Subhan Allah!
It was physically ‘impossible’ for Maryum(as) to be pregnant. It was ‘impossible’ for the sea to split in half for Prophet Musa and his people to escape the army behind them. It was impossible for Prophet Ibrahim to emerge unscathed from the fire that his people threw him into. It was ‘impossible’ for the Prophet Muhamnad(S.A.W.W) to travel to Al-Aqsa and ascend to heavens all in one night.
May peace be upon them all.
Sometimes we read about these miracles but we fail to connect them to our own existence.
“These miracles only hapoend in the past,” we might think. “It’s not realistic for us to hope for miracles in our own lives,” we might say.
Then, perhaps one day you’ll think that you’ll never experience happiness again after leaving someone you loved deeply. But you’ll feel joy again-and then you’ll realize how miraculous that feels. It’ though that Allah(swt) splits your heart into two, like the Red Sea and allow hope to emerge against all odds.
He’ll prevent the fire of you pain from consuming you. He will fill your mind with ideas and your heart with love and appreciation when you thought you had nothing left to give. He will fill your mind, body and heart with the kind of life that can only be explained as miraculous.
He will take you to places in your dreams and in your reality that you never imagined possible.
And yet we sometimes belive that miracles are all in the past.
We aren’t meant to read about the miracles of Allah and then just move on as though they’r stories of the past. We are meant to understand that the miracles of Allah are happening all the time, all around us and within us as well.
When you cry out in the middle of chaos of life-My Lord, show me a sign!-look within yourself. Remember every difficulty He saved you from. Remember when He healed you. Remember when He gave you the light to carry in the middle of the darkness.
Remember how you’ve survived so much only because of Him. You’re a miracle.
“We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves untill it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a witness?” (41:53)
