The Difference Between a Sign and a Prophetic Miracle

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between a sign and a prophetic miracle?

The Shaykh:
The sign is the prophetic miracle, and the term "sign" is more accurate; "sign" is more accurate because it is the expression that came in the Qur'an,
And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
[Ya-Sin 36:41]
. This is a prophetic miracle.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:

The Shaykh:
And the Shaykh al-Islam has a book on this. He does not hold that the term "prophetic miracles" should be used, but rather that "signs" should be used. Yes.
