Messengers cannot show miracles without Allah's permission:

                                Why does God show His miracles?

                                The disbelievers of the People of the Book demanded various miracles from the Prophet Muhammad:                              
                             | 
                          
                                                  
                            
                              
                              
                                The disbelievers of the People of the Book did not demand miracles in order to believe, but in order to make things difficult and not to believe. Even if a miracle came, they would not believe:

                                The racist and jealous disbelievers of the People of the Book have always denied the Books, the Prophets and the miracles unless they were revealed to one of them:                              
                             | 
                          
                                                  
                            
                              
                              
                                Nine miracles were given to Moses to show to Pharaoh and the Children of Israel:

                                Pharaoh and his men called the miracles magic, the book a book of magic and the Prophet Moses a sorcerer:
