Etymologically or in terms of origin, the word miracle comes from the word Mukjiz. When translated into Indonesian, Mukjiz means 'that weakens or defeats'. However, nowadays, the word miracle has also been absorbed into Indonesian. According to the Great Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), a miracle means a miraculous event or occurrence that is difficult to reach by human reason.

Miracles are closely associated with Prophets and Messengers. As a miraculous event, miracles are intended for Prophets and Messengers to weaken or defeat something that hinders them in spreading the Islamic religion.

As proven in various threatening events during their lifetimes, Allah's help appears as a miracle for Prophets and Messengers. For example, the miracle of Prophet Ibrahim AS who was able to withstand fire when burned by King Namrud, the miracle of Prophet Musa AS who split the Red Sea to escape from the pursuit of Pharaoh's army, and so on.

In addition, a miracle means proof of the power of Allah SWT, who is the most powerful. Therefore, the books revealed by Allah SWT to Prophets and Messengers are also classified as a miracle.

2. Evidence of Miracles

Miracles mean a privilege given by Allah SWT to His Prophets and Messengers. The position of miracles as something special has been explained in several verses of the Quran. Here are some evidence or excerpts from the Quran about the privilege of miracles for Prophets and Messengers.

1. Quran, Surah Ali-Imran verse 49, which reads as follows:

"(Allah will make him) a Messenger to the Children of Israel. (Isa said,) 'Indeed, I have come to you with a sign (miracle) from your Lord. Indeed, I make for you (something) out of clay (that is) like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign (of prophet hood) for you, if you are believers'."

2. Quran, Surah Ar Ra'd verse 38, which reads as follows:

"And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign (miracle) except by permission of Allah. For every time is a [specified] decree."

3. Characteristics of Miracles

Miracles are not only extraordinary and beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans, but they also represent something immensely great. However, because they come directly from Allah SWT through the intermediaries of the Prophets and Messengers, miracles remain different from other great events that occur in this world. To distinguish them, miracles have several characteristics. Here are some of the characteristics of miracles.

- They come directly from Allah SWT through the Prophets and Messengers.

- Often appear as proof of the truth of Allah SWT's teachings.
