HOLY PROPHET BUT A MAN ;
HIM LIMITATIONS
While
the Qur'an bears testimony to the sublimity of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon Him) character, and records some of the miracles performed by him and
the special favours conferred on him by Allah, it makes him tell the pagans,
again and again, that he was no more than a man like them but he received
revelation (wahyi) from Allah (17:93 ; 18:10 ; 41:6) ; that he was a mortal and
would die like them (39:30) ; that he did not claim to be an angel (6:50) ;
that he did not know exactly when the Hour of judgment would come and its
knowledge was with Allah alone (7:187) ; that he had no knowledge of the unseen
- ghaib - beyond that which Allah had told him (6:50 ; 7:188 ; 10:20) ; that he
had no power to control any benefit or harm to himself except as Allah please
(7:188) ; that he did not in his power to cause them evil or bring them good
(72:21) that he could not guide every
one whom he loved and it is Allah Who gives guidance (28:56) ; and that
he could not change the revelation received by him from Allah (10:15 ; 7:203).
There are a number of other to show that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
upon Him) did not claim to posses any supernatural powers of his own
