Miracle in Light of Materialist Reading of History Analytical Study

Share the post :

The researcher seeks in this research to discuss one of the most important concepts, which is the concept of miracles within the framework of a debate about heritage and modernity.

 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.
