Captain1:
Any Muslim would know that dreams are 1/46th part of Prophethood:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha al-Ansari from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The good dream of a man who is salih is a forty-sixth part of prophecy." Yahya related the like of that to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Maliks Muwatta Book 52, Number 52.1.1
True dreams are a part of Prophethood, as it was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “True dreams are one of the forty-six parts of Prophethood.” (al-Bukhaari, 6472; Muslim, 4201)
Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The first revelation that was granted to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) was the true dream in a state of sleep,’ so that he never dreamed a dream but the truth of it shone forth like the dawn of the morning...."
The truthfulness of the dream is related to the sincerity of the dreamer. Those who have the most truthful dreams are those who are the most truthful in speech. (Muslim, 4200) Towards the end of time, hardly any dreams will be untrue. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allahbe upon him) said: “That will be because the Prophethood and its effects will be so far away in time, so the believers will be given some compensation in the form of dreams which will bring them some good news or will help them to be patient and steadfast in their faith.” (al-Bukhaari, 6499; Muslim, 4200)
Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
it's very simple but only people who understand the concept of "Tareeqat" will know what I am going to say....
With the same token, and perhaps with the same logic, we can go ahead and ask why were "Miracles" given to Prophets as well? Its just like hindu thinkin that they need a physical God infront to believe there is a God existing to be worshipped. But we do not say that because we know that miracles are nothing but given by Allah himself... and that's because they are the people Allah chose to propagate His religion among the people.
Prophet (SAW) was very clear saying that Wali of this Ummah are like Anbiya of Bani Israel except that Anbiya (AS) received Wahi and Walies do not....

There are two versions of beleif in Karamaat that i have understood.
1- Awliya by their closeness to Allah are elevated to status of "Wahdatul wujood" and hence all the universe becomes subservient to them. Everything in universe follows if they order as their order is will of Allah. Hence they can raise the dead to life, can give sight to blind, can make the heavely bodies change their path etc. etc.
2- Allah at times shows signs that negate the laws of science to show his support for Awliya when they arein need. Such signs do not happen on Awliya's own wish rather they themselves are not aware if any such Karamat will happen or not and if it does they thank Allah. Otherwise they undergo the same stresses, hardships, hunger, thirst like the rest of humans.
I beleive in the second version.
Others beleive in the first.
Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
Iconoclast:
I am also inclined towards the second but Wahdat ul Wajood is a dodgy subject and if you dun understand it, you indulge yourself in the realm of Shirk.... perhaps, wahadat-ush-shahood would be a better term....
Prophets also did undergo the same stresses, hardships, hunger, thirst like the rest of humans.

Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
Iconoclast....awlia most of the times make duas...thats on Allah will to accept it or not...Allah's most beloved prophet(pbuh) but still some of his duas ..like...
for the forgiveness of his mother
for not the divison of his ummah
for praying for munafiqs
were not accepted by the Allah Almighty....
karamats ..not hapens ...by themselves..they make duas to allah and then allah grant them....
mainly purpose of karamat is to soften the hearst of deviated people towards allah...which with times becmes hard...
Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
Its not look nice ...to give a image of making fun ..of great aulias of this ummah...remeber ..they are the friends of Allah...as in Quran...and we must be beware of talking about them ..like that...
I think there is some misunderstanding. He was actually making fun of you, not great aulias. By you means people who believe in magic and stuff that cannot and obviously did not happen.
Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
^^ sorry sir..then by your opinion miracles of prophets were also magic...

No, in my opinions they were not magic. They simply did not occur. because they can't.
