Why did God grant Jesus, peace be upon him, more miracles than He granted Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, even though Prophet Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah performed miracles through the prophets of old as proof of their truthfulness. The miracle of Moses, peace be upon him, was the nullification of magic, and the miracle of Jesus, peace be upon him, was healing the sick and raising the dead. The miracles of the previous prophets were tangible and limited in time and place. As for Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, Allah granted him two types of miracles: tangible ones, witnessed by those who lived during his time, and an everlasting, intellectual, intangible miracle, which is the Holy Quran. He challenged humans and jinn to produce anything like it, and they failed, which indicates the universality and perpetuity of his miracle. For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There was no prophet among the prophets but was given what was similar to that upon which mankind believed. But what I was given was a Revelation which Allah revealed to me, so I hope that I will have the most followers on the Day of Resurrection."
