I saw several when I lived in Egypt, since they were always covered in the local paper.
Every once in a while, a farmer would discover a melon, or a baker a loaf of bread, etc., that appeared to have a verse from the Qur'an on it, in Arabic. Those miracles were always covered, with photos.
The Egyptian Gazette had a woman columnist who was not only a devout Muslim, but a believer in all kinds of woo. (Which she insisted were "scientific."
She claimed to know, with absolute certainty, that the animals sacrificed during the Eid festivals felt no pain and were happy to be sacrificed. My lying eyes call bullshit on that one, too. I've seen animals sacrificed for those festivals and saw no evidence of happiness.
No apparitions of Mo, for the obvious reasons you point out. Though the Quitbay Mosque in Cairo, built in 1492 IIRC, has a preserved footprint of Mohammed on display. I saw that miracle myself. It was just a footprint in dried plaster or mud. Didn't glow or levitate while I was there.
But we all know miracles are allergic to skeptics. Or as some smart-ass once flipped that idea - reason only visits where it's welcome.
