Definition of saintly miracle and its (Shar’i) ruling

Dear Islamic brothers! We will further listen to saintly miracles of Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. But before this, let’s listen to what ‘saintly miracle’ is. Let’s listen to its definition.

It is stated on page 36 of Karamaat-e-Sahabah a book published by the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami, Maktaba-tul-Madinah: If a pious believer performs something extraordinary (that is against the nature) and astounding which he does not perform normally, is called a saintly miracle (Karamah). Whereas if such a thing is performed by Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام before [the declaration of] Prophethood it is called ‘Irhaas’; and if it is performed after the declaration of Prophethood, then it is called a Mu’jizah (miracle). If a similar act is performed by an ordinary Mu`min (true believer) it is called Ma’oonat. If such a thing is performed by a non-Muslim as per his wish, then it is called as Istidraaj. (Karamaat-e-Sahabah, pp. 36)

‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: 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)
