Signs of ar Rahman (The Signs of Allah)

honour to these Auliyaa. Their karaamaat occur either for a Deem need or
for a need of the Muslims, just as the mu’jizah of Rasulullah sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam used to occur for these purposes.
Karaamaat are only acquired through the barakah (blessings) of obeying
Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa saliam, hence in reality they are part of the
mu’jizaat of Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam.
Examples of the Mu’iizaat of Rasulullah sallaliahu alayhi wa sallam.
1. Splitting of the moon.
2. The pebbles reciting Tasbeeh in his blessed hands.
3. The crying of the tree trunk. This will be explained further, Insha-
Allaah
4. Informing the people of the details of Baitul Maqdis after the night of
Me’raaj.
Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: When the people denied (the
Me’raaj), Allaah Ta’ala revealed the Baitul Maqdis to me and I informed
the people of its details whilst looking at it.”
5. RasululIah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam’s informing of many past and
future events.
6. His bringing the Book of Allaah.
7. The miraculous increase in food and drink on numerous occasions,
e.g. During the Battle of Khandaq an entire army was satiated from a small
amount of food, which did not even decrease. In addition, at the Battle of
Khaibar, the entire armies thirst was quenched from a bag of water.
During the Tabuk expedition, the containers of the army of 30 000
contained little food, but it did not decrease.
