Would it be correct to say that Allah ï·» 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 ï·» 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 ï·»; although in the same story, at least in the book of Joshua, it was actually Allah ï·» Who Made the sun become still.
Perhaps the same can be said with the prophets Sulayman and Isa. It was still Allah ï·» 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.
