a word from Imam Hadi (peace be upon him)
Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) was asked concerning these issues:
why did Allah appoint Moses (peace be upon him)with the rod? l
Why did He appoint Jesus(peace be upon him) with the miracle of healing the vitiligo and enliving the dead? l
and why did He appoint Muhammad (peace be upon him) with the holy Quran and sword? l
Imam stated: the miracle of Moses, for this reason was rod and white hand because the majority people of this era were magician and for proving of his legitimacy and school, he had something to overcome them. l
the people of Jesus time were also physicians so the blessed and supreme Lord did bestow him the power of healing sick and enliving dead to prevail over them. l
and the holy prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) was appointed by holy Quran and sword, because the most people of that time were from peotry and sword and thus he raised an argument and conquered. l
