Is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) proportional to the degree of faith?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do I understand from this that the process of degrees of faith means that a person is granted a karamah according to the measure of his faith?
The Shaykh : No, the issue has no relation to faith. A man may have stronger faith than another, yet no karamah issues from him, while a karamah issues from the other. Therefore, we find that the Companions, who are the best of people, have very few karamahs narrated about them, whereas when the third and fourth centuries came, and as time progressed, you encounter thousands of karamahs, all of which are fabricated.
