Regarding Miracles
The New Testament references to Jesus’ miracles are far too numerous to reproduce here, two examples ought to suffice:
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know” (Acts 2:22).
And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all” (Matthew 12:15).
Moreover, the Qur’an attests to Jesus’ miracles:
Surah 19:29-30,
“she [Mary] pointed to the babe. They said: ‘How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle? He [Jesus] said: ‘I am indeed a servant of Allah: He has given me Revelation and made me a prophet.”Surah 5:110,
“Then will Allah say: ‘O Jesus the son of Mary! recount my favor to you and to your mother. Behold! I Strenthened you with the holy spirit, so that you spoke to the people in childhood and in maturity…you made out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My leave. And behold! you brought forth the dead by My leave…”
As for Muhammad, the Qur’an attests that he performed no miracles,
Surah 17:91-95,
“They say, ‘We will not believe thee till thou makest a spring to gush forth from the earth for us…[a number of other miracles are requested] or till thou goest up into heaven; and we will not believe thy going up till thou bringest down on us a book that we may read. Say: ‘Glory be to my Lord! Am I aught but a mortal, a Messenger?’”Surah 29:50,
“They say, ‘Why have signs not been sent down upon him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The signs are only with God, and I am only a plain warner.’”
While the Qur’an is clear in stating that Muhammad did not perform any miracles stories of his miracles come later, in the Hadith. Apparently, once Muslims began to debate Islam with Jews and Christians they began to exaggerate Muhammad’s life.
Incidentally, the Hadith records that at some point within Muhammad’s lifetime the moon was split into two and it is specifically mentioned as a sign or miracle. The Hadith does not relate how or when the moon was put back together (see Vol. 4, Book 56, # 830-832; Vol. 5, Book 58, # 208-211; Vol. 6, Book 60, # 387-390).
