Summary/Abstract: The stories, which are one of the miraculous aspects of the Quran, are the events that have been conveyed to us by the word of Allah, lived in the past or are likely to be experienced. With these stories, Allah is aiming both the proof of the revelation and prophethood to the interlocutors of all revelations and to receive a warning, lessons and advice from the past experiences. Undoubtedly, the stories of the Quran have a clear response/answer on the floor of the first interlocutors of the revelation. The thing that falls to modern people is to be able to infer from general, moral and philosophical meanings that can appeal to all times from the same stories. The miracles that occur around the stories are conveyed to the literature as follows: Miracles are extraordinary events was created in the hands of those who claim to be prophets and the peoples are unable to create a similar one. One of the important issues related to the stories and miracles in the Qur'an is the question of whether they can be evaluated with criteria such as cause-effect, causality, simplicity, measurability, impartiality and compliance with historical chronology. The purpose of our article is to point out that the stories and miracles in the Quran can be evaluated within mentally and the framework of the criteria we have contacted above. So, It will be possible to create universal principles from them.
