When the evidence for Islam is laid out clearly, it becomes nearly impossible for a sincere seeker of truth to turn away. In a powerful episode of The Deen Show, Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq sits down with Eddie to discuss the real miracles and prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), dawah encounters with Mormons and at a Subway restaurant, and the Islamic perspective on some of the most pressing moral issues of our time, including abortion. From verified historical miracles to prophecies unfolding before our eyes, this conversation is a faith-strengthening journey through the undeniable proofs of Islam.
All the Prophets Were Muslim: One Message From the Creator
Shaykh Uthman explains that the word “Muslim” simply means one who submits their will to God. Unlike other religions named after individuals or tribes, Islam is not named after Prophet Muhammad. Every prophet, from Adam to Abraham to Moses to Jesus (peace be upon them all), brought the same message: worship the One True Creator alone. Muslims hold all of these prophets in the highest respect, never mocking or disrespecting any of them. The Quran makes clear that rejecting even one prophet is like rejecting all of them. This unified message of faith stands in stark contrast to the man-made innovations that crept into earlier religious traditions over the centuries.
Over 3,000 Reports of Verified Miracles of Prophet Muhammad
There are around 3,000 reports, meaning hadith, about different miracles throughout the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and these are verified through connected chains of narration where every single narrator is checked for memory, moral character, and reliability. This is a greater level of verification than any history book that you have today.
Shaykh Uthman outlines the extraordinary categories of miracles associated with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the unmatched verification system of Islam:
- The Quran itself — an illiterate man in the desert produced a book so linguistically perfect that no poet in Arabia could match it, containing scientific facts unknown at the time, including ocean layers, mountain roots, and planetary orbits
- The splitting of the Moon — witnessed not only by the people of Mecca but confirmed by Bedouin travelers, and even documented in historical records from India where a Hindu king saw the miracle, accepted Islam, and built a mosque that still stands today
- Water flowing from his blessed hands — witnessed by numerous companions during military campaigns, verified through multiple independent chains of narration
- Prophecies fulfilled one after another — the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul), the defeat of the Persian Empire, the conquest of Jerusalem, and the widespread rise of interest-based banking, all foretold centuries before they occurred
- The science of hadith verification — Islam developed a rigorous system of narrator criticism where every individual in the chain of transmission is checked for their name, lineage, memory, moral character, and reliability, surpassing the verification standards of any modern history book
Prophecies Coming True Before Our Eyes
Some of the most striking prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are those unfolding in our own lifetime. Shaykh Uthman highlights several that every honest observer can witness today:
- Bedouin shepherds competing in building tall buildings — just one generation ago, the people of the Arabian Peninsula were illiterate desert dwellers; today, seven of the ten tallest buildings in the world stand in the Middle East
- Widespread senseless killing — the Prophet foretold a time when murder would become so common that the victim would not even know why they were killed, a reality seen in mass shootings and random acts of violence across the world
- Women clothed yet naked — the prophecy about women wearing clothing so tight it conceals nothing has become an undeniable reality of modern fashion
- The spread of fornication, alcohol, and musical instruments — all prophesied as signs of the latter days, and all unmistakably present in modern society
Dawah Encounters: From Subway to Mormons
We challenge Christians and say, tell us: how can a man in the desert who does not know how to read or write produce a book so eloquent that none of the poets of Arabia could answer it? Not just that, the Quran talks about scientific facts — the sun and moon in orbit, how salt water and fresh water meet but do not mix, how mountains have roots that go into the ground — things that no human being could have known at that time.
- Responding to the Mormon comparison — when some Christians try to equate Prophet Muhammad with Joseph Smith, Shaykh Uthman draws clear distinctions: the Book of Mormon contains scientific inaccuracies and racially problematic teachings, while the Quran contains verified scientific miracles, fulfilled prophecies, and unmatched linguistic excellence
- The Subway shooting and prophecy — a tragic incident where a customer killed an employee over too much mayonnaise on a sandwich serves as a stark example of the prophesied senseless violence of the end times
- The dawah approach — Shaykh Uthman emphasizes bringing clear evidence, including from the Bible itself, out of genuine love for Jesus (peace be upon him) and a desire to guide people to the unchanged, preserved message of Islam
The Islamic Position on Abortion: Protecting the Sanctity of Life
- Islam is a balanced, divinely revealed religion that prioritizes the protection of human life
- After the first trimester, the developing baby has a beating heart, limbs, and brain activity — taking that life as a form of convenience is not permissible in Islam
- Exceptions exist where the life of the mother or both mother and child are in genuine medical danger, evaluated on a case-by-case basis with scholarly guidance
- The argument of “my body, my choice” does not account for the body and rights of the unborn child who has no voice
- Allah is the Provider (Ar-Razzaq) — financial hardship is never a justification for ending a life, as countless people raised in humble circumstances have gone on to achieve remarkable things
- Muslims, Christians, and Jews share common ground in defending the sanctity of life and should stand united on this issue rather than surrendering their faith-based principles to political pressures

The miracles of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are not fairy tales or blind faith — they are historically verified, scientifically supported, and prophetically confirmed realities that continue to unfold in our world today. Whether it is the preserved perfection of the Quran, the fulfilled prophecies witnessed across centuries, or the moral guidance Islam offers on the most difficult issues of our time, the evidence points unmistakably to one truth: Islam is the authentic, unchanged message from the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
