{{Short description|Miracles believed to have been performed by the Prophet Muhammad}}
{{Muhammad}}
'''Miracles of Muhammad''' refers to miracles performed by the [[Islam]]ic prophet [[Muhammad|Muhammed]], according to [[Muslim]] teachings derived from the text of the [[Quran]] (the central religious text of Islam), [[hadith]] (records of the words, actions, and silent approval, traditionally attributed to Muhammad), and [[Prophetic biography|biographies]] of him.<ref name="ICNA">{{cite web |last1=Abu Ibraheem |title=Miracles of Prophet Muhammad |url=https://www.whyislam.org/muhammad/miracles-of-prophet-muhammad/ |website=Why Islam. ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America) |accessdate=29 April 2019}}</ref>

== Scope ==
Almost all of the miracles come from the [[hadith]], because the Quran either does not mention them or does not say what makes them miraculous.

Miracles attributed to Muhammad encompass a broad range, such as the multiplication of food, manifestation of water, hidden knowledge, prophecies, healing, punishment, and power over nature.<ref name="Simon & Schuster">{{cite book|author1=Kenneth L.

According to historian Denis Gril, the Quran does not overtly describe Muhammad performing miracles, and in several verses describes the Quran itself as Muhammad's miracle.<ref name="EoQ-Miracle">Denis Gril, ''Miracles'', [[Encyclopedia of the Qur'an]]</ref> However, several miracles are reported in the Quran and miracles "appear early and often in the [[hadith]]"<ref>{{cite book|author1=F.

*Scientific miracles: the theory of the scientific miracle of the Qur'an claims that the Qur'an has a miracle in expressing some scientific material (some modern scientific discoveries that were unknown at the time of writing the Qur'an). 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. Authors in this field include Naeem Al-Mohassi, Maurice Bukay, Rafiei Mohammadi, Mostarhameh, Makarem Shirazi and Rezaei Isfahani. These interpretations state that some verses of the Qur'an reflect prophetic statements about the nature and structure of the universe, physics, fetal biological growth, biological evolution, geology, mountain structure, and other phenomena that have been later confirmed by scientific research. This group of Quran-commentators present this as a proof of the divinity of the Qur'an. <ref>[[Ahmad Dallal]], Quran and science, Encyclopedia of the Qur'an</ref><ref> رضایی اصفهانی، محمد علی. «حركات خورشید و اعجاز علمی قرآن». دریافت‌شده در ۱۸ ژوئن ۲۰۲۰.</ref><ref>http://jima.imana.org/article/view/8693 A Scientist's Interpretation of References to Embryology in the Qur'an</ref>

==Interpretations==
===Sunni Views===
According to the [[ijma|consensus]] of Sunni scholars, rejecting a single letter of the Qur'an or a [[hadith]] which is [[Hadith terminology|mutawatir]] causes one to become a [[apostasy|non-Muslim]]. Belief in the miracles of the prophet Muhammad in the Qur'an and in hadith which are transmitted by mutawatir are obligatory.<ref name="SG1">{{cite web |title=Establishing Matters of Aqidah With Hadith Ahad |url=https://seekersguidance.org/answers/islamic-belief/establishing-matters-of-aqidah-with-hadith-ahad/ |website=SeekersGuidance |accessdate=6 September 2020 |date=27 May 2009}}</ref><ref name="Tamhid">{{cite book |last1=Ibn 'Abd al-Barr |first1=Yusuf |title=Al-Tamhîd limâ fîl-Muwatta' min al-Ma'ânî wal-Asânîd |isbn=9789777710473 |pages=Volume 1, page 142, and Volume 4, page 266}}</ref><ref name="Ghazali1">{{cite book |last1=al-Ghazali |first1=Abu Hamid |title=Faysal al-tafriqah bayna al-Islam wa-al-zandaqah. |publisher='Īsá al-Bābī al-Ḥalabī |page=144 |oclc=977737394 |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/977737394 |language=Arabic}}</ref><ref name="IW">{{cite web |title=Denying the Mutawaatir Hadeeth - Islamweb - Fatwas |url=https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/97262/denying-the-mutawaatir-hadeeth |website=www.islamweb.net |accessdate=6 September 2020}}</ref>
