There is a difference between believing that God is all powerful and could move a mountain at the command of a human who has faith, and believing that all who have faith can order a mountain into the sea. The verse in question says that if one has faith, then you can order a mountain to the sea.
Here, are you differentiating that miracles could only be granted to "one person" only and that a group of people supplicating for a miracle cannot have it? When Allah wills a miracle I don’t think he would discriminate us on an individual or a communal bases.. A prophet, on “one person” level,only commands a miracle,becouse everyone around him as a group asks to see it.. A prophet does not necessarily need a miracle himself after his prophethood declared..
You know that the history of humanity is full of miracles for people with belief and disbelief, initally disbelievers would only commit themselves to phophets and the books of Allah if only prophets showed miracles...Moving mountains is no different than moon split or the birds that Abraham cut into pieces that came back to him alive,jesus’ giving life to the dead people,... Or miracles showed to the believing people as in the cases of noah’s flood, carving of the red sea, protecting abraham from the heat of the fire, ishmael’s protection from the sacrifice, the miracle performed by the small birds during the attack on the Kabah by Abraha’s army with its elephant. Jonah's miraculous saving after being swallowed by a whale, Zechariah’ having a child in his old age or marry having a virgin birth after her parents pray for a blessed child.
The fact is that until significant amount of people became followers of prophets,most of them were allowed to ask for miracles to keep them in covenant with Allah . Miracles used to be a motivation for believers as Satan also used to deceit whilst they used to be subject to humiliation,discrimination and persecution from disbeliever. But as society advanced and belief in Allah and his books established, miracles were gradually banned both for believers and disbelievers as we see it in the case of islam.
Hypotheticals are all good and well, but I still maintain that Allah did not give us logic and intellect and tell us to study His creation and challenge us to find flaws in it,
What flaws shafique? There are no flaws in his creation but only his will which is what we call to be “destiny” in order to become test and trial parts of our lives.
only to have us believe that Allah does actions that offend the logic he gave us or go against the laws of nature He created.
Yes Allah does go out of his way to offend our logic so that we know that they are all coming from him and that sometimes the only cure is by worshiping him alone and asking goodness/help by sincere supplication. So many miracles happen at death bed shafique, haven’t you heard any story at all? So many patience told that the science is no longer helping, only to find out that god is working in miracleous ways:)
Can you explain how someone who commits suicide from a 200 mt bridge, can survive only with minor injuries? Or that perfectly healthy couples(generation of families) one day have a child with genetical disorder that is not seen even one in a few million chance? Do you think your logic or intellect can explain these? We should be gratefull for what we are given, all the time, you know that we could have been put to test by being deprived from so many things at the same time that we cannot explain by laws of nature..
Creation is flawless, and therefore should have the capacity for Allah to use it to perform miracles, without having to break it first.
I already expained that while some miracles are allowed to be explained by human science, some of them aren’t allowed as they are confidential to Allah.
In the wild, parrots don't talk the language we do, but when we host them in our houses, they can talk?
