Islamic View of Miracles - Sacred History

Sacred History

The Qur'an does not mention any miracle for Adam (Adem) as he was not supposed to convince anybody. Sura (verse) 11 (Hūd) and 23 (Al-Mu’minoon) mention miracles of Noah (Nuh), "The oven (tannur) out of which the water burst and announced the flood". Hud, the first of five Arabian prophets of the Qur'an, prophet for the ancient tribe of ʿĀd does not have any particular miracle (thus according to historian Denis Gril prefiguring Muhammad). See sura 7 (Al-A'raf) for his response when he was rebuked for not producing a miracle.

Famous quotes related to sacred history:

    “I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
