Brother Hesham Azmy also known as noorullah produced a article refutin' the claim that the Prophet (P) did not perform any miracles.
The quote these miscontrued verses to strenghten their conjectures:
They swear their strongest oaths by God, that if a (special) sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say: certainly (all) Signs are in the power of God: but what will make you (Muslims) realize that (even) if (special) Signs came, they will not believe. (Holy Qur'an 6:109)
They say: "We shall not believe in thee, until thou causest a spring to gush forth for us from the earth, or (until) thou hast a garden of date trees and vines, and causest rivers to gush forth in their midst, carrying abundant water, or thou causest the sky to fall in pieces, as thou sayest (will happen), against us; or thou bring God and the angels before (us) face to face; or thou have a house adorned with gold, or thou mount a ladder right into the skies. No, we shall not even believe in thy mounting until thou send down to us a book that we can read." Say: "Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man- a messenger?"
(Holy Qur'an 17:90-93)
This was his response:
Miracles of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are mentioned in both the Qur’an and Hadith. The Holy Qur’an collectively mentions them in many places; for example, we read,
"And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery, and say, This is nothing but evident sorcery." (Holy Qur'an 37:14-15)
Imam Az-Zamakhshari wrote in his commentary on this verse,
If they see one of God's Clear Signs like splitting of the moon,
"turn it to mockery" i.e., exaggerate in mockery or invite one-another to make fun of it.
(Tafsir-ul-Kashaf by Imam Az-Zamakhshari, Volume 3, page 337).
Imam Fakhr-ud-Deen Ar-Razi wrote,
The fourth thing told by God the Most High about them is that they say,
"This is nothing but evident sorcery." i.e., If they see a miracle, they make fun of it because they think it is a sort of sorcery.
(At-tafsir-ul-Kabir by Fakhr-ud-Deen Ar-Razi, Volume 26, page 128).
Imam Al-Baidawi wrote,
"When they see a Sign" i.e., a miracle that proves the truthfulness of the speaker.
(Tafsir-ul-Baidawi, page 590).
Al-Galalin wrote,
"When they see a Sign" i.e., like splitting of the moon.
(Tafsir-ul-Galalin, page 424).
Another example: "But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, This is (but) transient magic." (Holy Qur'an 54:2)
Imam Az-Zamakhshari wrote,
When they saw succession of miracles and Signs, they said,
“This is (but) continuous magic”.
(
Tafsir-ul-Kashaf, Volume 4, page 308).
Al-Galalin wrote,
“a Sign” i.e., a miracle of his (peace be upon him).
(
Tafsir-ul-Galalin, page 508).
Third example: "How shall God guide those who reject Faith after they accepted it and bore witness that the Messenger was true and that Clear Signs had come unto them?" (Holy Qur'an 3:86)
Imam Az-Zamakhshari wrote,
"Clear Signs (in Arabic Al-Bayyinat)" are proofs from the Qur'an and other miracles by whom prophethood is established.
(Tafsir-ul-Kashaf, Volume 1, page 442).
The Arabic word
"Al-Bayyinat" often comes in the Qur'an to mean miracles as in 2:87, 2:253, 4:153, 5:110, 7:101, 10:13, 10:74, 16:44, 20:72, 40:28, 57:25, 64:6 and others.
Fourth example: "Who doth more wrong than he who inventeth a lie against God or rejecteth His Signs? but verily the wrongdoers never shall prosper." (Holy Qur'an 6:21)
Imam Al-Baidawi wrote,
"Or rejecteth His Signs" as disbelieving the Qur'an and miracles, and calling them sorcery.
(Tafsir-ul-Baidawi, page 171).
Imam Az-Zamakhshari wrote,
They combined two contradictory positions: they told lies against God without proof and disbelieved what is proved by sharp evidence ........ went disbelieving the Qur'an and miracles, called them sorcery and did not believe the Prophet (peace be upon him).
(Tafsir-ul-Kashaf, Volume 2, page 10).
Imam Ar-Razi wrote,
The second cause of their failure is their disbelief in God's Signs that are meant to be their disbelief in Muhammad's miracles and denouncing them and their denial of the Qur'an to be an evident overwhelming miracle.
(At-tafsir-ul-Kabir, Volume 12, page 181).
Fifth example: "When there comes to them a Sign (from God), they say: "We shall not believe until we receive one (exactly) like those received by God’s Messengers." God knoweth best where (and how) to carry out his mission. Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before God, and a severe punishment, for all their plots." (Holy Qur'an 6:124)
Imam Ar-Razi wrote,
"When there comes to them a Sign" i.e., whenever an overwhelming miracle appears to them.
(At-tafsir-ul-Kabir, Volume 13, page 175).
