MIRACLES AND WONDERS

The Prophet’s (SAW) miracles are many, and his miracles continue to this day.  One who does not choose to believe in miracles does not have true faith, but [rather a] false faith.  Miracles are for the prophets, while karamats are for the friends of Allah to perform. Their [i.e., prophets’] miracles continue after their departure from this earth.   They help; they become the means to goodness.  Their tombs are also sacred places, [and] therefore people remember Allah in those tombs.  They pray to Allah, read Fatiha.  The Prophet (SAW) says, “I live in my grave.  I hear whoever recites salat [upon me] and selam.”  This means you go there, recite salat and selam, read the Quran, Fatihas.  The reading benefits the person who reads and reaches the person in the tomb.
