[edit] Definition
It is believed that all miracles are done by the will of Allah (God). The Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, talks about miracles that happened to people, tribes and prophets. Miracles are not described as "miracles" in the modern definition, but large uncommon events all performed by God's will.
Also things that humans can not accomplish, but were done by God are also considered miracles, such as the Qur'an itself including many scientific, mathematical and other discoveries inside it.
