The Reality of Saintly Miracles

Once during a famine, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم felt hunger. This led to Lady Fāṭima رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا sending two flatbreads and a portion of meat to him, in a pot. The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then took this gift to her and said, “Come here, my daughter.”

When she opened this pot, she was amazed to see it filled with meat and bread. The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked:

اَ نّٰی لَکِ ھٰذَا ؟

Where did you get all of this?

She replied:

ہُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰہِ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَاءُ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ

It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah grants sustenance to whomsoever He wills, without account.

He then gathered ꜤAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, Ḥasan, Ḥusayn, and other members of the Ahl al-Bayt رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم. These illustrious personalities then all ate together.^{^[1]}

Fruit from a barren tree

Dear Islamic brothers! Another miracle of Lady Maryam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْہا has also been mentioned in the Quran. When Prophet ꜤĪsā’s time of birth approached, Lady Maryam was alone and needed something to eat. Near her lay a dry date-palm branch, which did not even have any leaves upon it. Lady Maryam was commanded with the following:

وَ ہُزِّیْۤ اِلَیْکِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَۃِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَیْکِ رُطَبًا جَنِیًّا (۲۵)

And grasp the date-palm, shaking it towards yourself, it shall drop fresh, ripe
