Many discussed cases in topic of historical miracle are related to the previous nations and the prophets’ history, in this respect, this type of miracle of the holy Qur’ān can have an important role in illuminating of the history of the prophet and vindicating of the holy Qur’ān and Islam.This research which is an introduction to the historical miracle of the holy Qur’ān examines two classifications of occult news and historical miracle of the holy Qur’ān in the works of the Muslim scholars and then expresses two samples of occult news from the past people, ethnics and events and from the future along with some samples such as prediction of the victory of Rome on Iran (2-3/ Rome) and the name of “malek” in the Sura al- Yusof.

One of the aspects of the Qur’ānic miracle is the scientific miracle; some scientific issues were unknown to the people by the holy Qur’ān’s revelation and even for many later centuries and then the holy Qur’ān expressed it precisely. There are astronomical proposition among these issues such as the beginning of the creation, heavenly bodies and the end of the Universe which it is referred in the Qur’ān.

The holy Qur’ān is a type of miracle and scientific miracle is one of its dimensions. In meantime “the miracle of colors” is a subject which there is less discussion about it; while if we prove it, another aspect of that could be appear. This paper tries to prove that God implies on psychological effects of colors on human characteristics in many verses regarding the colors. Then the author explained the status and necessity of this topic, brings the verses which two terms of “Alvan” and “Lown” are used in them. Then, separately examines the colors of yellow, red, blue, green, white and black in the holy Qur’ān. The holy Qur’ān named a color, beyond all colors which is “divine and unity color” and is the best color.

Clarifying aspects of the miracle of the holy Qur’ān is one of the important issues that have engaged Muslim thinkers since the beginning of revelation; because of the greatness and extent of the holy Qur’ān’s contents, in every single era, a new aspect of the miracle of the holy Qur’ān is clear.

And scientific miracle of the holy Qur’ān is one of these aspects. This paper investigated some cases such as joined and apart of the heavens, spherical shape of the earth and some biological cases like water for survival, parity, etc.
