concerning the Glory of the Quraan

(Rasuluallah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam)

In this chapters Allamah Busairi (R.A.)describes the miracle of the Holy Qur'an. Every miracle of all the other prophets was only temporary and was only witnessed by those who were present at that time.

1. Allow me to describe the miracles of him (Rasuluallah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam) exposed (performed).
2. Like the lighting of fires on the hillside at night for guests.
