The Reality of Saintly Miracles
Karāmah stem from muꜤjizah
The scholar, Yūsuf b. IsmaꜤīl al-Nabhānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states, “In reality, the karāmah of a saint stem from the muꜤjizah of a prophet.”

Listen to what happens next! Hearing the call of a Companion, one bird and one deer came to him, with their heads lowered in respect. Witnessing this, the guest was amazed, and immediately exclaimed, “سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه.”
“Are you amazed by this?” Salmān al-Fārisī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said, “Have you seen a person who obeys his Lord, except these things (which have been
