Question:
What is the criterion for the miracles (karamat) that occur for a person?

Answer:
If the miracles are accompanied by righteousness and uprightness, they are assistance from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for the one through whose hands they occur. But if they are accompanied by sorcery and superstitions, they are from Satan and not from Allah. They are merely Satanic deeds intended to lure people to this person. However, if they are accompanied by righteousness, uprightness, and religion, they are a miracle (karamah) from Allah.
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
(62) Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve (63) Those who believed and were fearing Allahأَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ
[Yunus 10:62-63]
These are the awliya (close friends of Allah), the believers who are mindful of Allah. As for the helpers of the devils, the sorcerers, the fortune-tellers, and the superstitious, these are among the awliya of Satan, not among the awliya of Allah. So what occurs through their hands is merely Satanic deeds, sorcery, and superstition. They are not miracles (karamat), yes.
