The Karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) of the Awliya (close friends of Allah) after their death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success! Some people say that the awliya (close friends of Allah) have karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) after their death, such as what sometimes happens to a person who dies and then his face is illuminated with light, and also the scent of musk that sometimes comes from some of them. Is there a valid basis for this?
Answer:
I mean, the awliya (close friends of Allah) have karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person). It may be that every child of Adam has karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) that manifest, but it may be that some of them have karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person). However, this does not obligate, cause, or justify that they are worshipped other than Allah, or called upon other than Allah, or that their karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) are attributed to them [as a reason for worship]. Their karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) are theirs, and worship is for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Therefore, it is not permissible to seek aid from them or seek help from their graves, and to say that they have karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) as the grave-worshippers do. Yes.
