MIRACLES CITED IN THE QUR'AN

DEAD BIRDS BROUGHT TO LIFE
FOR THE PROPHET IBRAHIM (AS)
When Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, show me how You bring the dead to
life.' He asked, 'Do you not then believe?' He replied, 'Indeed I do! But
so that my heart may be at peace.' He said, 'Take four birds and train

They tried to outwit him but We made them the lowest. (Surat as-

to it. We rescued Musa and all those who were with him. Then We
drowned the rest. There is certainly a Sign in that yet most of them are
not believers. Truly your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
(Surat ash-Shuara, 60-68)
He (Musa) said, 'Even if I were to bring you something undeniable?'
He said, 'Produce it then if you are someone telling the truth.' So He
threw down his staff and there it was, unmistakably a snake. And he
