There are many  historical miracles in the Qur’an as Allah almighty told us about some historical events which were discovered lately and no one at the time of the descending of the Qur’an  had got any knowledge about it ………………..

Allah almighty told us in the Qur’an about the civilization of ” Thamûd“, the people of this civilization did transgress beyond bounds in the lands so that Allah almighty had destroyed them.

The main characteristic of this civilization is building houses in mountains as it was really an amazing technique of building in the Arab land, look at the following photos that demonstrate the remaining of this civilization:
 

The miracle in these photos is that the Qur’an told us about the people of ”Thamûd” in an accurate description and how they build these buildings.

Allah says about the people of “Thamûd”: (And to Thamûd (people, we sent) their brother Sâlih. He said: “O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilâh (God) but Him. (Lâ ilâha illallâh: none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). Indeed there has come to you a clear sign (the miracle of the coming out of a huge she-camel from the midst of a rock) from your Lord. This she-camel of Allah is a sign unto you; so you leave her to graze in Allah’s earth, and touch her not with harm, lest a painful torment should seize you*And remember when He made you successors after ‘Âd (people) and gave you habitations in the land, you build for yourselves palaces in plains, and carve out homes in the mountains. So remember the graces (bestowed upon you) from Allah, and do not go about making mischief on the earth.”)(Sûrat Al-A‘râf- verse 73-74).

Also He almighty says in another verse: (Thamûd (people) belied the Messengers* when their brother Sâlih said to them: “Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? * ”I am a trustworthy Messenger to you * ”So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me * ”No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists) * ”Will you be left secure in that which you have here?* ”In gardens and springs * And green crops (fields) and date-palms with soft spadix * ”And you hew out in the mountains, houses with great skill * ”So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me *”And follow not the command of Al-Musrifûn [i.e. their chiefs: leaders who were polytheists, criminals and sinners] * ”Who make mischief in the land, and reform not.”)(Sûrat Ash-Shu‘arâ-verse 141-152).

Finally, we say that these texts are clear evidence that there is a historical miracle in the Qur’an.
