Allaah The Almighty supported His Prophets with miracles, which
are extraordinary events that are usually of the same nature that the people of
that 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 the dead 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 compose oneSoorah (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 him to 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
intended to 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 worshipped idols 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 and threw 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): {They said, "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 what is 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 Prophet Moosa . 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 the
dead 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]
was that he cured the blind and the leper, and gave life to the
dead by the permission of Allaah The Almighty. He would design the form of a

Another miracle of Prophet
‘Eesa was the table that was sent down from heaven with food. His people
wanted him to ask 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 miracle of 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."They said, "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, the son of Mary, "O Allaah, our Lord, send
down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival
for the first 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."}[Quran
5: 112-115]
