Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, who are those called awliya (close friends of Allah) today by the Sufis, and what false miracles are attributed to them?
The Shaykh : This point is clarified by the answer to the previous question. The miracles attributed to them, while they are upon misguidance, are in reality humiliations, not miracles. They are a means of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) leading them astray. In truth, they are not miracles, but rather things by which the devils serve them in order to mislead the servants of Allah.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
