Critical Analysis of the Opinions of the Deniers of the Existence of Miracles in the Stories of the Qur'an with Emphasis on the Thought of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli

In many surahs, the Qur'an deals with the events of the past generations. Various aspects of these stories can be explored, one of the most important of which is the miraculous and extraordinary affairs that have been considered in the context of various events. Some rely on these stories based on the interpretation that science provides about the events of the world around human beings. They believe that the recounting of extraordinary affairs in the Qur'an's stories, in spite of the fact that the empirical science has been discovered and the explanation of many events, along with the advancement of human science and the emergence of different theories, can in many cases cause doubt in these stories. In contrast, another group of commentators has emphasized the existence of a miracle element in the stories of the Qur'an and accepted it. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is one of the commentators who, based on various arguments, criticized the views of the disbelievers. Analyzing his opinions in this area, using the descriptive-analytical method as well as the chart tool, reveals the bases and arguments in confronting the opposing miracle approaches in the stories of the Qur'an, which is considered in the present paper.
