What is the truth behind Miracles ? The truth may hurt about Ajmer Sharif Dargah ?

In the name of Allah the most merciful and beneficial 

WHAT IS MIRACLES OF SAINT - IT'S CONCEPT AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  AUTHENTIC  AND FALSE MIRACLES. THE FALSE ABOUT AJMER SHARIF DARGAH.

The Miracles (mujizah and karamah)

The term Miracle (Mu’jizah) is something that violates the natural phenomena earlier scholars used Karamah as a synonym of Mu’jizah, but later generation of scholars differentiated between the two. Mu’jizah is used for prophet and Karamah is used for the wali (a favorite of Allah), and the result of occurrence for both is contravention of natural phenomena. All the prophets from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all) have been ordered to mention that they no longer have any power over the matters that they do miraculously, except with the help of Allah.

..."while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He wills." (Al Quran 2:255)

The Miracle of saints

The Miracles (Mu’jizah) of Prophet serve the purpose of advantage in religion. but as for the Miracles (Karamah) of saints, this can be similarly divided into three firstly if religion gains honor through the act then we call it a great act. Secondly, if it satisfies something applicable, of the non-obligatory element – then we recollect it as the blessing of Allah on that character of the worldly gains. Thirdly, the action which leads to illegitimate act on shariah, then we disagree with it strongly due to the fact this act leads one for the retribution of Allah.

Sufis most of the time claim to possess the Karamah which they called it as Ilham or Kashfs (intuition, insight, things which are unseen). Which could manifest to someone is of several kinds. One type is psychological, which is common with both Muslims and Non-Muslims. Another kind is religious, which comes thru revelation. And third type is satanic, which comes through the jinn.

Shaykh ul Islam ibn Tahmiyaa said: People may additionally enjoy some type of kashf or Ilhaam in their dreams by way of spiritual practices. This is Phycological which is the primary form of kashf. The second type is conveyed with the aid of the angels and this is the noblest type, as is indicated via the Quran and Hadith. Thirdly, which is achieved by way of outdoor forces, inclusive of the jinn who tell the soothsayers many things. That is something that is well known, particularly to the ones who have experienced it, and we've come to recognize approximately these items on many events.

(Al safadiyah p187-189, Topic intuition).

Ibn Al Qayyim said: Understanding what is there in someone’s residence or what he acquires what is in his hand or beneath his garment, or whether her wife is pregnant with a boy or girl after the gender has been decided, or things that cannot be visible which includes things that are taking vicinity far away, and so forth. This practise could come from the shaytaan and from one's own whim and fancy, hence it may happen to the Non-believers along with the Christians and people who worship idols or fire. (Madaarij al-saalikeen, 3/227, 228)

In order for it to be regarded as a karaamah, it is stipulated that the only at whose hand this miracle happens ought to be adhering strictly to Islam and following sharee‘ah. If that isn't always the case, then these terrific matters happen are the end result of devilish work.

Authentic examples of Karamat

The fact that karaamaat (miracles) took place to the righteous of this ummah is something that is tested and there is absolute confidence regarding it.

Qays ibn Abi Haazim stated: I noticed Khalid ibn al-Waleed in Heerah. A few poisons were introduced to him and he stated: what is this? They said: poison that kills in a very short time. He stated: bismillah (in the name of Allah), then he swallowed it and not anything horrific took place to him.

Sharh usool i‘tiqaad ahl as-sunnah wa’l-jamaa‘ah, 6/498; al-bidaayah wa’n-nihaayah, 6/382

Ibn Qayim said that I saw astounding examples of the intuition of shaykh al-Islam Ibn Tahmiyyah. He advised his companions about the Tatars entering ash-sham in 699AH, and that the Muslim armies could be defeated, but there would be no widescale killing or taking of prisoners in Damascus, and that the (enemy) major interest would be in seizing wealth. This turned into before the Tatars took any attack or action. Later, He informed people and commanders in 702 AH they would be defeated by Muslim and he swore more than 70 oaths about this event. Ibn Qayim confirmed that it was said in affirmation and certainty without any hesitation and doubt and he was present there. His intuition about the details of those battles was awe-inspiring indeed.

Fabricated Karamats of saints

The fans of shaykh ‘Abd Al-Qaadir al-Jilaani have informed many lies about him and attributed to him many lies which he never said, which go towards the way he lived and his call to observe the salaf and keeping himself away from innovations. There are many lies available in his qaseeda whose writer is unknown , it claims that he (Abdul Qadir Jilani) was exposed to the light of Muhammad earlier than creation, and that he was available with Jibril and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) at the time of first revelation, and that he was available with Noah (peace be upon him) in the ship, and he saw the flood, and that he was with Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was heave into the fire, and that the fire became cool due to his du’aa’ and that he was with Ismaeel, and the ram was dispatched down because of his fatwa, and that he was available with Yaqoob (peace be upon him) when he lost his eye sight, and his eyes were healed through his spitting on them, and he's the one who brought Idrees (peace be upon him) to Jannat al-Firdaus(highest level in paradise), and that he was available with Moosa (peace be upon him) when he said to his lord, and the staff of Moosa came from his staff; and that he was available with ‘Eeesa in the cradle; and that he is the one who gave Dawood the beautiful voice in recitation. And he made even more outrageous claims that, he claimed that he's Allah in three lines of his qaseedah.

One of the falsehoods fabricated by some of extremist people who says that Moinuddin Chishti (famous by name of Khawaja Garib Nawaz) went to Madinah, where he went to the grave of the prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and spoke with him. However, it is not possible, because the prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) died and his worldly life came to end. So, whoever claims that he saw the prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or spoke to him after his death is a liar.? Furthermore, it also fabricated that Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) lengthen out his noble hand to him, and he kissed it, and that is widely accepted, recognised and believed by some of the fans of his tariqah?

The difference between the two stories

The fabricated stories have no basis in sunnah (prophetic teachings and his narration) and is contrary to Islam in many ways. Certainly, these false stories are things that become extensively widespread among those who are ignorant about the religion. These fabricated stories enclose things that go against the law of Allah which have bad effects on common folks. In one of hadith prophet (peace be upon him) said when the Bani israeel were doomed they started to tell stories."

(hadith classified as hasan [good] by sheikh Al Albani in Al silsila al saheehah)

Beyond that the authentic stories never go gainst the law of Allah and is beneficial which teaches the people about religion and motivate them to do the righteous deeds. A man may sit with another man and not learn anything and he may sit with knowledgeable man and get up with learning something. It was said by Abd Allah ibn Zayd to whom narrated by Abu Qilabah.(Hilyat Al Awliya)

Conclusion

So, it is essential to check one who perform miracle in opposition to the Qur'an and sunnah. If his behaviour is in accordance with the book of Allah and the sunnah of his messenger, then he's a righteous person, whether he posess miracles or not, if it is not in accordance with it, then he isn't a righteous, despite what miracles he performs.

Ash-shaafa‘i stated: if you see a person walking at the water or flying through the air, do not be fool yourself with helping them before judging about them on the basis of the Qur'an and sunnah.
