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

 Glad tidings for the pious in the Holy Quran and the Hadith

We can understand the status of the saints with the fact that Almighty Allah has declared His love for them.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has obviated their wide recognition.  The saints are given glad tidings about their recognition personally as well.  In dreams, they are given glad tidings of high stations.  The grace and benevolence on these saints has been described by ‘Allama Nasiruddin Baydhawi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) in these words:

Translation: These are the glad tidings which are given to the pious through the words of Almighty Allah and the blessed tongue of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  Honors are rained upon them through pure dreams, divine inspirations and spiritual unveilings.  They are given glad tidings through angels before their demise.  The angels greet them in the hereafter.  They are given glad tidings of peace and solace and of being granted success and honors.  (Anwaar Ut Tanzeel Wa Asrar Ut Ta'aweel Lil Baydhawi, Surah Younus-64)
