Miracle (Mojeza) is the part and parcel of the history of Islam. Allah has sent different nabis and rosuls that mean messengers, in various communities and places of the earth according to His promise done, to direct man to the correct path, the right direction. The numbers of these messengers are approximately one lac and twenty four thousands or other opinion is two lac and twenty four thousands. Whenever a messenger comes to his community and invokes them saying, “Allah has sent me as messenger, obey my words, you will get the right direction”; then most of the peoples distrusted him and asked, “What is the proof that you are a messenger?”.
Very normal and logical question. Allah gives the messenger some special power to perform unearthly events (Mojeza/Miracle) for the reliability of the people. Allah Himself brings about those events but through the messengers. These very unusual events are known to us as the Miracle (Mojeza). This means that, the unique and unearthly events Allah has brought about by the messengers for their confirmation are called the Miracle (Mojeza). Different messengers have different types of Miracle (Mojeza). Like: Solaiman (As.) understands the language of the angles, animals and birds; the stick of Moses (As.) turns a large and dangerous snake after throwing. The touch of Isa (As.) i.e. Christ cures the lepers and born blinds. He rises up a man died three days ago.
But the engaging matter is, the word Miracle (Mojeza) is absent in the holy Qur’an, rather Allah used the word ayat (verse) i.e. sign. Every miracle performed by the messengers is the sign of their authentication. These events must be unlike the natural rule i.e. unearthly event (miracle) that make man understand, “He must is a messenger of Allah. Otherwise how he do it? It is completely impossible for a general man to serve it. So, his call is also true.”
A maxim is used in the subject Logic, “When there is smoke, there is fire” that is ongoing worldwide. We know without fire, no smoke is possible to form, thus smoke is the sign of fire. When an account holder sends his representative to pick money up with a signed check then bank only verifies his signature other than calling him physically. This signature is thesign (ayat) of the account holder. The short term of signature is sign. Sign means symbol, ayat (verse). Here the

bank confirms with the signature that, the man has sent by the account holder. Likewise the ayat (verse) of the Qur’an is the sign that it is the book from Allah, i.e. the signature of Allah and the messenger tells the truth. Another introduction/identification of this sign is Miracle (Mojeza).
An especial matter is observable in the miracles by different messenger of Allah. It is, the miracle Allah provides to His messengers was suitable with the intellect and surroundings of the community and time as well. Lots of differences occur too in the styles of miracles (Mojeza) depending on time and space. As like, during the messenger Moses (As.), magic was too much operative in Egypt. So, the Miracle (Mojeza) of Moses (As.) was consistent with magic. He has to face the contemporary magicians with his miracles (Mojeza). In the time of our nabi Mohammad (Sm.), Arabia was highly developed in poetic practice, therefore Allah made the holy Qur’an (the miracle of Mohammad Sm.) poetic and prosodic. When the rationality and analytic ability of man was little,
