There are people who freak out when they see ecstasy (wajd). About u

Alhamdullilah, ecstasy is a miracle. And is proved from The

Holy Quran, hadith and the narrations.
There are common persons, Muslims, and saints (Awliya Allah).  
In regards to the common persons, Allah Ta'ala states in The
Holy Quran:

'And no doubt, We honoured the children of Adam, and got them

ride in the land and sea, and provided them with clean things,
and preferred them over many of Our creations'
(Surah Bani Israel. verse 70)

The humans are superior and nobel in all creation, for this reason
he is called the noblest creation. Prophets and saints are found in
humans. It is the mankind who have been blessed with fairest
features, control over everything, intelligence and judgement.

answer is that they did possess the miraculous power, as long as
they kept their promise made to Allah Ta'ala:
'O children of Adam, had I not made a promise with you that you
should not worship shaitaan. Certainly he is your open enemy'
(Surah Yaseen. verse 60)

To worship anyone besides Allah Ta'ala is equal to worshipping

the devils as this is due to his deception.
Hence, some people (non-Muslims) have broken that promise Home
and became worshippers of shaitaan. Those who kept their

promise are worshippers of Allah Ta'ala.

'And (O Beloved Prophet) remember when your Lord brought

forth from the loins of Adam's(alaihis salaam) children their seed and
made themselves witnesses against their own selves saying. 'Am
I not your Lord?' All will say, 'why not, we all bear witness'. Lest
you should say on the Day of Resurrection, that we were not
aware of it'
(Surah Al-Ra'aaf. verse 172)

The covenant and agreement was taken from all the souls, which
included the Prophets, Saints, believers, infidels and hypocrites.
All those who have kept their promise are worshippers of Allah
Ta'ala and possessors of miraculous power (Sahib e karamat).
Those who broke this promise became worshippers of devil and
lost this respect, honour, sanctity and miraculous power.
So, the possessors of miraculous power are those who worship
Allah Ta'ala. And those who are in denial of 'possessing
miraculous power' became part of the group worshipping the
shaitaan.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah(Radi Allaahu Anhu) narrates that Prophet said,

'every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to worship Allah Ta'ala)
but their parents convert them to infidelity'. (Bukhari)
Till a person worships Allah Ta'ala, he is a possessor of the Home

Hazrat Khwaja Akhundzada Saif Ur Rahman(Rahmatullah Alaih)
activated the hearts of hundreds of thousands of disciples to do
silent dhikr (Qalbi dhikr).
So the miracles (karamat) the saints are able to perform is
because they are steadfast to the promise they made to Allah
Ta'ala, and are very faraway from the path of the shaitaan.

Allah Ta'ala states in The Holy Quran:

'And certainly, he (Isa) is a sign of the Hour. So do not have
doubts about it and follow Me. This is the Straight Path'
'And let not Shaitaan misdirect you. Undoubtedly, he is your
open enemy'
(Surah Al-Zukhraf. Verse 61,62)

Allah Ta'ala has shown the straight path. To follow the straight Home
path, one has to be obedient to Prophet because obedience to
Topics
Prophet is obedience to Allah Ta'ala. And if you deviate from
the straight path, shaitaan will lure you in its path. But the What is

firm on it, the angels descend upon them saying ' Fear not, nor
grieve and be glad in Paradise, which you were promised'.'
(Surah HaMeem Sajdah. verse 30)

Those who say our Lord is Allah, then remain firm on it. And
angels descend on them saying 'fear not nor grieve'. We are your
friends in this world and in the hereafter. And you will be
bestowed with Paradise.
From this we learn that those who remain steadfast on the
promise made to Allah Ta'ala are possessors of miraculous
power to perform karamat. They are given the glad tidings on
the Day of Judgement. On the Day of Judgement, everyone will
be for himself or herself, the sun will be brought near to
mankind, and mankind will drown in their sweat. But the angels
will descend upon on the pious (Awliya Allah), will get them
under the shade of their wings and say, 'do not fear'. These
conditions are for those who broke their promise and were on the
path of the shaitaan.

The miracle of the Saints on the Day of Judgement will be as

' 'Hospitality' from the Forgiving, the Merciful'

(Surah HaMeem Sajda. verse 32)

The possessors of miraculous power (sahib e karamat), the

honoured, the respected, and the righteousness in Paradise would
be the eternal guests of Allah Ta'ala.
On the Day of Judgement, the Friends of Allah will be granted
three miracles; protection from the hardship of the Day of
Judgement, protection from anxiety and the fear of the Day of
Judgement, and the help of the angels and assurance of 'not to
fear nor grieve'. A divine voice would be heard by them that 'We
were friends in the world, and will be friends in the hereafter too.
So, Allah Ta'ala would grant them miracles in the hereafter too.
Hence, the miracles (karamat) of the Awliya Allah are indeed
real and based upon right.' (Bar Haqq)

entire creation were created by Allah Ta'ala by saying 'be' (kun),

and it came into existence immediately. But to create the human,
pure clay was gathered from all over the world, mixed with pure
water, and then a human body was created by the Divine power
of Allah Ta'ala. This was the body of Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam).
Then, how come the deviant sects deny the miracle of human
beings. Allah Ta'ala made the human body by His Divine power.
If any body kisses the hands and the feet of this body, which
Allah Ta'ala created from His Divine power, how can it become
idolatry (shirk)?
What is their opinion of the angels who performed sajda before
Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam)? :

'Therefore, the angels fell down in prostration, all of them

together'
'Except Iblees, who became boastful that he was among the
infidels'
(Surah Swaad. verse 73, 74)

The prostration was for Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam) only. It was only
in the form of prostration of respect. Those who believe in the
leadership of Hazrat Jibreel(alaihis salaam), do kiss the hands and feet Home
of the children of Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam). And those who oppose

It has to be remembered that Allah Ta'ala did not prostrate to

Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam), but, Allah Ta'ala did recite salutations
(salaam) upon Prophet Muhammad .
So, the one who refused to prostrate Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam)
became kafir and was thrown out of the court of Allah Ta'ala.
Now! What will be the punishment to those who refuse in the
command of Allah Ta'ala, the command in which Allah Ta'ala
also participated with the angels (sending durood and salutations
upon Prophet ?)

The greatest miracle, respect, honour and virtue granted to

human being is that Allah Ta'ala made His creation to prostrate
the mankind (Hazrat Adam(alaihis salaam)). That is the reason Allah
Ta'ala gave knowledge (ilm) to the mankind.

'He created (the soul of) mankind (Muhammad)'

states that He bestowed respect, honour and sanctity to the
children of Adam(alaihis salaam).

'Undoubtedly, We have created man in the best nature'

(Surah At-Teen. verse 04)

Allah Ta'ala granted human beings a unique appearance, a

straight stature, and a beautiful face. These are the premiers of
the humans, the Awliya Allah.

Allah Ta'ala praises the magnificence, respect, honour and the

sanctity of the Friends of Allah Ta'ala (Wali). But the deviant sect
Mulla says that all humans are equal. They even call Prophet
Muhammad as their elder brother. Ma'az Allah.
Allah Ta'ala states in The Holy Quran:

Allah Ta'ala states in The Holy Quran:
'Friends on that day shall be foes to one another, except the pious

(Surah Al-Zukhraf. verse 67)

The friendships and relationships of the believers will be

beneficial on the Day of Judgement but only for the believers.
Thus, closeness to Prophet and the Awliya Allah will definitely
be beneficial.

Alhamdulillah, one will be our group (Ahlus Sunnah Wa

Jama'ah), who believes in the intercession of Prophet , and
believe in and accept the karamat of the Awliya Allah.

Hazrat Mariam(Radi Allaahu Anha) giving birth to Hazrat Isa(alaihis salaam)

without a father is the divine power of Allah Ta'ala. Mojaza of

Hazrat Asif Ibne Barkhiya(Rahmatullah Alaih) brought the throne of
Queen Bilkis in the blink of the eye. This is the divine power of

There are people who say that these miracles are stories. They
don't realize that they are denying The Holy Quran. The reality is
that such people have grudge and enmity towards the saints. If
these are stories, then Allah Ta'ala stated these stories in The

Allah Ta'ala said to Hazrat Yusuf(alaihis salaam), 'this is a beautiful
story'.
If these are stories, can the deviant sects explain why Allah
