MIRACLES
CITED IN THE QUR'AN
DEAD BIRDS BROUGHT TO LIFE FOR the PROPHET Ibrahim (as)
When Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, show me how You bring the dead to life.'
He asked, 'Do you not then believe?' He replied, 'Indeed I do! But so
that my heart may be at peace.' He said, 'Take four birds and train them
to yourself. Then put a part of them on each mountain and call to them;
they will come rushing to you. Know that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.'
(Surat al-Baqara, 260)
the PROPHET Ibrahim (as) SAVED FROM THE FIRE
They said, 'Burn him and support your gods if you are
resolved to do something.' (Surat al-Anbiya, 68)
They said, 'Build a pyre for him and fling him into the
blaze!' (Surat as-Saffat, 97)
We said, 'Fire, be coolness and peace for Ibrahim!' They
desired to trap him but We made them the losers. (Surat al-Anbiya, 69-70)
They tried to outwit him but We made them the lowest.
(Surat as-Saffat, 98)
MIRACLES OF the PROPHET MUSA (as)
So they pursued them at sunrise. And when the two hosts
came into sight of one another Musa's companions said, 'We will surely
be overtaken!' He said, 'Never! My Lord is with me and He will guide me.'
So We revealed to Musa, 'Strike the sea with your staff.' And it split
in two, each part like a towering cliff. And We brought the others right
up to it. We rescued Musa and all those who were with him. Then We drowned
the rest. There is certainly a Sign in that yet most of them are not believers.
Truly your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (Surat ash-Shuara,
60-68)
He (Musa) said, 'Even if I were to bring you something
undeniable?' He said, 'Produce it then if you are someone telling the
truth.' So He threw down his staff and there it was, unmistakably a snake.
And he drew out his hand and there it was, pure white to those who looked.
(Surat ash-Shuara, 30-33)
He said, 'No, you throw!' And suddenly their ropes and
staffs appeared to him, by their magic, to be slithering about. Musa experienced
in himself a feeling of alarm. We said, 'Have no fear. You will have the
upper hand. (Surah Ta Ha, 66-68)
When they had thrown, Musa said, 'What you have brought
is magic. Allah will certainly prove it false. Allah does not uphold the
actions of corrupters.' Allah confirms the Truth by His words, even though
the evildoers hate it. (Surah Yunus, 81-82)
Throw down what is in your right hand. It will swallow
up their handiwork. Their handiwork is just a magician's trick. Magicians
do not prosper wherever they go.' (Surah Ta Ha, 69)
We revealed to Musa, 'Throw down your staff.' And it
immediately swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took place
and what they did was shown to be false. They were defeated then and there,
transformed into humbled men. (Surat al-A'raf, 117-119)
the RESCUE OF the PROPHET YUNUS (as) FROM
THE BELLY OF THE FISH
When he ran away to the fully laden ship and cast lots
and lost. Then the fish devoured him and he was to blame. (Surat as-Saffat,
140-142)
... He called out in the pitch darkness: 'There is no
god but You! Glory be to You! Truly I have been one of the wrongdoers.'
We responded to him and rescued him from his grief. That is how We rescue
the believers. (Surat al-Anbiya, 87-88)
Had it not been that he was a man who glorified Allah,
he would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are raised
again. So We cast him up onto the beach and he was sick; and We caused
a gourd tree to grow over him. (Surat as-Saffat, 143-146)
MIRACLES OF the PROPHET 'Isa (as)
... as a Messenger to the tribe of Israel, saying: 'I
have brought you a Sign from your Lord. I will create the shape of a bird
out of clay for you and then breathe into it and it will be a bird by
Allah's permission. I will heal the blind and the leper, and bring the
dead to life, by Allah's permission. I will tell you what you eat and
what you store up in your homes. There is a Sign for you in that if you
are believers. (Surah Al 'Imran, 49)
….They said, 'How can a baby in the cradle speak?' He
('Isa) said, 'I am the servant of Allah, He has given me the Book and
made me a Prophet.(Surah Maryam, 29-30)
The Man whom Allah Caused to Die for a Hundred
Years and then Brought Back to Life
Or the one who passed by a town which had fallen into ruin? He asked,
'How can Allah restore this to life when it has died?' Allah caused him
to die a hundred years then brought him back to life. Then He asked, 'How
long have you been here?' He replied, 'I have been here a day or part
of a day.' He said, 'Not so! You have been here a hundred years. Look
at your food and drink - it has not gone bad - and look at your donkey
so We can make you a Sign for all mankind. Look at the bones - how We
raise them up and clothe them in flesh.' When it had become clear to him,
he said, 'Now I know that Allah has power over all things.' (Surat al-Baqara,
259)
THE COMPANIONS OF THE CAVE STAYED IN THEIR CAVE FOR
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND THEN WOKE UP
They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and
added nine. Say: 'Allah knows best how long they stayed. The Unseen of
the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. How perfectly He sees, how well
He hears! They have no protector apart from Him. Nor does He share His
rule with anyone.' (Surat al-Kahf, 25-26)
THE WIND MADE SUBSERVIENT TO the PROPHET SULAYMAN (as)
And We gave Sulayman power over the wind - a month's
journey in the morning and a month in the evening. And We made a fount
of molten copper flow out for him. And some of the jinn worked in front
of him by his Lord's permission. And if a single one of them deviates
at all from Our command, We let him taste the punishment of the Searing
Blaze. (Surah Saba, 12)
