These karāmas do not belong to any of the categories we covered earlier, so we have compiled them in this chapter. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

These karāmas include dreams about various matters. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

These karāmas show the Shaikhs’ choice of the locations of two takyas and how they revealed them to the caliph in dreams. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

We see in these karāmas unjust people being paranormally threatened and punished for their wrongdoing. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

These karāmas show how Allah replaces the hostility to Islam and the Ṭarīqa with love and keenness to embrace Islam and follow the tradition of the Prophet Muḥammad (ṣallā Allah ʿalaihi wa sallam). Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

One of the well-known forms of the blessing of the Ṭarīqa is that the spiritual link with its Shaikhs, through the pledge, keeps bad spiritual creatures, i.e. devils and evil jinns, away from the dervish. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

Each of these karāmas features an encounter between the caliph and a mystical character. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

The karāmas in this chapter show the unique status of the Shaikhs of Ṭarīqa Kasnazāniyya, represented by the present Master Shaikh Muḥammad al-Kasnazan, as the true advocates of the way of the Prophet (ṣallā Allah ʿalaihi wa sallam). Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

This chapter consists of karāmas in which the Shaikhs of the Ṭarīqa paranormally revealed to the caliph information he could not otherwise have known. The occurrence of the revelation and its timing are not under the control of the caliph, but are the prerogative of the Shaikhs of the Ṭarīqa. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

In each of these karāmas, a person saw a dream or more than one dream in which he was instructed or learned that he was going to take the pledge of the Ṭarīqa. The dream later came true. Copyright © 2015 Kasnazan WayAll Rights Reserved

This chapter covers cases of paranormal healing, i.e. healing that could not have happened naturally or by mere human intervention. In some of these cases, the blessings of the Shaikhs of the Ṭarīqa cured illnesses that doctors had given up on, cured others instantly, or cured without surgery some that would normally require surgical intervention, and other aspects of paranormal healing.

These terms and concepts are already explained in the text, but I have compiled them here for easy reference. Arabic words are in italics. Al-Ghawth al-Aʿẓam (the Greatest Ghawth): A title that Allah vested on ḥaḍrat Shaikh ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Gaylānī, signifying the fact that he is the greatest of all Ghawths. Baiʿa (Pledge): The process of taking the pledge of the Ṭarīqa. The dervish-to-be puts his hand in the hand of one of the caliphs and recites after them certain statements in which the person declares their repentance to God and pledges to follow the Shaikhs of the Ṭarīqa. Caliph…

Islamic and historical books are full of karāmas that involve the Companions of the Prophet (ṣallā Allah ʿalaihi wa sallam) and Walīs. We have already seen, for instance, the karāma of caliph ʿUmar bin al-Khaṭṭāb when the leader of the Muslim army in Persia heard ʿUmar’s call from the mosque’s pulpit in Medina. Historical writings also inform us about the many karāmas of Imam ʿAlī bin Abī Ṭālib. One example is that one day before dawn, he said to his son Imam Ḥasan: O Son! I saw the Prophet (ṣallā Allah ʿalaihi wa sallam) tonight in my dream. I told…

Date: 2013 Location: On the way from Bangalore to Bangarapet – Kolar – Karnataka I went to preach with the driver and the late caliph ʿAbd al-Bashīr (may Allah show mercy on him) and his son Muḥammad Dhākir. On my way, I contacted the Shaikh’s servant who was then with the Shaikh. I told him that I had gone out to preach and needed help with a problem, which I explained to him. There was a married woman who had been a dervish for some time. She was suffering from a shake in her hands and feet and could not…

Date: 16/8/2014 Location: Belgaum – Karnataka Last year I went to Belgaum where I gave the pledge to a number of people. There was a family that consisted of a grandfather, mother, father, sons, and one daughter who had taken the pledge of Ṭarīqa Junaidiyya. One of the sons was a young man who was disabled from birth. His hands were folded behind his back, his legs were twisted, and he could only move his head, but he was intelligent and spoke fluently. I was surprised when I saw that he was the size of a doll despite being seventeen…

Date: 7/1/2013 Location: Saraipalya – Bangalore – Karnataka After returning from a short preaching visit, I found two women waiting for me and crying. One of them looked scared and said: “I ask you by ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Gaylānī! My son has quarrelled with a Hindu man and he is now in the police station. You know that we are Muslims and the police station is run by Hindus. I have no power or money other than knocking on the door of the Greatest Ghawth.” I said: “Go to the flag of the takya and say: ‘O Shaikh Muḥammad al-Kasnazan. I…

Date: 12/10/2012 Location: Yabinbilli – Tamil Nadu People from three villages gathered here and I gave the pledge to forty people, among whom were ten Hindus. I invited them to Islam and said: “Now only say ‘O beloved, Messenger of Allah!’” One Hindu woman who looked just over fifty years old suddenly started crying. When I asked her what made her cry, she said: “I saw a light rises from the top of your head and up into the sky, so I could not control myself.” I have taken photos of her while crying.

Date: 2011 Location: Bangalore – Karnataka When ḥaḍrat Shaikh Muḥammad al-Kasnazan sends someone to preach, he supports them with spiritual powers and blessings. When he sent me to India, he said to me: Go, and I and thirty-three Shaikhs, from the Prophet (ṣallā Allah ʿalaihi wa sallam), are behind you. In every preaching trip I feel as strong as a walking mountain. At times I used to be scared of myself, because the blessings used to make me feel like a lion. I never felt afraid of anyone or anything. In each visit to India, I stay about six months.…

Date: 28/3/2015 Location: Salempur – Delhi Ten days ago, I saw in a dream that I had received a text message on my mobile phone. The message arrived from a private number and consisted only of one word: “Come!” Four days later, I saw in a dream a second text message with the following text: “ʿImād, come!” Baffled and unsure what to do, I only informed caliph Zakariyya. Who is sending these messages? Where am I supposed to go? The message was repeated in a voice call yesterday. The voice was like the Shaikh’s, but it was not his. The…

Date: 25/3/2015, Morning Location: Delhi This happened when I was on a preaching journey. Today I saw in a dream the Shaikh surrounded by mountains of rubbish. He was sitting, accompanied by a few people. My heart was full of sorrow for him, but he did not care about the rubbish that surrounded him. He gestured to me so I came quickly. He said: Never mind: “He knows the secret and what is even more hidden” (20.7). I know you are sad because of the small number of people who are taking the pledge. I also know how difficult Delhi…
