Debate of "Miraculous", "Supernatural", its Impact on Emergence of Deviant Religious Movements (Babism, Baha'ism) as a model

Share this post :

The research approach to understanding the miraculous and the supernatural, and their relationship with deviant movements, seems important, because these movements rely on two contradictory aspects.

 The first is that these movements rely on the miraculous and the supernatural to prove their truthfulness and argue against their deniers. The second is that the deniers of these deviant movements rely on the miraculous and the supernatural to refute these claims and demonstrate their deviation. Thus, the paradox appears in the fact that the miraculous and the supernatural are on opposite sides, regarding the argumentation and persuasion, and proving existence and non-existence! This is how the research issue presents.

This research aims at showing whether there is a contradiction or inconsistency in the relationship between the claims of deviant religious movements to deny the miraculous and attempt to interpret it in the sacred texts, on the one hand, and its adoption, on the other hand. This begins with observing the phenomenon historically, describing its obstacles and problems, and stating the opinion on the founding ties. This is accompanied by presenting an approach to the religious understanding of the miraculous and the supernatural, presenting an analytical vision of the miracles of the prophets (peace be upon them), and the difference between them and deviant movements, and their connection to the miraculous and the supernatural.
