Allah SWT has strengthened Prophet Jesus with the
Holy Spirit (Ruhul Qudus) since birth. According to some opinions, the Holy
Spirit is the Angel Gabriel. The Holy Spirit always accompanied and defended
Prophet Jesus in struggling to uphold the truth. Prophet Jesus preached to the
Jews to want to go back to the right path according to the command of Allah
SWT. To strengthen the proof of the truth of the teachings that brought by
Prophet Jesus, Allah SWT gave miracles to him so that people would believe. The
miracles (mukjizat) of Prophet Jesus are indeed extraordinary and are beyond
human reason. The following are some of the miracles of Prophet Jesus as stated
in several verses of the Qur'an.
Surah Al Maidah verse 110:
إِذۡ
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱذۡكُرۡ نِعۡمَتِي عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلَىٰ
وَٰلِدَتِكَ إِذۡ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ
وَكَهۡلٗاۖ وَإِذۡ عَلَّمۡتُكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَۖ
وَإِذۡ تَخۡلُقُ مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيَۡٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ بِإِذۡنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا
فَتَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِيۖ وَتُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ بِإِذۡنِيۖ
وَإِذۡ تُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِيۖ وَإِذۡ كَفَفۡتُ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ
عَنكَ إِذۡ جِئۡتَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنۡ
هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ١١٠
110. [The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus,
Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported
you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in
maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and
the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird
with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My
permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when
you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the
Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs
and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious
magic."
The verse explains the five miracles of Prophet
Jesus. First, Prophet Jesus was able to speak to people since he was in the
cradle. He was created without a father. In his words, Jesus explained that he
was the messenger of Allah SWT. The people who heard it were divided into two,
some were believers and some were broken.
Secondly, Allah SWT has taught Prophet Jesus about
the true Torah because the contents of the original Torah were changed by
disbelieving Jews. Allah SWT also sent down the Gospel (Injil) to Prophet Jesus
to justify the previous book, the Torah. According to history, the Gospel was
revealed on the eighteenth night of Ramadan and at that time Prophet Jesus was
thirty years old.
Third, Prophet Jesus was able to make birds from
clay and can live by blowing the clay. Fourth, Prophet Jesus was able to heal
people who were blind from birth and no one was able to treat it. Prophet Jesus
was also able to heal people suffering from hairpiece (white streaks on the
skin) which sometimes had to be amputated.
Fifth, Prophet Jesus was able to revive the dead.
There are many stories about this miracle.
That said, the first time Prophet Jesus revive the
dead was when he saw a woman crying near the grave of her daughter. The daughter is only the only child
of the that mother. The mother promised not to leave her daughter's grave
except until she felt death or Allah SWT turned her child back on. So Prophet
Jesus prayed two rak'ahs and called the girl's name three times. The body of the
child rose from his grave and came back to life. Prophet Jesus asked why he had
to call three times. The child said that during the first call, the angel
arranged her body intact. During the second call, the spirit was blown back to
her body. During the third call, she was afraid that the end of the day had
arrived so that her hair turned gray. Then the child explains to his mother
that her mother must be patient because the child has no business in the world
anymore. The child begged Prophet Jesus to pray to Allah SWT to be died again.
Then the child is dead again. The news reached the ears of the Jews. People who
deny are more hate the Prophet Jesus.
It is said that Prophet Jesus also revived Sam bin
Nuh through two rak'ah prayers. Sam bin Nuh had a story about Noah's ark before
dying again. He also once revived the king from the Children of Israel who
died. Prophet Jesus also had a friend named Azir. When Azir's mother told him
that Azir had died, Prophet Jesus revived Azir the next day.
Surah Al Maidah verses 112-115:
إِذۡ
قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ هَلۡ يَسۡتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن
يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا مَآئِدَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۖ قَالَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِن
كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٢ قَالُواْ نُرِيدُ
أَن نَّأۡكُلَ مِنۡهَا وَتَطۡمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَنَعۡلَمَ أَن قَدۡ صَدَقۡتَنَا
وَنَكُونَ عَلَيۡهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ
١١٣ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلۡ عَلَيۡنَا
مَآئِدَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدٗا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا
وَءَايَةٗ مِّنكَۖ وَٱرۡزُقۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ١١٤ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّي مُنَزِّلُهَا
عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بَعۡدُ مِنكُمۡ فَإِنِّيٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابٗا لَّآ
أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
١١٥
112. [And remember] when the disciples said,
"O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with
food] from the heaven? [Jesus] said," Fear Allah, if you should be
believers."
113. They said, "We wish to eat from it and
let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be
among its witnesses."
114. Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allah,
our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for
us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And
provide for us, and You are the best of providers."
115. Allah said, "Indeed, I will send it down
to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I
punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the
worlds."
Sixth, Prophet Jesus begged Allah SWT to bring down
dishes from heaven to Al Hawariyyin.
Surat Ali Imran verse 49:
وَرَسُولًا
إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنِّي قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بَِٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ
أَنِّيٓ أَخۡلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيَۡٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ
فَيَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ
وَأُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأۡكُلُونَ وَمَا
تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم
مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ٤٩
49. And [make him] a messenger to the Children of
Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord
in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird,
then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure
the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah.
And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in
that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
Seventh, Prophet Jesus was able to see hidden
objects and other unseen things even though he did not see them directly. Abu
Hudzaifah, Ishaq bin Bisyr has narrated with his own sanad from Ka'b Al Ahbar,
Wahb bin Munabbih, Ibn Abbas and Salman Al Farisiy. Their hadiths complement each
other. In essence, when Prophet Jesus preached to the Children of Israel, the
hypocrites and the infidels tried to approach Prophet Jesus, "What was
eaten by the Fulan last night and what he was saving?" Then Prophet Jesus
told them with right.
The Prophet's miracle was in harmony with the
conditions of his day. The scholars said, the miracle of Prophet Moses was in
accordance with the conditions of the people who at that time admired magic and
magicians. So Prophet Moses had miracles such as magic which actually
contradicted magic and aimed at fighting magic.
Prophet Jesus was sent during the time of the
emergence of physicians and wisdom experts. So Allah SWT gives miracles that
cannot be matched. There are no physicians or wisdom experts who are able to
cure blind people from birth, eliminate the disease of hairpiece, and even
bring to life the dead.
At the time of Prophet Jesus, the people at his
place were also materialistic and denied the spirit and resurrection day.
According to them, humans are only bodies without spirits. They assume that
blood is the "spirit" of man. Therefore, the miracles of Prophet
Jesus tried to show the spiritual realm. Prophet Jesus was born without a
father and his spirit was blown directly by the Creator. When making birds from
clay so that they can live, Prophet Jesus blew objects that initially did not
have that characteristic of life. Something that enters the object is not
physical, but it is a spirit that has intrinsic value. He also has a miracle to
bring to life those who have died. This shows the existence of spirit and
resurrection day. People who die whose bodies have been destroyed inside the
earth can come back to life and rise from their death with the permission of
Allah SWT.
