Miraculous Signs and Cosmic Imagery in Jami's Third Praise of Muhammad
This praise poem presents Muhammad's prophetic distinction through a succession of miraculous signs, including the splitting of the moon, the submission of celestial bodies, the fall of Kisra's palace, supernatural protection from the sun, extraordinary vision, and stones glorifying God in his hand. Jami combines traditional miracle narratives with images of light, kingship, and cosmic obedience to portray the Prophet as the spiritual center of creation. The claim that speech cannot enumerate these wonders also turns poetic inadequacy into an expression of reverence.
