The answer

Several proofs attest to the truth of Islam and the veracity of Prophet Muhammad's prophethood, peace and blessings be upon him. These include: the testimony of human nature (fitra) which aligns with Islam's call; the rational proofs whose texts contain nothing that reason would reject; the miracles and extraordinary signs with which Allah supported the Prophet, such as water gushing from between his fingers; the prophecies he foretold which came to pass exactly as he stated; the perfect characteristics and noble attributes of the Prophet; the essence of his call to monotheism and the eradication of polytheism; the glad tidings of his coming found in the scriptures of previous prophets; and finally, the miraculous nature of the Holy Quran in its eloquence, legislation, predictions of the unseen, and its challenge to humanity to produce anything like it.
