Signs (of the Resurrection) on Earth and within Selves shown

" The difference between the miracles of Allah and other supernatural

[events] artifices is in the challenge these miracles presented to

the strengths of the people to whom a particular messenger has sent.

A true miracle defies all natural laws established by Allah, which

could not be violated or suspended, except by His Will. The exact

object of each Messenger's miracle was a challenge to particular

traits of each of the groups of people to whom they were sent. A

miracle would be futile if it did not achieve its desired effect on

its witnesses. For it to have full impact, it should relate to an

area of knowledge in which its intended audience are well versed. For

example, if the people for whom a Messenger has been sent excel in

medicine, sorcery or philology, the miracle should also concern these

fields. Only in this way can a miracle fulfil its purpose. This rule

has been observed in all the divine miracles performed by the

Messengers and Prophets of Allah. Divine miracles are not limited to

challenges they present to the people before whom they occur, but are

also designed to provide them with the capacity to perceive them as

signs of His power over all things in the Universe. "
