  • Miracles Of Prophets And Islam's Approach Toward Minds

    Allah says in quran that he never violates his promise.Allah made universe and specified some rules on which it is governed.If allah asks humans to obey law then he should himself obey them to provide an example and he also says in quran that he do not violates.All prophets were given some miracles.Aren’t these miracles violation of these laws.if allah himself do not obey laws made by himself then why he demands from us to obey them.And moreover allah gave miracles to prophets so they could spread religion more easily.Here we can see that islam prefers to approach human emotions instead of their intellect.Because when people saw something strange like miracle they started believing.So islam is spread through emotions and fear restricting people’s intellect and thinking and promoting emotions.So why I am supposed to follow a religion which prefers emotions over intellect?

    Quran’s verse usually quoted in this context “وَ لَنۡ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّۃِ اللّٰہِ تَبۡدِیۡلًا” is mentioned in several places in Quran i.e. 33:62, 35:43, 48:23. None of these places refer to physical laws as Sunatullah. The dealings of God with His servants and the manner in which He deals with them are called sunnatullah by the Quran. The Almighty says that these practices are permanent and unalterable. It has nothing to do with physical laws of this world. Physial laws can be altered or bypassed by the Creator anytime He chooses and for whatever reason He may choose. To know more about these Sunnatullah, please refer to the following thread:

    As far as Miracles in their traditional sense are concerned, we cannot say for sure that they were given to every prophet. Besides, whatever significant miracles we know of, they were given to prophets for some bigger objective other than merely having people profess faith in a Prophet. For example, sometimes for Itmam-e-Hujjat on a particular arrogant nation like miracles of Porphet Jesus for final itmam-e-hujjat on Bani-Israel, sometimes to help a prophet in his prophetic mission ike the miracles of Prophet Moses so that he can stand his ground in front of a cruel and arrogant king of his time etc. etc. Quran has never presented Miracles as a primary argument to have faith in God. Quran has always presented arguments which are based on observation, history and logical inference. Miracles may or maynot act as an impetus in making one belief in God but neither is this an absolute rule nor is this the primary argument of religion. For arguments presented by Quran for belief in God, please refer to the following thread:
