but it is Allah will that He can let some of these knowledge known to others, his chosen slaves may be Prophets aur Aulia Allah. Allah can execute certain things on the hand of Prophet or Aulia Allah (His friends among his slaves).No one can ask question to Allah.Why he gave this special blessing to a particular person at a particular time. These are called Miracles means those thing for which human reasoning has no explanation either action or knowledge.
Mujizat: Miracles carried out by prophets are called Maujiza Plural Maujizat. Like Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam split the moon by will of Allah. (SHAQ UL QAMAR)
Karamat: Miracles carried out by Aulia Allah (His friends among his slaves) are called Karamat. (Many well established Karamat are from Sahaba Karam and from Pious Aulias through ought the Islamic history.
A muslim believe that Karamat/ Kashf is totally under control of Allah.
It is not related to the will or status of a person (Prophet/Aulia Allah) .
It is by Allah will and not the Desire/status of person have Role.
1.Yaqub Alaihissalam could not trace Yusuf Alaihissalam from the very mear well of Kunan
But By will of Allah he could smell the cloths of Yusuf Alaihissalam from far away Egypt.
2.He used Isa Alaihissalam for showing the cure of leprosy and blind but didnot give to many other Prophet including our Beloved the Most high Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. It is Allah will.
3.Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam within fraction time went to Meraj first going to Baitul muqaddas, leading the All prophet in Prayers,visits Paradise and Hell. Observe many people, takes the order of Salat many discussions with other prophets.....All happened within seconds.............Can you Prove by Logic
(..For sake of Science Knowledge as a student of science. I would like to say that We can prove it from time dilation theory.....But we have to believe even if theory fails......That is meaning of Muslim..Theory will come and go.... Whatever Allah and prophet has said is correct...Finish ....)
"(And all who obey Allah and the Apostle) are in the company of those on whom is the grace of Allah: of the prophets, the sincere lovers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous; Ah! what a beautiful fellowship." (an-Nisa', 69,70)
Sometimes a person other than Prophet may get Kramat from Allah.
Quran says that Hazrat Mariyam used to get fruits without season and Prophet Zakaria was not getting,But it does not mean that she became bigger than Prophet.As already being said that through kashf a lot of things can be seen/feel with the permission of Allah.like this one:
KARAMAT/KASHF OF SAHABA (copied from link here)
1 - Abu Bakr:'A'ishah narrated: "When he was on his deathbed, my father said to me: "Verily, you have two brothers and two sisters." So, I became startled at this, as I only had two brothers and one sister. He referred to his then-pregnant wife, Bint Kharijah, saying: "I see that she is pregnant with a girl," and that turned out to be exactly the case." [Reported by ash-Shatibi in 'al-Muwafaqat' (4/85), and Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned it in 'Majmu' al-Fatawa' (11/318)]
2 - Abu Qurfasah: "The Romans imprisoned a son of the Companion, Abu Qurfasah. So, whenever it was time for prayer, Abu Qurfasah would climb the wall of 'Asqalan (in Syria) and call out: "O, son! It is time to pray!" And, his son would hear him all the way from the land of the Romans." ['Majma' az-Zawa'id' (9/396), and it is authentic]
3 - Ibn 'Abbas: "Ibn 'Abbas died in at-Ta'if, and a bird, the likes of which had never been seen before, was seen at his funeral. The bird entered the hole in the ground where Ibn 'Abbas was to be buried. So, we looked and waited to see if it would come out, and it didn't. When his body was finally placed in the ground, we could hear the verse {"O, the one in rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased and well-pleasing!"} [al-Fajr; 27-8] being recited from the edge of his grave, but we were unable to find out who had recited it." [Reported by al-Hakim in 'al-Mustadrak' (3/543), and it is authentic]
So if you will see the Karamat e Aulia with Muslim visionyou will find the greatness of Allah.
Otherwise you may find something else if you consider that it has been done by the Aulia Allah, then it will become shirk,as Some of the groups are making Propaganda of Shirk in Aulia Allah Stories IN FAZAIL E AMAAL.(These stories are from older book of great Imams and scholars REPRODUCED WITH REFERENCE)
May Allah show all of us Right path.
SHAIKHUL ISLAM IBNE TAIMIYYA R.A. views on these Issues
"The miracles of saints are absolutely true and correct, by the acceptance of all Muslim scholars. And the Qur'an has pointed to it in different places, and the Hadith of the Prophet (s) has mentioned it, and whoever denies the miraculous power of saints are only people who are innovators and their followers." [al-Mukhtasar al-Fatawa, page 603].
Ibn Taymiyya says, "what is considered as a miracle for a saint is that sometimes the saint might hear something that others do not hear and they might see something that others do not see, while not in a sleeping state, but in a wakened state of vision. And he can know something that others cannot know, through revelation or inspiration." [Majmu'a Fatawi Ibn Taymiyya, Vol. 11, p. 314].
Ahlus Sunnah believe in Karamat of Auliya: By Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taimiyah (RA) [Sharh Al-Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyah]
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.
CONCLUSION
1.Actually Karamat are impossible thing. But everything is under the control of Allah will,power and knowledge. And doing impossible as possible is by Allah only.
2.Auliah has no role except Allah chosen them for manifestation of Power. So this should be approach of a muslim.
3.Their are certain things that can be disapproved as wrong through logic, But in the light of Quran and Hadith they are correct and certain.

4.A muslim should have an approach that even if something looking impossible but proved by Quran and authentic sources he should
May Allah guide us.
