Concerning the infallible Imams ‘ahowever, the only group that does not recognize them to have performed miracles and treat them as equal to others in the possession or otherwise of this merit is the Wahhabis.

Now, if anyone believes that there is a difference between karajat mu’jizah and a karamahemphasizing that mu’jizah refers to that which is performed by the prophets as narrated in the Qur’an while karamah refers to that which is performed by the infallible Imams ‘a as narrated in the traditions, it must be said that in any case, the pure Imams ‘a possess powers and forces which the common people undoubtedly do not possess, and it makes no difference whether you call it as mu’jizah or karamah.
It is thus stated in the book, Fath al-Majid:. Similarly, at the time when Medina was afflicted with famine, ‘Umar participated in the prayer for rain and it came. It must not remain unstated that we do not have reliable historical evidence concerning ‘Umar’s coming to Iran and the town of Shush in particular.
With regard to the famine, it must also be said that what has been recorded in reliable sources is that at the request of ‘Umar, ‘Abbas the uncle of the Prophet s performed this prayer.
Then, the said author adds that these miracles have no benefit and if there were any benefit, it only pertains to that time. In short, after the death of those possessing karamahthose miracles have no value and one should not expect them. Therefore, the Wahhabis believe in a sort of karamah for the Imams ‘athe Companions and leading figures of the religion, but they consider these miracles valuable only at the time when those possessing them are alive because once a person departs from this world, the mark of his existence, like that of other living creatures and even the non-living ones, ceases to exist.
They substantiate this statement of theirs with the verse. Of course, the prohibition of ziyarah for women is even more emphasized and the philosophy behind it is clear.
The Miracles {Karamah} of the Saints of God {Awliya’ Allah}
And whoever is wary of Allah, He shall make a way out for him3. Indeed Allah does not waste the reward of the virtuous4. And whenever the ksramat of the world benefit from his good deeds, meritorious rewards shall be granted to him. So, anyone who is of the opinion that the ornament of karamah befits a particular number of people and that these miracles are valuable and effective as long as their possessors are alive, is thinking and believing incorrectly because the quoted verses do not point to a particular person or group.
Meanwhile, the ruling on the truly faithful persons is like the ruling on water.
When they are alive, everybody can benefit from their presence and when they die and are buried, people can establish spiritual communion with them, turning to them for help and seeking their intermediation. In the same manner, underground water can be obtained by the spade, wheelbarrow and bucket.
In spite of this, the Wahhabis believe that anyone who departs from this world, even if he is the Prophet shis existence has no more effect and anyone whose existence has no effect is not worthy of tawassul and ziyarah to him would be of no avail, thus to seek someone who has no benefit and gain for one is a futile and vain action.
Thus, it is stated in the book, Fath al-Majid:. The holy shrines, sacred places and graves of the awliya’ which have become sites of ziyarahcharities, awliyx, etc. The commentator of this book thus writes: There were such places in the Hijaz before, but thanks to God, they awliay demolished through the able hand of King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al Sa’ud, and it is hoped that God would destroy the rest.
The issue that comes to mind is this: Why do the Wahhabis overlook the corruptions and perversions that plague the youth; the wealth that is plundered from Muslim countries; and the culture and civilization that are being destroyed in Muslim lands?

Yet, they persistently find fault with charities, alms and ziyarah to the graves of leading figures of the religion, and consider that all the problems of Muslims emanate from these issues. Another case highlighted by the Wahhabis and with which they have found fault is the consideration of some stones as sacred and making tawassul to them because they equate this recourse with a sort of idol-worship.
And they say, ‘These are our intercessors with Allah’.
And with this belief, they have thus written: It is not permissible for the stones aliya which people seek tabarruk and make vows upon to remain on the surface of the earth. And it is incumbent upon Muslims to obliterate them whenever they have the opportunity to do so.
The fact must be acknowledged that there is no Muslim country in which Muslims express reverence to a stone, regarding it as an intercessor, and if out of ignorance and awllya, some Muslims revere an old stone or tree, asking it for mercy, this practice must not be ascribed to Muslims in general. Of course, there are two stones and two hills whose Qur’anic sanctity made Muslims honor them. They are the following:.
The Qur’an enjoins the Muslims to perform prayer at this site:. Take the venue of prayer from Abraham’s Station. Indeed Safa and Marwah karxmat among Allah’s sacraments. Of course, it must be noted that if people honor them, and hold in high esteem the Prophet of Islam sthe pure Imams ‘athe Qur’an, and the religious personalities, it is because they are among the sacraments of Allah and honoring them indicates the purity of hearts:.
The Truth of Karamat-ul-Awliya’
And whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah—indeed akramat arises from God-wariness of hearts. Karaamat confirming this subject one may refer to many historical accounts and the sayings of leading Sunni personalities.
For example, Hadrat Zahra ‘a and other Companions used to invoke blessings from the soil of the grave of the Holy Prophet s ; ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar who strove to preserve the relics of the Holy Prophet s even tried to preserve a tree under which the Prophet s once rested; Ahmad ibn Hanbal deems it permissible to invoke blessings from the relics of the Messenger of Allah s ; and Sunni fuqaha believe that:.
It is important to note that for this reason, the Prophet s and his successors ‘a and their relics as well as other religious objects must be honored as they are the manifestations of the religion and truthfulness of revelation.
