Would it be correct to say that Allah ﷻ Acted In accordance with the needs of a Prophet? That is one asked something directly to behave or become in a way that is contrary to natural laws. Then at that moment Allah ﷻ Willed it. An example of this is in the story of Joshua when he told the sun directly to become still without explicitly supplicating to Allah ﷻ; although in the same story, at least in the book of Joshua, it was actually Allah ﷻ Who Made the sun become still.
Perhaps the same can be said with the prophets Sulayman and Isa. It was still Allah ﷻ Who Did these Feats.
On the surface this would entail that the Prophets had "authority" over things. But the Prophets' actions were verbal with no real efficacy.
Could you do a follow-up piece on occasionalism and causality?
It seems heavily linked to this issue and the difference between Atharis and other groups on those issues evidently pay a part in how this discussion is generally navigated in our circles.
