What is a miracle ? – THE CONCEPT OF MIRACLE IN ISLAM IN THE QURAN

The Prophets and Messengers of Allah (peace be upon them all) are distinguished from common individuals by many qualities and characteristics. Almighty Allah educated them in a way that prepares them for their mission and enables them invite people to Allah. The prophets and messengers (peace be upon them) were supported with supernatural favors by Allah, namely Mu`jiah (i.e. miracle) that means an action or deed which is beyond the ability and power of human beings, and differs from the law of nature in this universe.

In the Islamic terminology, Mu`ajizah (miracle) means an act which people are unable to do, but Allah performs it at the hands of a prophet to prove his prophethood.  In all such conditions, the action which proves the truthfulness of the claim of prophethood is called Mu`ajizah. The prophets (peace be upon them) were given the miracles as proofs of their prophethood before their peoples.

Miracles are such performances that cannot be done without supernatural help from Allah. By the Support of Allah, the miracle occurs to the Prophet without any practice or machinery. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) would cure the blind and leprous without any medicine, and that was his miracle.

Quran as a miracle

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had innumerable miracles, but his greatest living miracle is the Glorious Qur’an. His miracles include the splitting of the moon, food multiplication, water multiplication, the crying of the stem of the date-palm tree, glorification of Allah by the Prophet’s food, the night journey of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Jerusalem, ascension to the seven Heavens, information about the future and

running of water from between his fingers like a fountain. In addition, the trees obeyed his orders, mountains and rocks said “peace be upon you! Oh! Messenger of Allah,” not to mention curing the ill people, healing the sick and injured people, testimony of the animals for his prophethood, testimony of Jinn for his messengerhood and protection of Allah.

extraordinary incidents and miracles – THE CONCEPT OF MIRACLE IN ISLAM IN THE QURAN

Furthermore, many extraordinary incidents happened during his birth and throughout his childhood. Since the purpose of miracle is to convince people that such things could not happen without the authority of Almighty Allah, it was essential that miracle should surpass every branch of knowledge or expertise which was the most advanced at the time of the Prophet.

Otherwise, people could not be convinced that the miracle was really of such high standard which was beyond human capacity. During the days of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), magic was the most advanced art of that time. Therefore, Allah (glory be to Him) gave him the walking stick which turned into a python and swallowed sticks and ropes of the magicians of Pharaoh.

When our noble Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) appeared, the Arabs were very proud of their eloquent language and poetry. Even their girls could compose poetry of very high standard without any previous preparation. Poets were held in high esteem in the Arabian Peninsula. The seven Mu`allaqat (well-known long poems) were put on the walls of Ka`abah and poets were challenged to compose and bring similar poetry
