The Prophet's miracles are very diverse. Since his Messengership is universal, he is distinguished by miracles connected with nearly all species of creation. When a glorified ruler's aide‑de‑camp enters a city bearing diverse gifts, a representative from each section of the population welcomes him cheerfully and in its own language.

Third sign:

The Prophet's miracles are very diverse. Since his Messengership is universal, he is distinguished by miracles connected with nearly all species of creation. When a glorified ruler's aide‑de‑camp enters a city bearing diverse gifts, a representative from each section of the population welcomes him cheerfully and in its own language.

Likewise, when the Eternal Sovereign's supreme Messenger honored the universe as an envoy to humanity and came bearing the Creator's light of truth and spiritual gifts related to the truths of the universe, he was welcomed as the Prophet by each species—from mineral elements to plants, animals and human beings, and from the moon and sun to stars—each in its own language and bearing one of his miracles. It would require many volumes to mention all of his miracles. Pure‑souled meticulous scholars have compiled many volumes concerning his Prophethood's proofs, so here we point out only briefly the main categories of those miracles unanimously accepted as authentic.

These proofs fall into two main categories. The first (irhasat) includes miraculous events before his birth, at his birth, and before he declared his Prophethood. The second category pertains to all other proofs and has two sub‑categories: the wonderful events after his death and those manifested during his Prophethood. This latter group is subdivided into proofs manifested in his own person, moral conduct, and perfect character, and those miracles concerned with the outer world. This second subgroup consists of miracles related to spirituality and the Qur'an, and those related to material reality and creation. The latter category is subdivided further into miraculous events during his mission that either broke the unbelievers' recalcitrance or reinforced the believers' belief. This branch has different kinds, each having many instances and having been, at least in meaning, confirmed unanimously (e.g., splitting the moon, water flowing from his fingers, satisfying many people with little food, and being addressed by animals, trees, and rocks). The second branch includes some future events that happened just as he foretold.[1]
