Allah -azwj has Sent Prophets -as with Divine Knowledge and, as a proof of their Prophethood when demanded by people, Enabled them -as to exhibit miracles, a feat impossible for other human beings. However, neither the Prophets -as nor their -as successors -as encouraged their followers to acquire mystical powers.
