acts of magic or inherent abilities of the Prophet himself.
