Description from the publisher:
The Prophet's Miracles is a selection from Ibn Kathir's Al-Bidayah wan-Nihaya. During his preaching, the Prophet was often called upon to demonstrate miracles. And, he did oblige those who demanded like the splitting of the moon. However, certain miracles were part of his mission like the Quran. Allah revealed it to him and it is a lasting miracle till the end of the world. Then, there are so many things that he said will happen as also the signs of the Last Day. We see many of them coming true as others will take place. Miracles of other Prophets have also been narrated. At the same time, Ibn Kathir (RA) has sifted the fabricated accounts which have found themselves in books of Sirah.
Ismail ibn Kathir (Arabic: ??? ????) was an Islamic scholar. His full name is Abu Al-Fida, 'Imad Ad-Din Isma'il bin 'Umar bin Kathir al-Qurashi al-Busrawi. He was born in 1301 in Busra, Syria (hence al-Busrawi). He was taught by the great scholar Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya in Damascus, Syria and Abu al-Hajjaj Al-Mizzi, (d. 1373), main teacher of Ibn Kathir. Upon completion of his studies he obtained his first official appointment in 1341, when he joined an inquisitorial commission formed to determine certain questions of heresy. Thereafter he received various semi-official appointments, culminating in June/July 1366 with a professorial position at the Great Mosque of Damascus. Ibn Kathir wrote a famous commentary on the Qur'an named Tafsir ibn Kathir which linked certain Hadith, or sayings of Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace), and sayings of the sahaba to verses of the Qur'an, in explanation. Tafsir Ibn Kathir is famous all over the Muslim world and among Muslims in the Western world, and is one of the most widely used explanations of the Qu'ran today. Ibn Kathir was renowned for his great memory regarding the sayings of Muhammad and the entire Qur'an. Ibn Kathir is known as a qadi, a master scholar of history, and a mufassir (Qur'an commentator). Ibn Kathir died in February 1373 in Damascus, and was buried in the local cemetery.
