Many persons,   who attained spiritual highness by assigning their life only for worshiping   Almighty Allah, have lived in this world. They are called Saints. Allah   will appoint them in every corner of the world, according to the demand   of time. Their obligation is to lead societies to spiritual renaissance.   They are the blessed slaves of Allah the Almighty. 
                                      Saints are   the luminous personalities who complied with Allah and protected by   him from instinctual fickleness. Therefore, they can show supernatural   power. This power is called Karamath. As far as a Saint is concerned,   showing Karamath is not a necessity. To express not the  Karamath   is not a defect for him. Karamath is supernatural phenomena as like   the Mu’ajizath. They have their own spiritual meaning and entity.  
                                      The basement   of superhuman power obtained by Saints is spirituality. The position   of Saints cannot be ascertained by materialistic measurements. The Saints   are most blessed after Prophets and his Companions. Submission in the   way of Allah is the method to perceive this exalted position.  
                                      Saints renounce   worldly pleasures. They fight with physical longings and attain sublime   positions near by Almighty Allah by continuous devotion. They are free   from fears as Qur’an explained. They are super natural powers control   the world by the help of Allah. The history of Saints vindicate that   Allah’s generosity incarnates to his blessed people.  
                                      Saints do   not necessitate to physical security. They can travel anywhere in the   world easily and can appear everywhere in different forms and conditions.   In all these times, they are strengthened by their deep relationships   with Allah. On the other hand, those who prefer materialistic style   of life are very unfortunate people in society. They have been surrendered   by instinctual weaknesses. When we compare materialists with Saints,   we do understand the sublime position that Saints attained.  
                                      The blessed   people of Allah lead very cautious life [The life routed in thaqwa].   Life under the rules of Islam is the way to the sublime position of   Saints [Wilayath]. There is an invulnerable relationship between the   cautiousness [Taqwa] and the sublime position [Wilayath]. Qur’an and   Hadith enlighten to this fact. Qur’an says: None can be its guardians   except Al Muttaqun (the pious), but most of them know not. [8:34 Surat   Anfal].  
                                      Prophet said:   The Saints of Allah perpetuate five times compulsory prayers, perform   fasting wishing rewards and understanding it an obligation, give alms   [Zakath] in accordance with its estimation and renounce every action   prohibited by Allah. 
                                      There are   a number of people, who spread the misunderstandings on Saints. In fact,   they do all these understanding not the fact and deny their sublime   personality sanctioned by Thaqwa.  
                                      Prophet said:   “If Allah would love his servant He would call Archangel Gabriel and   tell him “I love this person, therefore love him.” And Jibraeel   would love him and call out in the heavens “Allah loves this person,   therefore love him.” And the inhabitants of the heavens would love   him. Then he would be embraced by the people of this world…. (Muslim).   Saints are protected by Allah for they lead very sacred life. Those   who made strong spiritual bond with them are very fortunate people forever.

                                      “If Allah   would love his servant He would call Archangel Gabriel and tell him   “I love this person, therefore love him.” And Jibraeel would love   him and call out in the heavens “Allah loves this person, therefore   love him.” And the inhabitants of the heavens would love him. Then   he would be embraced by the people of this world…. (Muslim).  
                                      In this Hadith,   the exalted position, which can be achieved through worship, was referred.   Qur’an says: Verily we respected the children of Adam. In accordance   with this verse, human beings can attain the great positions that even   angels cannot do. Because, the nature of angels does not prompt them   to commit sins. Emotions of men encourage him to retreat from the way   of Allah. The Hell is covered by the desires of human beings and the   Paradise by undesirable matters. So to win Paradise, human beings necessitate   to a struggle with his passions. If he overcomes his passion, he might   win Paradise. However, throughout his life he may suffer with his emotions.   So the success which a man win by his continuous struggle with his emotions   will be very luminous as like the refined gold. Our belief is refined   and of angels is natural. The greatness of humankind is based upon it.  
                                      Allah desires   everyone who has deep routed belief in him. Similarly, his blessed people   will respect what he respected and exempt what he exempted. Angels,   Good Demons [Jinn], Human beings etc….love the blessed people of Allah.   They get recognition in the world. Everybody fears those who lead a   dedicated life in the way of Allah. 
                                      When Allah   prefers some one, He will fulfill his desires. Many super natural matters   will be manifested through them. The miracles appearing through them   are by Allah. Thus, Allah will bestow him with blessings beyond the   measure. 
                                      Prophet (PBH)   had been performing the prayers standing towards the direction of Kaaba   while he was in holy Makkah. Due to some precautionary matters, he performed   prayers later in holy Madina for only 16 months standing towards Baithul   Maqdis. However, when Prophet (PBH) wished to turn towards the holy   Kaaba, Allah fulfilled his desire. Qur’an consolidated Prophet (PBH):   “We turn thou to your desired direction”.  
                                      Allah revealed   many Quranic verses considering the desires and views of Companions   of Prophet (PBH).  
                                      in a famous   Hadith Qudsi, Allah says: "Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted   to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with   anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined   upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory   works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with   which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he   strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something]   of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge,   I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much   as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates   death and I hate hurting him." 
                                      This Hadith   means that the devotee will get Devine protection and assistance when   he surrenders for Allah. Mu’ajizaths and Karamaths are manifested   so. The Devine miracles, like making the dead alive, treating the diseased   and bedridden and bringing materials from distant areas, can be seen   in the verses of holy Qur’an.  
                                      The ability   given by Allah to his creations is beyond limits and estimations. This   should not be divided into material and non-material. If we achieve   the love of Allah that means we have close connection with him. Abu   Huraira (May Allah please with him) reported to have said: The Prophet   (PBH) said: Allah says: I am in accordance with the thoughts of My slave   about Me; and I am with him, when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me   in his heart, I also remember him. If he remembers Me in a group, I   remember him in a better group (i.e. angels). If he draws near Me by   the span of a palm, I draw near him by a cubit. If he draws near Me   by a cubit, I draw near him by the space covered by two hands. If he   walks towards Me, I hurry to him (Bukhari and Muslim).
