The Reality of Saintly Miracles
Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s now listen to some Madani pearls of wisdom about visiting the graves and shrines of saints, taken from a book published by Maktabat al-Madinah.
* Visiting the shrines of saints has remained a practice of our pious elders. Imam Khallāl رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه explains:
Whenever I had a problem, I visited the resting place of Imam Mūsā al-Kāẓim b. JaꜤfar al-Ṣādiq رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ and made dua with his wasīla. Allah then eases my difficulty and fulfils my wish.”[1]
* Imam al-ShāfiꜤī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه mentions:
Whenever I needed anything, I would offer 2 units of salah, head to the shrine of Imām Abū Ḥanīfa رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and make dua to Allah there. My need would then be fulfilled by Allah.[2]
* If a person wishes to visit the grave of a Muslim (whether they are a saint or not), he should offer 2 units of nafl salah at home first. In this, after reciting Al-Fātiḥa, he should recite Āyat al-Kursī once and Al-Ikhlāṣ 3 times, in each unit. He should then send the reward of this to the person whose grave he is visiting. By doing this, Allah will create a light for the individual in their grave, whilst the reciter will be granted immense reward.[3]
