Introduction

 The Miracles of Imam Hasan

and Imam Hussain

(May Allah be well pleased with them)

 

 

The miracles of the Prophets, the Prophet’s Family (Ahle Bait), the Companions (May Allah be well pleased with them) and the saints are all true and are well established by the Holy Quran and Hadith.  The agreement of the scholars of the Ummah on this since the beginning of Islam is also well established.

 

They are those special servants of Allah Most High who spend every moment of their lives in the remembrance of Allah Most High.  They have given up the desires of their flesh and have abandoned the pleasures of the flesh.  They spent their entire energies in the propagation of Islam.  Allah Most High says about them: 

 

And certainly We wrote in the Book after the admonition that My righteous servants shall inherit the land.  Surah Ambiya (21:105)

 

The saints (Auliya) are those special servants of Allah Most High who spend every moment of their lives in the remembrance of Allah Most High.  They have given up the desires of their flesh and have abandoned the pleasures of the flesh.  They spend their entire energies in the propagation of Islam.

 

In the interpretation of this verse, some exegetes of the Holy Quran have written that the "land" meant here is the land of the paradise, while some others have said it means the land of this world.  ‘Allama Ibn Katheer (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has written that the saints are the inheritors of the lands of both, the paradise and this world.

 

Translation:  Allah Most High is describing those things about which He has made the final decision for His pious servants that there are glad tidings for them in this world and the next and the land of this world and the hereafter is their inheritance.

 

When Allah Most High has made them the inheritors of the land, then out of his extreme benevolence, Allah Most High has granted them power and command, which is called as "Karaamah"

 

It is one of the basic beliefs of the Ahle Sunnah that the miracles of the saints are true, as given in the most basic tract on beliefs "Sharh Aqaaid Nasafi":

 

Translation:  The miracles of the saints are true.  (Sharh Aqaaid Nasafi, Pg. No. 144)

 

The miracles expressed at the hands of the saints are the manifestation of the miracles of the Prophets and its blessings.  It shows to the world that the Prophet in whom this saint has faith, his religion is true and the one whom they accept to be the Prophet, their law is the true and correct law.  The miracles of the pious people and the saints affirm and support Islam.
