The truth of Karamat-ul-Awliya'
|
(2) Karamahs (extraordinary events) performed by Awliya' (pious people) A: Karamah is an extraordinary event which Allah (Exalted be He) bestows on a pious person as an honor to protect him against harm, benefit him, or help him defend people's rights. But a pious person cannot perform these events whenever he wishes just as the prophet could not perform miracles by himself whenever he wished. It is Allah Alone Who helps them to do all these things. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
Also pious people are not empowered with any superiority to change things in the heavens or on earth except for what Allah enables them just like all other humans. They can make changes in things like farming, building, trading, and such works which ordinary humans do
with Allah's Will. In Barzakh, pious people cannot intercede for anyone whether alive or dead, as Allah (Exalted be He) says:
Moreover, He says:
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
