Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One of the sects bases its call on mentioning the miracles (karamat) of its members, and some of this may involve lying. When they are rebuked for it, they cite what the Shaykh al-Islam mentioned in this work regarding the miracles of these awliya (close friends of Allah).

Answer:
The Shaykh al-Islam did not mention this for the sake of the methodology of the call; he mentioned it for the sake of distinguishing between the sects, because confusion arose among the people, confusion arose among the people between the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the enemies of Allah. He wants to distinguish between them. It is not for the sake of the methodology of the call. This is a matter of creed, this is a matter of creed, and it is not among the methodologies of the call, nor is a methodology of the call built upon it. It is built upon the principles of creed so that one knows how to distinguish between the people of misguidance and the people of truth. Yes.
