I was reading the Qur'an and something came to my mind , Prophet Noah,Hud, Abraham and Lot (Peace be upon them all) didn't exactly have a miracle to show that they were prophets, but of course I'm using the wrong word here, I'm asking that what Aya or evidence did Allah give to these prophets that made them reliable ? or is it simply since they were the most righteous and sincere among their people so they should be trusted when they say that they are prophets of Allah?
Edit: We can consider Abraham's reasoning as good evidence.
I think you need to read more Quran and also get a separate book on the life of the Anbiya'.
I would advice you to keep in mind that it is a sin to doubt the status of any prophet mentioned by Allah S.W.T as they are also part of our declaration of faith:
Amantu Billlahi
Wa malaaikati
Wa kutubihi Wa rusulihi
PICKTHAL:
They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.
We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,
And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.
Allah SWT made fire cool for prophet Ibrahim (as) that when the fire stopped burning, Ibrahm (as) got out as if he had just taken cool refreshing shower.
Not all miracles are told in the Qur'an, we learn some miracles of the prophets (pbut) through ahadeeth.
The Quran is against superstition. IMO, To base ones faith(trust) in a belief or person on the basis of "miracles" alone is blind belief/superstition. Iman (Faith) must come about through the use of one's intellect and reasoning to arrive at conviction. This is because "Belief" alone isn't enough---Guidance is sent for a purpose. That purpose is---to do God's will by having right beliefs that promote right intentions that lead to right actions for the benefit of all of God's creations. Therefore, the message/Guidance itself must have substance. If the message itself has substance---then it becomes a "sign" in itself and no other proof is really neccessary.
