What will you do if a woman came to you with a baby, and said to you that this baby is a result of a virgin birth? I myself will roll on the floor laughing and of course I will never believe her, I think that everyone will never believe her too, but if the newborn baby spoke to you with a clear voice, you will think again, because it was made clear to you that there is something miraculous in here story, so it would be easy for you to believe her virgin birth story.
The Holy Qura'n tells us that Jesus Christ spoke in the cradle, as mentioned of the story about the birth of Jesus Christ, in the Holy Quran 19:16-36
[019:027] At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!
[019:028] "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
[019:029] But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
[019:030] He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
[019:031] "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
[019:032] "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
[019:033] "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
as you see All of their questions about the virgin birth were answered by a miracle, this was how people of that time accepted the virgin birth of Jesus Christ peace be upon him, and this is was the purpose of the Miracles performed by prophets peace be upon them all, and this why we call them miracles and not funny tricks, it should be noted that there is no mention of this miracle in the Bible, because it was written decades after the birth of Jesus, and not by any of the disciples of Jesus.
What will you do if a woman came to you with a baby, and said to you that this baby is a result of a virgin birth? will you think again if the baby spoke to you?

I think that the first miracle of Jesus peace be upon him has not been referred to in the Bible was deliberate .. Why? . Because they destroy the Christian basis of the current .. See the first words ,he said : I am Abdullah (a servant of God ,a slave of God ) Do Christians believe that?? Of course not , claiming that he was the Son of God and that he is a God. This is my opinion and God knows .

I believe that a miracle is something that can not be explained beyond any reason. a funny trick is something that can used to easily fool the impressionable.

The qualifications for what counts as a miracle here are rather thin. Just my opinion, of course, but I find it quite odd to not believe the part of the story that says a woman gave birth as a virgin, but then believing it when another story says, "Yeah, but the baby also spoke in the cradle."
I guess what I'm saying is if the verses about a speaking baby are believed, why weren't the others believed in the first place? What's so different about one claim from the other? Because they're retold again after a few hundred years in a different book? I'm not understanding the criteria here.
If I heard a baby speak in the cradle, I'm not sure how I'd react personally. Until I do hear one, however, I will contend that it's not going to happen. (And let me say that my standards of "speaking" would be along the lines of "Hey. How are you? Yeah...I'm a baby. And I speak. Don't get freaked out or anything."
You know -- like that eTrade baby.
But all of that is unimportant. It's 2012. A virgin can give birth. We have the technology. So in order for me to believe it's a miracle, the baby would have to regrow the arm of an amputee or something.
