Abstract: In defending the authenticity of Mu?ammad’s prophethood, miracles (mujizat) were regarded as one of the main instruments to measure and verify the veracity of his prophethood. The Quran has been employed as auxiliary apparatus to render this idea in early Islamic discourse. This article aims to explore the concept of miracle in early Islamic literature, and analyse Qur?anic verses that have been utilised in Sirah Nabawiyyah as supporting evidence in the narratives. The study is qualitative in nature in which the researcher will focus on textual and comparative analysis. In its finding, the present study suggests that the use of Quranic references in this context appears as related to the personal style and approach of each author of Islamic works.
