The miracles of the prophets refer to technological developments in the Risale-i Nur

Abstract

Miracle is the rational, emotional and narrative evidences that Allah put forward by changing some of his customs in a wonderful way in order to confirm the claims of the prophets such as tawhid, prophethood and resurrection. For an event to be considered a miracle, it must meet certain conditions. As a matter of fact, the first of these conditions is that it should undoubtedly be the act of Allah. Similarly, some of these conditions are that the event is extraordinary, that it appeared in the hands of a prophet, that it took place with a challenge, that the time difference between the challenge and the miracle is not too long.

While some of the miracles reach us directly from Allah through the Qur'an, some of them reach us through various Islamic sources by the method of transmission from the Prophet or his Companions. Said Nursi, who developed an idea about the technological signs of certain miracles in the Qur'an, states in his corpus called Risalah an-Nur that about ten miracles herald the scientific and technological developments that will emerge in the future.
