The status of saints and their miracles in light of the Holy Quran and the Hadith

 Introduction

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran:

There is for them the good news (of honor and recognition) in the life of the world, and (also of forgiveness and intercession) in the Hereafter. (Or there are blessed spiritual visions in this world in the form of pious dreams, and in the Hereafter in the shape of effulgent disclosures of Allah’s absolute beauty and sight.) The commands of Allah never change. That is the colossal achievement.  Surah Younus (10:64)

In this verse, Almighty Allah has expressed the greatness and high status of the saints in this world and in the hereafter; that both this world and the hereafter have been made glad and mirthful for them.  Almighty has granted them greatness in this world and has honored them in the hereafter.  Imam Suyuti (May Allah shower His mercy on him) writes in the exegesis of this verse:

Translation: Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him) relates in the exegesis of this verse that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  The glad tidings of this world are pure dreams which a slave sees or others see about him (or her).  The glad tidings of the hereafter mean paradise.  (Al Durr Al Manthoor Fi Tafseeril Ma'athoor, Surah Younus-64)
