Islamic view of miracles

A number of terms are used in Islam to refer to the claims of events happening that are not explicable by natural or scientific laws, subjects where people sometimes invoke the supernatural.[6] The main purpose of miracle is to prove the sincerity of the apostle and has to satisfy the following conditions:[6] Belief in that which is transmitted by mutawatir is obligatory to believe in for Sunni Muslims."[11] Taftāzāni lists in his Sharh al-'Aqa'id al-Nasafiyya the following lists the following miracles as performed by saints and prophets:[12] In order to defend the possibility of miracles and God's omnipotence against the encroachment of the independent secondary causes, medieval Muslim theologians rejected the idea of cause and effect in essence, but accepted it as something that facilitates humankind's investigation and comprehension of natural processes.[13] According to Denis Gril, Islam teaches that miracles – i.e. a supernatural interventions in the life of human beings – are present in the Quran "in a threefold sense: in sacred history, in connection with Muhammad himself and in relation to revelation.[1] Sura (verse) 11 (Hūd) and 23 (Al-Mu’minoon)[20] mention miracles of Noah (Nuh), "The oven (tannur) out of which the water burst and announced the flood".[29][30][31] Among these miracles found in the Quran are "everything, from relativity, quantum mechanics, Big Bang theory, black holes and pulsars, genetics, embryology, modern geology, thermodynamics, even the laser and hydrogen fuel cells".[5] "Widespread and well-funded"[32] with "millions" from Saudi Arabia,[5] the literature can be found in Muslim bookstores and on websites and television programs of Islamic preachers.The history of writing in connection with the science and religion of Islam dates back to the works of Ibn Sina, Fakhr al-Razi, and Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, but has increased significantly in recent times.[6] For example, many Muslim commentators and some western scholars have interpreted the sura 54 (Al-Qamar)[46] to refer to Muhammad splitting the Moon in view of the Quraysh when they had begun to persecute his followers.
Anonymous painting, taken from a 16th-century falnama , a book of prophecy. Muhammad points out the splitting of the Moon , depicted with his face hidden. Historians, such as A. J. Wensinck and Denis Gril, reject the historicity of it, arguing that the Quran itself denies miracles , in the traditional sense. [ 4 ] [ 1 ]
