With an overview of the miracles of the prophets we find that the miracle of any prophet has two distinct and indicators aspects which includes: The sensory distinguishing aspect and intellectual distinguishing aspect. As an example, turning of Mosa's cane to Dragon, Coming out of camel of Prophet Salih from the mountain and healing the sick by Jesus and so on can be considered examples of sensory miracles. But that part of the prophetic speech and actions derived from this speech and according to their affirmation, it is revelation and the word of God, includes rational aspect of miracle and basis and title of Prophet Is indicative of the miracles. That is a message from unconventional sources and delivers it to the people, and a common source is wisdom and human thought beside of reason and divine thought. Expression of divine wisdom is the highest and the most characteristic differentia of the prophets; because the human intellect evolves on through time, space and sensory experience. Therfore, humans lacks the ability to encompass future. Here, the purpose of future is not only time adverb, but this means that it is the result and consequence of laws and traditions which man achieves or has achieved it by his thoughts. Therefore, the element of time and place in human experience and reason are both essential, while in the process of divine wisdom, time and place have no role and maps. With regard to expression of divine wisdom in the human intellect, we can be realized one of the strong and continuous manifestations of divine miracle, especially great prophet of Islam at all times.

Belief in God’s existence is the most fundamental ideological issue and a matter for constant debate between the materialists and secularists and the believers in God. Therefore, the seekers of truth should first address the question as to whether God exists or not. There are different ways which would help find the answer; however, the most important ones are divided into five categories, including those proposed by the mystics, those proposed by the philosophers of religion, those proposed by the scholars of ilm al-kalām, those proposed by the natural scientists, and finally those proposed by the Holy Qur’an and sunnah. The above categories are further divided into a number of subcategories which are briefly discussed in this paper to facilitate further research and study. It is worth underlining that this paper mainly studies and compares the techniques proposed by the philosophers of religion and scholars of ilm al-kalām which are based on the Holy Qur’an and Shia hadīth collections.
