SOME NATIONS' DEMANDING MIRACLES

Those who do not believe say [to Muhammad]: "If only a
Sign could be sent down to him from his Lord!" You are
only a warner. Every people has a guide. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 7)
They say: "We will not believe you until you make a
spring gush out from the ground for us; or have a garden
of dates and grapes that you make rivers come pouring
through; or make the sky, as you claim, fall down on us in
lumps; or bring Allah and the angels here as a guarantee;
or possess a house built out of gleaming gold; or ascend
up into Heaven—and even then we will not believe in
your ascent unless you bring us down a book to read!"
Say: "Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything but a human
messenger?" (Surat al-'Isra, 90-93)

Gospel
