Clarifying the precise difference between miracles and humiliations.

The Shaykh: So, in summary: Believing in such abominations and misguidance comes from people who do evil, but this is only in appearance. This opens the door for people like them to believe in the Dajjal when he is sent among them; why?
Because he will bring them, in their claim, miracles like those they narrated about one of their awliya (close friends of Allah). He says to the sky: "Rain!" and it rains. What greater miracle do you want? We do not call it a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person); this is an extraordinary event. But when we saw this man claiming lordship, what came from him among the extraordinary events was proof that these are not karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person), but rather deceptions and delusions by him upon the people. So, the decisive ruling between a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) and an extraordinary event that is a trial for people is that we look at the source. If the source is a righteous wali (close friend of Allah), then we believe in his karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). There are authentic and established karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) from some of the Companions and some of the Salaf (the earliest generations), and we never deny them. But we deny such karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) which are in reality insults. As for the essence of the karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), we believe in it, and it is a chapter of the extraordinary events, the extraordinary events in which the righteous and the wicked share. The distinguishing factor is righteous action. So, whoever has righteous action, then what comes from him among the extraordinary events is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). And whoever has wicked action, then what comes from him among the extraordinary events is not a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), but rather an insult. And sufficient for you as proof of this is what we mentioned to you of the extraordinary events that Allah—Blessed and Exalted is He—performs through the hands of the Dajjal.
And now we stop here; the discussion has been long, and our appointment to complete the rest of the discussion on the paragraphs of the hadith is in the next lesson, if Allah wills.
