4.2 Mukjizat Al-Qur'an - Usool At-Tafseer | Quran Course

Oleh itu, mukjizat yang dibawa oleh mereka itu khusus disesuaikan dengan bidang ilmu yang menjadi kepakaran kaum mereka, supaya mukjizat tersebut memberi kesan yang paling besar kepada mereka. Sebagai contoh, Nabi Musa (Moses), semoga kesejahteraan Allah ke atasnya, dibesarkan di kalangan orang Mesir, yang terkenal dengan kepakaran mereka dalam ilmu ghaib, sihir dan silap mata. Maka Allah mengurniakan kepadanya mukjizat dapat memasukkan tangannya ke dalam jubahnya lalu mengeluarkan tangan yang bercahaya terang. Apabila ahli sihir dan tukang silap mata dikumpulkan untuk mencabar Nabi Musa, dan tongkat yang mereka campakkan kelihatan oleh penonton seperti ular, Allah menjadikan tongkat Nabi Musa sebagai ular besar yang sebenar, lalu ia menelan "ular-ular" milik lawan-lawannya. Kekalahan itu sudah cukup menjadi bukti bagi ahli sihir dan tukang silap mata, kerana mereka tahu bahawa tiada sesiapa dapat mengubah sifat sebatang tongkat sebagaimana Musa nampaknya telah lakukan. Mereka sujud dengan wajah menyembah dan beriman dengan tulus kepada Tuhan Musa, walaupun diancam dengan nyawa mereka oleh tuan mereka, Firaun.

Thus, the miracles which they brought were particularly suited to the areas of knowledge in which their people excelled in order for the miracles to have the maximum effect on them. For example, Prophet Moosaa (Moses), may Allaah’s peace be on him, was raised up among the Egyptians, who were noted for their mastery of the occult arts, sorcery, and magic. Hence, Allaah gave him the miracle of being able to place his hand in his cloak and extract a brilliantly shining hand. And when sorcerers and magicians were gathered to challenge Prophet Moosaa, and the staffs which they had cast appeared to the audience as snakes, Allaah turned Prophet Moosaa’s staff into a huge, real snake that devoured the “snakes” of his opponents. That defeat was sufficient proof for the magicians and sorcerers, who knew that no one could change the nature of a stick as Moosaa apparently had done. They fell on their faces in submission and sincere belief in the God of Moosaa, in spite of the threats on their lives uttered by their master, the Pharaoh.

Bangsa Arab mempunyai sedikit sekali kemahiran tersendiri atau ilmu yang terkumpul, tetapi mereka sangat berbangga dengan kepetahan berucap dan kemahiran sastera mereka. Setiap tahun diadakan pertandingan di pesta-pesta seperti pesta ‘Ukkaath, di mana banyak baris ucapan dan syair dibacakan dari hafalan. Bahasa mereka telah mencapai puncak perkembangannya, dan kefasihan bertutur dianggap sebagai kualiti tertinggi yang boleh dimiliki seseorang. Malah, sepuluh syair yang paling masyhur begitu dihormati sehingga ia diukir dengan emas dan digantung di dalam Ka‘bah untuk dipuja dengan khusyuk.42 Oleh itu, Allaah menurunkan kepada nabi-Nya yang terakhir sebuah kitab, dengan sebahagian surahnya dimulakan dengan huruf-huruf yang tidak difahami seperti, “Alif Laam Meem” atau “Qaaf” atau “Noon,” yang menggoda minda orang Arab, seolah-olah berkata, “Daripada huruf-huruf ini yang kamu gabungkan untuk membentuk perbualan harian kamu, serta karya-karya prosa dan puisi yang agung, terbentuklah sebuah kitab yang surah terpendeknya tidak melebihi tiga baris, namun kamu tidak mampu meniru-nya, walau sekuat mana pun kamu cuba!” Maka, mukjizat kekal baginda tidak lain ialah Al-Qur’aan itu sendiri, sebagaimana Nabi (ﷺ) sendiri menyatakan,

The Arabs had very little in the way of unique skills or accumulated knowledge, but they took great pride in their oratory and literary skills. Yearly contests were held in fairs like that of ‘Ukkaath, in which many lines of speeches and poetry were recited from memory. Their language had reached its peak of development, and eloquence was considered the highest quality a man could possess. In fact, the ten most famous poems were so revered that they were etched in gold and hung in the Ka‘bah for solemn adoration.42 Consequently, Allaah revealed to His last prophet a book, beginning some parts with unintelligible letters like, “Alif Laam Meem” or “Qaaf” or “Noon,” tantalizing the Arab mind, as if to say, “From these letters which you combine to form your daily conversations, as well as great works of prose and poetry, is formed a book whose shortest chapter does not exceed three lines, yet you cannot imitate it, no matter how hard you try!” Thus, his standing miracle was none other then the Qur’aan itself, as the Prophet (ﷺ) himself stated,
