The short answer
The Qur’an lists Jesus’ miracles in two places (Qur’an 3:49; 5:110). He spoke to people while still in the cradle; he formed a bird out of clay, breathed into it and it became a bird; he healed those born blind and the lepers; he brought the dead to life; and he told people what they ate and what they stored in their houses. In chapter 5 his disciples also ask for a table of food from heaven, and it is sent down (Qur’an 5:112–115).
A little more context
Every one of these is said to happen “by God’s permission”. That phrase is the key to how Muslims read the miracles: they are real, they are signs of Jesus’ prophethood, and they are God’s work through him, as the parting of the sea was God’s work through Moses. The Qur’an mentions more miracles for Jesus than for any other prophet, and Muslims see no tension between that and his being a servant of God.
