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 containing the words sacred and/or history:

    the sacred few who could not tame
    Their spirits to the conquerors—

    I saw the Arab map.
    It resembled a mare shuffling on,
    dragging its history like saddlebags,
    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.
