The Prophet peace be upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all places that have day and night).
The explanation of the Hadith:
This
is an amazing prophetic miracle, the Prophet peace be upon him tells us
about the rapid spread of Islam and that this religion will cover all
parts of the globe. And this is what we will learn through the recent
statistics on the number of Muslims all over the world.
Islam
started 1400 years ago with only one man who is the Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him and the number of Muslims today became more than one
thousand and four hundred million Muslims!! So what is the secret of
this amazing spreading, and what does the global statistics say on the
number of Muslims in the world today?
Scientific facts:
Today
there are more than 4200 religions in the world! The statistics say
that Islam is the fastest spreading among all religions in the world! In
1999, the number of Muslims in the world was 1200 million Muslims. But
now Islam is spreading in all continents of the world, as the number of
Muslims in 1997 in
the six continents was: 780 million in Asia, 308 million in Africa, 32
million in Europe, 7 million in America and 385 thousand in Australia.
In
1900, the number of Muslims all over the world was less than half the
number of Christians but in 2025, the number of Muslims will become
greater than the number of Christians because of the significant growth
of Islamic religion. And this is the highest rate of growth in the
world!
The
Prophet peace be upon him talked about an amazing prophetic miracle
that Islam will spread in all parts of the earth, He peace be upon him
says: (The Islam will spread in all places that have day and night). And
this means that Islam will reach any area of land that has day and
night and this is what really happened as nowadays there are Muslims all
over the world.
So
if we bear in mind that this Hadith has been said by the Prophet peace
be upon him at the time when Muslims were weak and few where no one
expected that Islam will spread all over the world, we realize the
greatness of the miracle. This Hadith came to comfort the believers for
their weakness and fewness in number. And if Muhammad peace be upon him
wasn't a messenger from Allah, he wouldn't have dared to tell his
companions that Islam will spread all over the world, as how could he be
sure of that?
The point of inimitability:
Therefore
we can say that this Hadith is a scientific miracle for the Prophet
peace be upon him because we cannot imagine that a man calling for a new
religion with only few people believing him can say these words unless
he was confident that this religion will not only spread but will be the
most widely spread and no one could have this confidence unless he was
inspired from God, which means that he is a messenger of Almighty God.
And
in this fact a reply to all those who claim that the Quran was written
by Muhammad peace be upon him because it is impossible for anyone to
predict that Islam will spread in this amazing way but God be he exalted
told him this to reassure him that this religion will spread in all the
places that have day and night.
