Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, if the miracles (karamat) of the awliya (close friends of Allah) occur for the awliya, are these miracles a form of trial and testing, or are they solely a matter of need?
Answer:
It is a form of honor for them, a form of honor for them. They do not display them, nor do they boast with them. They do not display them; rather, it increases their humility before Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Therefore, they are not known except for the one who spreads it among people and says, "He has miracles," and that he is a liar who makes false claims. Yes, the wali (close friend of Allah) does not reveal this matter at all. Yes.
