What is the name of the Prophet who cured the blind and lepers by Allah's permission?

 

Answer Details

Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) is the Prophet known in the Qur'an for performing healing miracles by Allah's permission. The Qur'an describes these miracles in Surah Al-Imran (3:49), where Isa declares: "I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead, by Allah's permission." This verse makes clear that these healings were not from Isa's own power but were miracles granted to him by Allah as signs of his prophethood.

Isa's miracles also included speaking from the cradle as an infant, fashioning a bird from clay and breathing life into it by Allah's permission, and informing people of what they ate and stored in their homes. These extraordinary signs were given to him to confirm his message to the Children of Israel.

The other Prophets were associated with different miracles and roles. Sulaiman (Solomon) was given dominion over the jinn, wind, and animals. Musa (Moses) was given the staff that transformed into a serpent and the ability to part the sea. Dawud (David) was given the Psalms (Zabur), a powerful voice, and the ability to soften iron.
