LOL... thanks to sister Umm for linking to tareeqa.com, I couldn't help sharing with you guys some of the funny stuff I found there:

Regarding the MUJADDID of the 20th Century

Hazrat Allama Pir Muhammad Abdul Wahab Siddiqi (ra) - 1942-1994

There are many reports of the "karamats"(miracles) of Hazrat Sahib (RA) where he was the medium for qurification of impossible diseases. It would be difficult to mention all the hundreds of miraculous qurification that happened at the hands of Hazrat Sahib all over the world but just as a sample a few examples are mentioned below. One such instance was a lady from Blackburn, England, who was told by doctors that due to a hole in her heart, she would not bare children as this may upset her balance within the body and therefore can cause death. When she asked Hazrat Sahib (RA) he commented that. Doctors say what is their opinion from their knowledge, but what happens is by the will of Allah (swt) and therefore advised the woman not to be afraid and go ahead with conception of a baby. The same woman went on to conceive over four children.

One day Hazrat Sahib (ra) was summoned to Surinam , South America, in which a man by the name of Ilyas Charagh Ali had gone into coma for several days. The doctors had given him three days to live. When Hazrat Sahib (ra) arrived, 24hrs later he looked at Ilyas Charagh Ali and said after three days he will be reading Qaseedah of the Prophet (saw). In fact on the third day, Ilyas Charagh Ali woke up and the first thing he was looking for was his book containing Qaseedas of the Prophet (saw) and without reference to his strength or his physical condition he sang a qaseedah of the Prophet (saw) on his hospital bed and still to this day, lives as a living karamat of Hazrat Sahib (RA).

if you've got any more stories about some more hazrat's, peers or mujaddids, please share... this is just too funny :D

[Abuz Zubair]

These ppl are so fake... al-Hamdulillah for guidance.

[Abd al-Haqq Marshall]

I'm not defending this particular person. but let's keep in mind that Ahl us-Sunnah does not deny the karamat of the awliya. Allah (subhanu wa ta'ala) can make happen whatever he wants.

[Abuz Zubair]

Of course, but karamat are not something we seek, nor want to brag about.

[Madarijas-Salikeen]

as salaamu alaykum

Imaam Suyuti rahimullah claimed that he saw the nabi salalahu alayhi wa salam while awake three times in his life. Mufti muhammad taqi usmani also qouted that in his (Discourse on islamic way of life) and that when imam suyuti was asked what special worship he did to get this status he said he did not know of anything special except that he just sent darood upon the prophet salalahu alayhi wa salam.

He also gave a fatwa saying one could see the nabi salalahu alayhi wa salam while awake.

ajeeb but i guess it could be a karamah. I dont know if many ulama consider imam suyuti rahimullah to be upon the sunnah, because of his shadhili following though however it seems he is qouted a lot. so perhaps this can be trusted and I myself am just a layman so i cant say anything about him.

wasalaam

[Ibn Muhammad]

I've heard a similar claim from one of the mureeds of Muhammad al-Ya'qoobi, claiming that his Shaykh saw the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu alayhi wa sallam) in an awake state last Ramadhaan in his house in Dimishq. Anyway, you might find the following beneficial:

With regard to seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when one is awake, this is akin to Sufi myths, and there is no basis for that in sharee’ah or in real life. Tremendous events befell the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and they were in the greatest need of seeing him among them, so why did he not appear to them, and why did they not see him when he was the dearest of people to them and they were the dearest of people to him?

With regard to some of them quoting the hadeeth that is narrated in al-Saheehayn from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – that he said, “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me when he is awake” – as evidence that it is possible to see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when one is awake, there is nothing in this hadeeth to support what they say. Rather it is glad tidings to the one who sees him in a dream, that he will see him in Paradise. It does not mean that he will see him when he is awake in this world.

Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Some of the righteous erred and claimed that it is possible to see him with one’s own eyes.

Fath al-Baari, 12/384.

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, concerning the meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “he will see me when he is awake”, there are a number of opinions concerning this.

1 – That what is meant is the people of his own time, i.e., that whoever saw him in a dream and had not migrated, Allaah would enable him to migrate and to see him with his own eyes when he was awake.

2 – That he would see the confirmation of that dream whilst awake in the Hereafter, because all of his ummah will see him in the Hereafter.

3 – That he will see him in a specific sense in the Hereafter, by being close to him and attaining his intercession, and so on.

Sharh Muslim, 15/26

What al-Nawawi mentioned in the first opinion is not contradicted by the opinion of al-Haafiz ibn Hajar that it is not possible to see him, because al-Nawawi stated that what was meant was the people of his own time, and what al-Haafiz was objecting to was those who claim to have seen him in a real sense after he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died.

Abu’l-‘Abbaas al-Qurtubi said, refuting those who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) could be seen when one is awake:

This idea (that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) may be seen when one is awake) may easily be refuted by common sense, because it implies that no one can see him except in the form in which he died, and that two people may see him at the same time in two different places, and that he may come to life sometimes and emerge from his grave and walk about in the marketplaces and converse with the people. That implies that his body is not in his grave and there is nothing left in his grave, so the grave is visited and salaam is said to one who is not there, because he may be seen by night and by day in his real form outside his grave.

Quoted by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar in Fath al-Baari, 12/384

Moreover, if it were true that someone could see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he is awake, then he would be one of his companions and there would be Sahabaah until the Day of Resurrection.

Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar al-‘Asqallaani stated that Ibn Abi Jamrah narrated from some of the Sufis that they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in a dream, then they saw him after that when they were awake, and they asked him about some things which they were worried about, and he told them how to deal with them, and they followed his advice and achieved the desired results. Then al-Haafiz commented on that by saying: This is very odd. If we interpret it as it appears to be, then these people would be Sahaabah, and there could be Sahaabah until the Day of Resurrection. But this may be refuted by the fact that many people see him when they are asleep but no one says that that they saw him when they were awake, so there is an inconsistency.

Fath al-Baari, 12/385

The scholars of the Standing Committee said, refuting the beliefs of al-Tijaani:

There is no proven report from the Rightly-Guided Caliphs or from the rest of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), who are the best of mankind after the Prophets, that any of them claimed to have seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was awake. It is well known, and no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing, that the religion was completed during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and that Allaah perfected this ummah’s religion for it and completed His Favour upon it before the death of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”

[al-Maa’idah 5:3]

So there can be no doubt that what Ahmad al-Tijaani claims, that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was awake, and learned the Tijani tareeqah from him orally when he was awake, and that he told him what wird to recite to remember Allaah (dhikr) and send blessings upon His Messenger, is false and is evident misguidance.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 2/325, 326

They also said:

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died after having conveyed the Message in full and after Allaah had perfected His religion through him and established proof against His creation through him. His companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) offered the funeral prayer for him and buried him where he died, in the room of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). After him came the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, during whose time events occurred which they dealt with on the basis of their own reasoning (ijtihad), and they did not refer concerning any of them to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whoever claims after that to have seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was awake, living and speaking to him, or to have heard anything from him before the Day of Resurrection, his claim is false, because it goes against the texts, the narrated reports and the laws of Allaah that govern His creation. There is nothing in this hadeeth to suggest that he will be seen when one is awake in this world, because it could be interpreted as meaning, “he will see me in the Hereafter,” or it may mean, “he will see the interpretation of his dream”, because this dream is true according to what is stated in other reports, namely that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “… he has indeed seen me.” The believer may truly see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in his dream in the form in which he appeared when he was alive.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 1/486, 487.

To sum up:

It is not permissible for anyone – after the Prophets – to claim to have see the angels, for they have bodies of light which Allaah has not enabled humans to see, unless the angels appear in human form.

It is not permissible for anyone to claim to have seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was awake. Perhaps these illusions came from some of those who do not have any Islamic knowledge or maturity, so they imagine things that are not there.

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A

[Madarijas-Salikeen]

as salaamu alaykum

jazakallaah khayr ibn muhammad this was a much needed fatwa for me.

wasalaam

-mustafa

[Ibn Adam]

I learnt a new word "qurification." Now all I need to do is to find a dictionary that's heard of it.

[stani]

i dont understand
these ppl who claim to have seen the rasool (saw) in an awake state- does this not imply that they are sahaba?

[Abd al-Haqq Marshall]

Even most of the non-Salafi ulema have denied the ability to see the Prophet (saw) while awake. I don't see why the "traditionalists" feel the need to attach themselves to everything that contradicts Salafi opinion, even when it contradicts the actual traditional opinion.
