Question:
He says, may Allah keep you safe, in the rest of his question: Is the statement that the awliya have karamah just as the prophets do, even to the extent of reviving the dead, a statement of the people of the Sunnah and the community, or is it a statement of the people of innovation?
Answer:
This is not even a statement of the people of innovation; it is a statement of the disbelievers. No one revives the dead except Allah, and whoever Allah empowers to do so, such as Jesus (peace be upon him), it is a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle) for Jesus, a prophetic miracle that does not occur for others. So no one revives the dead except Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and whoever Allah grants a mu'jizah to, such as Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him), only. Yes.
