In a nutshell, if the words appearing on the child were leading away from Islam or stating something that was 99.99% truth but polluted with 0.01% lies thencertainly there would be cause to doubt this event. But thus far nothing witnessed has been anything other than what is in the Quran. The only thing to be wary of is what Muslims from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh often succumb to – deityfing persons and worshiping them instead of Allah Subhanotalah. So I hope Muslims can extract some good from this event and not begin worshiping the poor child.

Salam,

“the type of story people get excited about and feel is a sign of the truth of Islam”
I think therein lies the problem. It is the lack of knowledge coupled with the weakness of faith that leads alot of people to clinging on to such often ridiculous stories. It is a justification for the religion as if it needs one!

Great article!

as salaamu alaykum,

Br Mike – To read more about that particular story you can read the original article in the link cited in the footnote. I mentioned it because it is the latest story being sent around in email, etc – the type of story people get excited about and feel is a sign of the truth of Islam. The main point of my article is that people should consider these stories more carefully, and look at them from the broader perspective of Islamic principles and what we know of miracles from the Quran, hadith, etc. Perhaps if you re-read the article, especially the last few paragraphs, you will see what I’m getting at, inshaAllah.

Maghi85 – I’m not sure what you are referring to. Could you please share with us the hadith that you have in mind?

wasalaamu alaykum

i don’t think it would be wise to relate the Koran boy with those other miracles…
the Koran boy story is a sign of the end of times and some hadith relates it as well
7 of them will come… this according to the calculations of some scholars is the 5th

Good topic!! Thanks for bringing it up. I get those emails every week with a picture of the egg with Allah on it or the Australian tree making sujood!! You should see how many youtube videos there are dedicated to those pictures with nasheed playing in the background! It’s like you said, while miracles do exist, the greatest miracle is Islam and our relationship with our Creator.

As-salamu alaikum,

Thank you very much for this piece sister. I have been telling people for a long time that if you want miracles of Islam. Read the Qur’an and Sunnah and you will find thousands of miracles. We should always be suspect of any outrageous claim purported through pictures or agenda based internet sites (even Muslim ones). The russian baby one is interesting and hasn’t been proven wrong so maybe its true. Allah knows best. I have, myself, in research proven many of these to be wrong. The thing with many of these things – other than the baby- seemingly making Arabic words is that Arabic is a language which has the effect of lines arranged in an unsophisticated manner so you can often read into it what you like. Especially if you appreciate the beautiful science of caligraphy. Maybe you can remember when coca cola bottles said No God No Muhammad or whatever. The problem with this is that when these things are proven wrong it is like Islam is being proven wrong so let’s not put our faith in these. lets put our faith in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Allah knows best

I don’t get the point of this article? Is “Koran boy” a fictitious bad thing or made up?
What the point? What do you mean to convey?
