والمعجزة أمر خارق للعادة، قصد به إظهار صدق من ادعى أنه رسول الله تعالى
A miracle is an extraordinary occurrence intended to make manifest the truthfulness of one claiming to be God's messenger.

Three elements matter: an occurrence beyond the usual pattern, its relation to a claim of divine commission, and its evidential function in confirming that claim. An unusual event alone does not automatically prove that the person associated with it is a prophet.

Inferring prophethood from every rare occurrence would go beyond the premises. The theological argument concerns an extraordinary sign connected with a genuine claim to convey God's message.
