Excerpt: Islam
defines a miracle as an extraordinary act or event that is contrary to the laws
of nature and can only come about through the direct intervention of God
Almighty Himself. The Arabic word for miracle is
mu’jizah. It stems
from the word
ajz, meaning something that incapacitates, cannot be resisted,
unique. According to Islam, miracles are performed by the permission of God,
by the Prophets of God. Miracles are not magic, which is by definition a trick
or illusion, nor is a miracle an event brought about by a learned righteous
people who are not Prophets of God. These events are called
karamahs.

Excerpt: This is not an
article about how to pray or when to pray, this can be found in other places,
it is instead a commentary on the power entrenched in the postures and phrases
of the prayer. In the previous article we looked at some of the benefits of
the postures imbedded in the prayer. We learned that the obligatory actions
benefit us in many ways, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Prayer
establishes and reinforces our connection to God; from it we gather numerous
blessings and benefits.
