The status of saints and their miracles in light of the Holy Quran and the Hadith Free Download Pdf Book In English
The grand
status of the saints as described in the Holy Quran and Hadith. The
second part of the book deals with the validity of the miracles of
saints in light of the Holy Quran and Hadith.
There
is for them the good news (of honor and recognition) in the life of the
world, and (also of forgiveness and intercession) in the Hereafter. (Or
there are blessed spiritual visions in this world in the form of pious
dreams, and in the Hereafter in the shape of effulgent disclosures of
Allah’s absolute beauty and sight.) The commands of Allah never change.
That is the colossal achievement. Surah Younus (10:64)
In
this verse, Almighty Allah has expressed the greatness and high status
of the saints in this world and in the hereafter; that both this world
and the hereafter have been made glad and mirthful for them. Almighty
has granted them greatness in this world and has honored them in the
hereafter. Imam Suyuti (May Allah shower His mercy on him) writes in
the exegesis of this verse:
Translation:
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him) relates in
the exegesis of this verse that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: The glad tidings of this world are pure dreams which a
slave sees or others see about him (or her). The glad tidings of the
hereafter mean paradise. (Al Durr Al Manthoor Fi Tafseeril Ma'athoor,
Surah Younus-64)
We
can understand the status of the saints with the fact that Almighty
Allah has declared His love for them. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) has obviated their wide recognition. The saints are
given glad tidings about their recognition personally as well. In
dreams, they are given glad tidings of high stations. The grace and
benevolence on these saints has been described by ‘Allama Nasiruddin
Baydhawi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) in these words:
Translation:
These are the glad tidings which are given to the pious through the
words of Almighty Allah and the blessed tongue of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Honors are rained upon them through pure
dreams, divine inspirations and spiritual unveilings. They are given
glad tidings through angels before their demise. The angels greet them
in the hereafter. They are given glad tidings of peace and solace and
of being granted success and honors. (Anwaar Ut Tanzeel Wa Asrar Ut
Ta'aweel Lil Baydhawi, Surah Younus-64)
