Abstract :
As Rumi says, the irrationality or even the ultra-mind nature of the Prophet's learning and discourses, have made the miracles a necessity. At each period, these miracles have coordinated with the rate of people's understanding; depending on the invitation the prophet has made. The Holy Quran is the major miracle of Prophet Mohammad; and it asked the pagans and enemies to compete with it; the Islamic term for this is "Tahaddi". Of course, Quran had already predicted and even emphasized on the failure and definite inability of these dissenters. What is more, due to special events and occasions, other miracles occurred through the prophet; or even occurred for his dear sake. The books that discussed the prophet's manners and his words and sayings (Hadiss), reflected all this. And as a result they were also revealed in the Persian texts. This paper intends to analyze and express these issues within the four major areas.
