Expressing the term "ayah" instead of "mu'jizah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the difference between the hypocrite and the sincere person, and which is more correct: Is the term "ayah" or "mu'jizah" used for the miracles of the prophets?
There is a difference between the one who shows off and the sincere one, no matter what. No matter how the one who shows off pretends to have piety, Allah the Exalted will expose him. But you just mentioned the word *mu'jizah* (prophetic miracle), and the correct thing is that it is not said: *mu'jizah*; rather, it is said: *ayah* (sign), because there is not a single letter in the Qur'an or the Sunnah where the signs of the prophets are called *mu'jizat* (prophetic miracles) at all. So it is an *ayah*, and *ayah* is more indicative of the intended meaning than *mu'jizah*. A *mu'jizah* can come even from sorcerers; even a sorcerer can bring *mu'jizat*, but the *ayah* of his truth is what came: "Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs" [Al-Hadid: 25], meaning: with clear signs.And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Allah did not send a prophet except that He brought him what by which people would believe in his like) Therefore, if Allah wills, erase the word *mu'jizah* from your dictionary, and do not be deceived by the fact that it is found frequently in books. The Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) pointed this out in his book *Al-Nubuwwat* and clarified that the correct thing is to say: *ayah* instead of *mu'jizah*.
