THE SEVENTEENTH SIGN
The greatest miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) after the Qur’an is his own self. That is, he possessed the highest moral virtues, and both friends and enemies agree that he was at the highest level in each of these virtues. Even the brave hero, Hazrat Ali, repeatedly said: “When the battle became terrifying, we would take refuge behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and find comfort.” And indeed, he was at an unparalleled and unattainable level in all noble virtues. We refer to this great miracle in the respected work of the scholar of the Maghreb, Judge Iyaz, called "Shifa-i Sharif." The truth is, that self and that great moral miracle have been beautifully explained and proven.
Moreover, this great and confirmed by both friends and enemies, miracle of the Ahmadi (peace and blessings be upon him), is the supreme religion, which has no equal, past or future. We refer to the expression of one level of this great miracle to all thirty-three Say, thirty-three Letters, thirty-one Lem’s, and thirteen Shu’s that we have written.
Also, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has a confirmed and certain great miracle, the splitting of the moon.
Indeed, this splitting of the moon is a miracle that is reported through multiple chains of narration. It was reported through numerous chains from many of the esteemed Companions, such as Ibn Masud, Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Imam Ali, Anas, and Hzayfa. In addition, the Qur’anic verse, “The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split,” has announced this great miracle to the world. The stubborn idolaters of Quraysh at that time did not deny the news given by this verse, but perhaps only said, “It is magic.” Thus, even the disbelievers acknowledged the splitting of the moon as a certainty. We refer to this great miracle, the splitting of the moon, to the treatise on the splitting of the moon appended to the Thirty-First Say that we have written.

The other: The recurring miracle of the tree, the plant, and the animal is established by authentic and repeated reports. It is said that the spiritual life in guidance has spread to the community and the animal kingdom, thus bringing forth speech. The weeping of the tree in the honorable pulpit, that is, the weeping of that tree, is a well-known and widely reported phenomenon.
Some also say that a small amount of food is sufficient, which is established by a well-known and authentic report. Many times, a small amount of food has sufficed for a large gathering, so much so that they remained without any deficiency.
Some also say that the revival of the offspring is related to the healing of the sick. Many aspects of this have been fully explained by authentic traditions and verified books, so we have been concise. Judge Iyaz has beautifully detailed the miracle in his respected "Shifa," and Al-Kastalani has detailed it in "Mawahib al-Laduniyya."

O seeker of truth! With a broad mind and a penetrating gaze, consider the seven heavens as a surrounding circle or a towering wall, and behold the Prophethood of Muhammad as the center within it! So that from one side, the false accusations may be confronted and repelled by the opposing sides. This is the condition of the Japanese question:
2 مَا الدَّلِيلُ الْوَاضِحُ عَلٰى وُجُودِ وَوَحْدَةِ اْلاِلٰهِ الَّذِى تَدْعُونَناَ اِلَيْهِ against which we say: Here is...

A divine gift and a work of Allah's compassion
And we say this in accordance with the meaning of the verse:
"I will speak of the grace of my Lord."
I will mention the work of Allah's compassion and mercy in the composition of this treatise, so that those who read this treatise may look upon it with importance.
Indeed, the composition of this treatise was not in my heart at all. Because treatises on the Ahmediyya (a.s.m.) had already been written, the thirty-first and nineteenth treatises. Suddenly, an irresistible memory came to the heart to write this treatise.
My memory power had already weakened due to the effects of calamities. Also, in my field, I had not written my works by copying or by hand. Also, I do not have the hadith and siyer books with me. Nevertheless, I began with the words "I put my trust in Allah."
Such a success occurred that my memory helped more than the memory of the old Said. Every two or three hours, thirty to forty pages were written quickly. Fifteen pages were written in one hour. Mostly, they were cited from books such as Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Beyhaki, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Al-Shifa, Abu Nuaym, and Tafsir al-Tabari. Indeed, since an error in narration would be a sin because it is a hadith, my heart trembled. However, it became clear that there was compassion and that this treatise was needed. God willing, it has been written correctly. If there is any mistake in the wording of the hadith or in the names of the narrators, I ask my brothers to overlook them with tolerance and to correct them.
Said Nursi
Yes, we were writing the draft. Our teacher was also reciting. He had no books with him; he did not refer to any. Suddenly, he recited very quickly, and we wrote it down. In two or three hours, we wrote thirty to forty pages, even more. We also came to the conclusion that this success is a miracle of the Prophetic miracles.
