Why No Signs And Miracles For Bani Ismael?
Defending traditional explanation of miracles is extremely difficult if not impossible. We have to resort to bit of brainwashing, occult science, religious enthusiasm and emotions. Hypothetically speaking if a world disaster similar to Noah flood happened and everything reset. A God’s revelation came and mentioned Prophet Muhammad PBUH success in few lines like “A moon appeared over the land of Arabian Peninsula and flooded the peninsula and the whole world with its light”. Few people may dig into history and may look for rational explanation or take it literally. Frankly I do not understand why it makes any difference “How” exactly miracles happened ? Did they happen following laws of nature or by breaking the laws of nature. Qurans talk about signs and points toward human incapacity to comprehend actual reality without resorting to speculation. Success of our prophet is a sign and so is Quran if we try to dig in to deeper meanings of its ayats (signs). I have to make a choice how to explain miracles to my kids. Go traditional way and let them grow and keep struggling with different way to think when it comes to religion versus the world around them Or explain it to them what we know for sure and let them decide for themselves.
