Q 221: Hukumu inayohusu Karama za Awliyaa'?
Q 221: What is the ruling pertaining to Wondrous Acts of Auliya '?
A--- Miujiza inayohusishwa na Awliya' ni ya kweli na yenye kuthibitika. Miujiza (karama) ni jambo la ajabu lisilo la kawaida linalofanyika kwa mikono ya Awliya' bila ya wao kulitaka. Haiambatanishwi na changamoto, na Allah Mtukufu anaweza kulifanya kwa mikono yao bila ya wao kujua. Mfano ni kisa cha Watu wa Pangoni, kisa cha Watu wa Jabali, na kisa cha Juraij.
A--- The wondrous acts attributed to Auliya’ are real and true. A wondrous act is an unusual thing that is done unwillingly at the hands of Auliya’. It is not. accompanied with challenge, and Allah the Almighty may do it on their hands without their own knowledge. Such as the story of the People of the Cave, the People of the Rock, and the story of Juraij.
Miongoni mwa mambo ya ajabu yaliyotokea kupitia mikono ya Maswahaba wa Mtume ﷺ ni: yale yaliyomtokea Abu Bakr wakati wa Vita vya Riddah, kufikia kwa wito wa `Umar kwa Sariyah alipokuwa amesimama juu ya mimbari (huko Madinah) na Sariyah alikuwa Sham (Syria), barua ya `Umar kwenda Mto Nile wa Misri iliyosababisha kutiririka kwake, farasi wa Al-`Alaa' Ibn Al-Hadrami ambao yeye (na watu wake) walivuka bahari nao wakati wa ufunguzi wa Bahrain, na kusali kwa Abu Muslim Al-Khawalani katika moto uliowekwa kwa ajili yake na Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi.
Among the wondrous acts that took place at the hands of the companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) were: what happened to Abu Bakr during the Apostasy Wars, the reach of `Umar's call to Sariyah while he was standing on the pulpit (in Madinah) and Sariyah was in Sham (Syria), `Umar's letter to the Nile of Egypt causing it to flow, the horses of Al- `Alaa' Ibn Al-Hadrami on which he (and his men) crossed the sea during the conquest of Bahrain, and performing the prayer by Abu Muslim AlKhawalani in the fire set for him by Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi.
Miongoni mwa mengine mengi yaliyotokea wakati wa uhai wa Mtume Muhammad ﷺ na baada ya kufa kwake kwa maswahaba wake watukufu na wafuasi wao hadi Siku ya Kiyama, yote hayo yalikuwa miujiza kwa Mtume Muhammad ﷺ, kwani hawakupata heshima hii isipokuwa kwa kumfuata na kushikamana naye kwa uthabiti. Kwa hiyo, ikiwa muujiza wowote au jambo lisilo la kawaida litajitokeza mikononi mwa mtu asiyefuata Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ, basi hilo ni mtihani, uchawi, na si muujiza wala tendo la ajabu, na yeye bila shaka ni mmoja wa Awliyaa' wa Shetani. Allah atulinde dhidi yake.
Along with so many others that happened during the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and after his death for His honorable companions and their followers till the Day of Resurrection. In fact, all these were miracles for Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) for they did not attain this dignity but by following and sticking firmly to him. So, if any miracle or unusual thing appeared on the hand of one who is not adherent to Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him), it is thus a trial, sorcery and not a miracle or a wondrous act, and he is indeed one of the Auliya' of Satan. May Allah grant us refuge against him.
