Miracle in Islam

Miracles, known as “Mu’jizat” in Arabic, are supernatural events that defy natural laws, demonstrating the power of Allah. Three fundamental foundations form the basis of miracles in Islam: the Quran (the Muslim Holy book) detailing Islamic history, the Prophet Muhammad, and various related disclosures. Allah often grants these miracles to prophets to confirm their divine mission and strengthen the faith of their followers.

The Prophets and Their Miracles

Prophet Moses (Musa): His miracles include the parting of the Red Sea, turning his staff into a serpent. And the miracles performed before Pharaoh to demonstrate Allah’s power and challenge Pharaoh’s disbelief.

Prophet Jesus (Isa): Among his miracles are healing the blind and lepers, raising the dead, and speaking as an infant. These miracles are seen as signs of his prophethood and his special relationship with Allah.

Prophet Muhammad: The final prophet in Islam, Muhammad’s miracles are numerous, with the most significant being the Qur’an itself, regarded as the ultimate miracle due to its inimitable nature and profound guidance. Additionally, other miracles include the Isra and Mi’raj (the Night Journey and Ascension), during which he was taken to the heavens and shown various signs. Furthermore, the splitting of the moon is considered a miraculous event that confirms his prophethood.

The Quran as a Miracle

The Quran is regarded as the ultimate miracle, believed to be a divine creation by the Supreme Creator, Allah. People believe that it has remained unchanged and preserved since the time of Prophet Muhammad, with its revelation beginning around the year 610. The Quran also encompasses various miracles, each falling into specific categories.

Muhammad (P.B.U.H)

Scholars and traditions attribute several supernatural acts to the Prophet. These are including the famous incident of “splitting the moon” during the persecution of his followers. The Quraysh witnessed this event (Islamicsurah.com).This miraculous act inspired poets and artists alike.

Historically Based Miracles

There are also miracles rooted in events from historical times predating the Quran and Prophet Muhammad. One such miracle is the story of Noah. He foretold a great flood, and torrential rains followed.
