Some Miracle Considerations in Islamic Thought
Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 47
Abstract
The theologians and philosophers of Islam accepted the reality of miracles as historical fact with some exceptions. Theologians generally de ne miracle as an ext- raordinary even that happens at the hand of the person claiming that he is a prophet. Baqillani analysed the concept of miracle metaphysically and argued that it is logically impossible for creatures. Farabi and Ibn Sina interpreted miracle as natural event wit- hin the theory of emanation. Possibility of miracle in Ghazali depends on the refusal of the causality principle. Allah creates knowledge for us concerning the natural events happen in the same way and miracles happen in speci c times. According to Ibn Rushd the refusal of causality means that we could not have knowledge of anything. Additi- onally, mere miracles are not suf cient for proving the prophecy of some person. In this article, the views of some Islamic theologians and philosophers will be examined and evaluated.
