Is the Incident of Isra' considered a miracle, and how can it be so after technological advancements? And does the fact that the Surah is named "Al-Isra'" and does not mention Al-Mi'raj indicate that they are not connected? And how do we distinguish between a miracle and divine honor if the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not challenge the polytheists with it?

The definition of a miracle as an extraordinary event that is coupled with a challenge and is free from opposition, is the definition adopted by the Mu'tazila and those among the Ash'aris who agreed with them. However, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah refuted this definition in his book "Al-Nubuwwat" (Prophethoods).

A miracle is a sign among the signs of prophethood, whether it is extraordinary only for the people of its time or for all humankind, and whether a challenge was issued with it or not. The extraordinary nature that indicates the truthfulness of prophethood is achieved with this much, and its freedom from opposition is a condition for every sound proof.

The signs of the prophets are always extraordinary, and no one can oppose them. Therefore, their exclusivity to the prophet and their freedom from opposition are conditions for them. It is not sufficient for something to be merely extraordinary, because whether something is customary or extraordinary is relative and common among prophets and others. Furthermore, it is not a condition for the signs of the prophets that the prophet uses them as proof or challenges others to produce something similar; rather, they are evidence of his prophethood even if these two conditions are absent.
