| The Qur'an itself gives an open challenge for anyone who denies its claimed divine origin to produce a text like it. {{cite quran|17|88}}{{cite quran|11|12-13}}{{cite quran|2|23}}<ref name="Denis"> Gril, Denis. "Miracles" Encyclopaedia of the Quran. </ref> | |||
| Critics believe that Muhammad was influenced by older ] and ] traditions, and therefore included many of the wonders known from the ] in the Qur'an.<ref>Wilson, p. 316</ref>. | |||
| The miracles in the Qur’an can be classified into three distinct categories: literary miracles, scientific miracles and prophecies. | |||
| ==Inimitability of the Qur'an== | |||
| '''Inimitability'''; is the theological and literary term for the matchless nature of the Qur'anic discource.<ref name="EOQ_I">Encyclopaedia of the Qur-an - Inimitability</ref> Islamic scholars believe that the insuperable literary style of the Qur'an is its main proof of its divine origin, they claim that Qur'an is written in a perfect inimitable style that cannot be matched by human endeavor.<ref>Encyclopaedia of the Qur-an - Miracles</ref> | |||
| Some support exists for the believe that qur'anic speech was unique among the linguistic productions of seventh-century Arabs; Ibn Ishaq's, a famous opponent of Muhammed, tells his fellow opponents that "... his speech is sweet, his root is a palm tree whose branches are fruitful, and everything you have said would be known to be false". | |||
| Many Muslim scholars believe that the speech in the Qur'an is like a rhymed pattern, which is characterized by the assonance at the end of the serses. <ref name="EOQ_I"/> | |||
| ==Scientific miracles== | |||
| {{mainarticle| Qur'an and science}} | |||
| The belief that Qur'an had prophesied scientific theories and discoveries has become a strong and wide-spread belief in the contemporary Islamic world; these prophecies are often provided as a proof of the divine origin of the Qur'an.<ref name="EOQ_SAQ"/> | |||
| The scientific facts claimed to be in the Qur'an exist in different subjects, including creation, astronomy, the animal and vegetables kingdom, and human reproduction. | |||
| "a time is fixed for every prophecy; you will come to know in time" ({{quran-usc|6|67}}). Zaghloul El-Naggar thinks that this verse refers to the scientific facts in the Qur'an that would be discovered by the world in modern time, centuries after the revelation.<ref name="EOQ_SAQ"/> | |||
| This believe is, however, arguable in the Muslim world, while some believe and support it, other Muslim scholars oppose the believe, claiming that the Qur'an is not a book of science; ], one of the most celebrated Muslim scientists of the classical period, assigned to the Qur'an a separate and autonomous realm of its own and held that the Qur'an "does not interfere in the business of science nor does it infringe on the realm of science."<ref name="EOQ_SAQ"> Ahmad Dallal, ], ''Quran and science'' </ref> These scholars argued for the possibility of multiple scientific explanation of the natural phenomena, and refused to subordinate the Qur'an to an ever-changing science.<ref name="EOQ_SAQ"/> | |||
| ==Prophecies== | |||
| Islamic studies claim that the Qur'an mentions events which were yet to come (at the time of its creation). These studies argue that such prophecies show another proof of the divine origin of Qur'an. | |||
| For example, some Islamic scholars claim that the ].<ref>Encyclopaedia of the Qur-an - Byzantines</ref> | |||
