The echoes of the positions rejecting or skeptical of the news of miracles, even if they were faint, have continuations in the modern era. The eclectic schools emerged on the margins of the enlightenment movement, which attempted to explain miraculous events with scientific, experimental explanations. Those schools say that the aspect of the miracle was a combination of not
realizing the real causes of phenomena at that time, in addition
to the tendency of oral stories to exaggerate everything that is sacred.
These trends are diverse in ideas and perspectives, therefor, the researcher tries to review some of the views of the modern trends in the Islamic world, which try to find a new theological vision of the miracle that is consistent with what is "sensually" acceptable, by talking about a "symbolic interpretation" such as "using proverbs" or "distortions of oral memory" etc., and then trying to refute that.
