Islam defines a miracle as an exceptional event or act which is contrary to the laws of nature and can occur only through the direct intervention of God Almighty. The Arabic word for miracle is mu'jizah . AJZ comes from the word that means something amazing , cannot be resisted , unique . According to Islam , miracles are performed by God's permission , for the prophets of God. Miracles are not magic , it is, by definition , a trick or illusion , or a miracle an event caused by people only scientists who are not prophets of God. These events are called karamahs . Therefore, we find three different categories , working miracles , and magic karamahs .
God sent Prophets and Messengers to guide mankind mainly . Were human , fantastic, pious and trustworthy character , people will follow and could turn to for direction. They were not gods , demigods or saints with divine qualities , but were mere mortals charge of a difficult mission . They were unique because they were forced to face the trials and tribulations overtime to spread the message of worshiping God alone.
" And I (God) created the jinn [To learn more about the Jinn, please see: http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/669/viewall/] and man to worship Me ( Alone ) ." (Quran 51:56 )
To make each credible Prophet in his time and a certain place , God gave miracles, relevant, timely and understandable to the people they were sent . The time of Moses magic and witchcraft were so widespread miracles of Moses appealed to the people , he was sent to guide . At the time of Muhammad, the Arabs, although mostly illiterate , were masters of prayer. His poetry and prose are considered exceptional and a model of literary excellence and the miracle of the Prophet Muhammad , peace and blessings of God be upon him , was of this nature and more .. The miracle is defined Prophet Solomon was his only kingdom . In the time of Jesus , the Israelites were very knowledgeable in the field of medicine. Therefore, the miracles performed by Jesus were of this nature and included return sight to the blind , healing lepers and raising the dead .
" And you heal those born blind and the leper by My permission . Behold ! You bring forth the dead by My leave . " (Quran 5:10 )
A Karama is a question or a special event that occurs in the hands of a believer who obeys God , abstain from sin and whose piety to a very high level in the eyes of God. Unlike a miracle supposed to be made public so that people recognize the truth of the Prophet, a Karama usually benefit those to whom it is given . A Karama could include things such as knowledge , power, or something amazing like that Karama was given Usayd Ibn al - Hudayr , one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad . A group of angels in a cloud of light shade Usayd when reciting the Quran. [Saheeh Al-Bukhari] A Karama also held to Maryam , the mother of the prophet Jesus.
Her Lord accepted her with good acceptance. He grew up in a good way and put him in the care of Zechariah. Every time I went in his place of prayer , found supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam (Mary) Where did you do that ? " She said . " This is God God gives sustenance to whom He wills without limit. " (Quran 3:37 )
The result is a miracle nothing but good and is given by the Almighty to the Prophets as a sign of its veracity. To this is added a life of moral and exemplary character , and a message of kindness.
Magic can also bring something extraordinary, but nothing good can come out of magic. It makes for bad people , and is seeking the help of demons and drawing near them. [For details, please see: http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/5246/] The miracles cannot be removed or canceled , while magic can be learned , deleted or canceled.
Meet the Prophet Moses and the magicians of Pharaoh's court the difference between magic and miracles is explained.
They said : "O Musa (Moses ) Either throw (first), or will we have the (first) throw" He (Moses ) said: " You throw (first) " When they threw bewitched the eyes of the people , and terrified , they displayed a great magic and revealed to Moses .. " Throw your stick , ' and behold ! He immediately swallowed all the lies that have shown . Thus truth was confirmed , and what they did was made of no effect. So they were defeated there and returned disgraced. And the magicians fell down prostrate . (Quran 7:115-120 )
Wizards realized that Moses was not preformed a trick or illusion as they did. They understood the deception and they knew that Moses' actions were a miracle. So I accepted the truth and worshiped God , knowing that he was going to kill you for disobeying Pharaoh.
Miracles can be of two types: those that occur at the request of people who want a sign of the truth of the Prophet who was sent to them and the second type , occur without being asked . An example of the first type is when the people of Prophet Salih asked to mountain behind a camel and his descendants . Furthermore, when the unbelievers of Mecca asked the Prophet Muhammad to show them a miracle , he showed them the splitting of the moon . One of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad mentioned this event saying . . "We were with the Messenger of Allah at Mina, when the moon we divided into two parts One part was behind the mountain and the other one was on this side of the mountain The messenger of Allah said : " Bear witness that this " [Saheeh Muslim].
An example of the second type is what happened when the tree cried and wanted the Prophet Muhammad. He, the Prophet used to give his speech on Friday, while leaning on a palm tree. One of his disciples a chair for him had its way and they did. So on Friday when the Prophet was in the pulpit , the tree began to moan for him as a child.
Muslims believe that the Quran itself is a miracle. Prophet Muhammad said: "Every Prophet was given miracles because people believe them , but received the divine revelation God has revealed to me , so I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of another day Prophets of Resurrection. " [Saheeh Al-Bukhari] , the Prophet Muhammad was implying that the Quran itself is the greatest miracle of all time , is a miraculous book filled with miracles of all kinds. His revelation , literary excellence , and its contents, including the scientific, historical and prophetic , contribute to the state of Quran as a miracle.

The Quran seems to imply that the iron
was something " sent" not of this world ,
an idea not foreign to 20th century science Miracle
Iron is one of the elements highlighted in the Qur'an. In the chapter called Al- Hadid , meaning Iron , we are informed :
" And we sent iron wherein is a great force and which has many uses for mankind ... " (Quran 57:25 )
The word " Anzalna " translated as " sent" and used for iron in the verse, could be considered to have metaphorical explain that iron has been given to benefit people perceive . But if we consider the literal sense , ie , "is sent physically come down from heaven , as the word used was not used in the Quran except literally , like falling rain or revelation, we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific miracle . Because, modern astronomical findings have disclosed that the iron found in our world has come from giant stars in outer space . [Dr. Mazhar U. Kazi, 130 Evident Miracles in the Qur'an (New York, USA: Crescent Publishing House: 1998), 110-111; and www.wamy.co.uk/announcements3.html, from Prof. Zighloul Raghib El-Naggar’s speech ]
Not only the iron on earth, but also the iron in the entire Solar System , comes from outer space, since the temperature in the sun is not sufficient for the formation of iron. The sun has a surface temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius, and a core temperature of about 20 million degrees. Iron can only be produced in quantities many more stars than the Sun, where the temperature reaches a few hundred million degrees. When the amount of iron exceeds a certain level in a star , the star can no longer accommodate, and eventually explodes in what is called a " nova " or a " supernova ." These explosions allow iron into space. [Ibid] Miracle
Source Scientific provides the following information about this topic:
" There is also evidence of events of major supernovae : increased iron levels - 60 in ocean sediments have been interpreted as indications that a supernova explosion occurred within 90 light years of the sun , there are 5 million years of iron - . 60 is a radioactive isotope of iron, formed in supernova explosions , which decays with a half-life of 1.5 million years the presence of this isotope indicates a layer increased in recent neighboring elements . geological space and subsequent transport to the earth ( perhaps as part of dust particles ) " nucleosynthesis . Quran
[Priscilla Frisch, “The Galactic Environment of the Sun,” American Scientist, January-February 2000, www.americanscientist.org/template/AssetDetail/assetid/21173?fulltext=true] Miracle
All this shows that iron did not form on Earth , but was carried from supernovas, and was " sent " as it says in verse . It is clear that this fact was not known in the seventh century, when the Qur'an was revealed . However, this fact is related in the Qur'an , the Word of God, who encompasses all things in His infinite knowledge. Quran Miracle
The fact that the verse specifically mentions iron is quite astounding, considering that these discoveries were made in the 20th century . In his book , the fate of nature , renowned microbiologist Michael Denton emphasizes the importance of iron : Quran
" Of all the metals there is none more essential to life than iron. 's The accumulation of iron in the center of a star which triggers a supernova explosion and the subsequent scattering of the vital atoms of life throughout the cosmos. it was the drawing by gravity of iron atoms to the center of the primeval earth that generated the heat which caused the initial chemical differentiation of the earth, the outgassing of the early atmosphere , and ultimately the formation of the hydrosphere . was melted in the center of the earth which , acting like a gigantic dynamo, generates the earth 's magnetic field , which in turn creates the radiation belts Van Allen that protect the soil surface from destructive high iron cosmic radiation penetration of energy and preserve the essential layer for destroying ozone cosmic rays ... Quran Miracle
"Without the iron atom , there would be no life based on carbon in the cosmos, no supernovae , no heating of the primitive earth , no atmosphere or hydrosphere . There would be no protective magnetic field, no radiation belts Van Allen no ozone layer, no metal to make hemoglobin [in human blood ], no metal to tame the reactivity of oxygen , and no oxidative metabolism. Quran
" The intriguing and intimate relationship between life and iron, between the red color of blood and the death of a distant star , not only indicates the relevance of metals to biology but also biocentricity the cosmos ... " [Michael J. Denton, Nature’s Destiny (The Free Press: 1998), 198 ]
This account clearly indicates the importance of the iron atom . The fact that attention is drawn to iron in the Qur'an also emphasizes the importance of the element. Quran
Moreover, iron oxide particles have been used in cancer treatment in recent months and positive developments were observed. A team led by Dr. Andreas Jordan , the famous Charity Hospital in Germany, succeeded in destroying cancer cells with this new technique developed for the treatment of fluid hyperthermia ( high temperature magnetic liquid ) Magnetic cancer. Using this technique , performed in the first 26 years of age, H. Nikolaus no new cancer cells were observed in the patient during the next three months. Quran
This treatment method can be summarized as follows :
1) A liquid containing iron oxide particles is injected into the tumor using a special syringe . These tumor cells distributed particles. This liquid is composed of billions of particles , a thousand times smaller than red blood cells , the iron oxide in which 1 cm3 can flow easily through all blood vessels . Quran
[www.inm-gmbh.de/cgi-bin/frame/frameloader.pl?sprache=en&url=http://www.inm-gmbh.de/htdocs/technologien/highlights/highlights_en.htm]
2) The patient is then placed in a machine with a strong magnetic field.
3) The externally applied magnetic field , begins to set the iron particles which are moving in the tumor . Meanwhile, the temperature in the tumor containing the iron oxide particles amounts to 45 degrees . Quran
4) In a few minutes , unable to protect cells from heat cancer are either weakened or destroyed. The tumor may then be completely eradicated with subsequent chemotherapy . ["Nanotechnology successfully helps cancer therapies," IIC Fast Track, Nanotech News from Eastern Germany, Industrial Investment Council, October 2003; www.iic.de/uploads/media/NANO_FT_Nov2003_01.pdf] Quran
In this treatment , not cancer cells are affected by the magnetic field so that particles containing iron oxide . The spread of this technique is a breakthrough in the treatment of this potentially fatal disease. Iron is also found to be a cure for people suffering from anemia. In the treatment of these widespread diseases , the use of the expression " iron in which there is a great force and which has many uses for mankind" (Qur'an, 57:25 ) in the Qur'an is particularly noteworthy. In fact, in this verse , the Qur'an may be indicating the benefits of iron even for human health. ( Allah knows best ). Quran
