extraordinary events thatare usually of the same nature that the
people ofthat particular prophet excelled at. For instance, the people
of Prophet Moosa excelled at magic, so the miracle of Prophet Moosa
was that he threw his staff and it turned to a serpent. Likewise, the
people of Prophet 'Eesa excelled at medicine, so Prophet 'Eesa cured
the blind and the leper, and gave life to thedead by the permission of
Allaah The Almighty. The Arabs excelled at poetry and rhetoric and
therefore Allaah The Almighty sent them the Quran and it was a miracle
that they were not even able to composeone Soorah (Chapter) like it.
Below are some of the miracles of the Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention:
The miracle of Saalih
Allaah The Almighty sent Prophet Saalih to his people to call them to
worship Allaah The Almighty alone, and not to associate any partners
with Him. They asked himto bring them proof of what he was saying, so
Allaah The Almighty supported him with the miracle of the she-camel.
He made a unique she-camel emerge from between the mountain rocks.
Some of them believed him, but the majority of them disbelieved and
intendedto kill the she-camel. Prophet Saalih warned them saying (what
means): } And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O
my people, worship Allaah; you have no deity other than Him. There has
come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of
Allaah [sent]to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allaah's
land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful
punishment. { [Quran 7:73]
The miracle of Ibraaheem(Abraham)
Ibraaheem rejected the practices of his people. They worshippedidols
that could neither harm nor benefit them. One day, he destroyed the
idols without anyone seeing him. When his people came to know that it
was Ibraaheem who had done that, they prepared a huge fire andthrew
him into it. However, the fire did not burn Ibraaheem and did not
affect him at all, as Allaah The Almighty ordered it not to burn him.
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): } Theysaid, "Burn him and
support your gods - if you are to act."Allaah Said, "O fire, be
coolness and safety upon Abraham."And they intended for him harm, but
We Made them the greatest losers. { [Quran 21:68-70]
The miracle of Moosa (Moses)
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): } And whatis that in your right
hand,O Moses?"He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring
down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses." [Allaah]
said, "Throw it down, O Moses." So he threw it down, and thereupon it
was a snake, moving swiftly. { [Quran 20:17-20] The staff was one of
the miracles given to ProphetMoosa . By that staff, he defeated the
magicians of Pharaoh, extracted water from rock and turned the sea
into land by the permission of Allaah The Almighty so that He would
save the believers and punish the disbelievers.
The miracles of 'Eesa
The miracle of Prophet 'Eesa was that he cured the blind and the
leper, and gave life to thedead by the permission of Allaah The
Almighty. He would design the form of a bird from clay, breathe into
itand it became a bird by the permission of Allaah The Almighty.
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): } And [make him] a messenger to
the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you
with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that
which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it
becomes a bird by permission of Allaah. And I cure the blind and the
leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allaah. And I
inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed
in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. { [Quran 3:49]
Another miracle of Prophet 'Eesa was the table that was sent downfrom
heaven with food. His people wanted him toask Allaah The Almighty to
send down a table spread with food so that their faith would increase.
They urged him to supplicate His Lord to do so, and he warned them,
but they insisted, so Allaah The Almighty sent down the table so that
it would be a miracleof Prophet 'Eesa . Allaah The Almighty Says (what
means): } [And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of
Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from
the heaven? [Jesus] said," Fear Allaah, if you should be
believers."Theysaid, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be
reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its
witnesses."Said Jesus, theson of Mary, "O Allaah, our Lord, send down
to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven tobe for us a
festival for thefirst of us and the last of us and a sign from You.
And provide for us, and You are the best of providers. "Allaah
said,"Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves
afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a
punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the Worlds." {
