Q: what is karamah?(text)

A: Karamah is an arabic word that refers to the performing of miracles. Karamah are miracles that are performed by saints. One should not depend on the miracles of saints as an indicating factor of their piety. However, Allah (swt) has given certain people the ability to perform miracles. So long as these miracles are performed without words of kufr, without taking control of jinn, ascribing partners with Allah (SWT) then it would be fine. We must not give people their rank on the miracles they perform.

We should value those that adhere to the basic fard and sunnah in all their matters. This to me is a greater miracle.

Imaam nawawi makes mention of miracles under the chapter of: the miracles of the friends of Allah are genuine.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
