[10:62]Listen, the friends of Allah shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
By Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah (RA)
وَمِنْ
أُصًولِ أَهْلِ السُّنَّةِ: التَّصْدِيقُ بِكَرَامَاتَ الأَوْلِيَاءِ
وَمَا يُجْرِي اللهُ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِم مِّنْ خَوَارِقِ الْعَادَاتِ فِي
أَنْوَاعِ الْعُلُومِ وَالْمُكَاشَفَاتِ وَأَنْوَاعِ الْقُدْرَةِ
وَالتَّأْثِيرَات ، وَالمَاثُور عَنْ سَالِفِ الأُمَمِ فِي سُورَةِ
الْكَهْفِ وَغَيْرِهَا، وَعَنْ صَدْرِ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ
وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَسَائِرِ فِرق الأُمَّةِ، وَهِيَ مَوْجُودَةٌ فِيهَا
إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۔
The testimony of the Karamat (charismata)
occurred by the Auliya (those righteous people who are close to Allah)
also forms part of the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah, as also the testimony
of all those extraordinary occurrences and habits which Allah manifests
through them in terms of various knowledges, spiritual experiences,
powers, and influences and those that are mentioned in the Qur'anic
Surah Al Kahf etc. regarding former communities and about the initial
period of the Sahaba and Taba'een of this Ummah till today and will
continue to remain till the day of judgement.
