that the person who has three qualities will become a friend of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, viz. (1) generosity like the river (2) affection like the sun (3) politeness and humbleness like the earth.’ (Seer-ul-Aqtaab, pp. 136)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

In addition to possessing many apparent and spiritual qualities, Sayyiduna Khuwajah Mu’eenuddin Chishti Ajmayri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was an extremely honourable and glorious holy man and an elevated saint of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. By virtue of his blessing-filled gaze not only did many sinners repent of their sins, but millions of non-Muslims also embraced Islam. Let’s listen to some faith-refreshing saintly-miracles of Sayyiduna Khuwajah Ghareeb Nawaz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, but even before this, let us understand what the definition of a saintly-miracle is.

Definition of Karamah

Defining Karamah in Bahar-e-Shari’at, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated: Anything contrary to the normal or usual that is performed by a saint, is called a Karamah (saintly-miracle).

(Bahar-e-Shari’at, part 1, vol. 1, pp. 58)

Furthermore, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: The saintly-miracle of Islamic saints is true and the denier of it is a deviant person. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, part 1, vol. 1, pp. 269)

‘Allamah Maulana Mufti ‘Abdul Mustafa A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: If a pious true believer performs something very unusual and strange which is not performed normally, it is called a ‘Karamah’ (saintly-miracle). Similar things if performed by the Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام before their declaration of Prophethood, this is called ‘Irhaas’ and after their declaration of Prophethood it is called a ‘Mu’jizah (miracle)’. If the same thing is performed by ordinary true believers, it is called ‘Ma’oonat’ and if an unbeliever performs such an action as per his wish, it is termed as Istidraaj. (Karamaat-e-Sahabah, pp. 36)
