Abstract :

Miraculous phenomena is one of the most significant  issues that are discussed by Quranic scholars, particularly theologians. Analysis of this issue from the perspective of Islamic scholars, especially thinkers, such as Allameh Tabatabai (May God bless him) is leading in  many theoretical discussions in the field of recognition of miracles and resolving  them. Reading the  reflections of this Islamic thinker on the miracle philosphy leads us to find out that  from  Allama’s  perspective, historically, the emergence of this debate is not clear. But we know that first this discussion is very old and has been in the field of religion, and secondly, the most important questions in this regard is in the field of the possiblity of miracle and this point keeps the prsent debate  in connection with causality. From Allameh Tabatabai’s viewpoint, possibility of miracles has been proved  in terms of intellect, science, and the Quran, as sources of knowledge, but its howness is still accompanied by many questions. He attributes miracle to the unknown causes that could not be recognized by human wisdom
