Question
In Mashaaikh-e-Chisht, Shaikh Zakariyya explains the kinds of Tawajjuh and mentions some examples of reformation of people by means of Tawajjuh of the Shaikh. Salafis refute this. They say that Rasulullah's Tawajjuh did not convert Abu Talib and others. How can others then reform people with Tawajjuh?
Answer
Salafis are morons. They deny the validity of karaamat. The Karaamaat of the Auliya are the Haqq. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had performed thousands of Mu'jizaat. The fact Abu Talib did not embrace Islam is because Allah Ta'ala had decreed kufr for him. No Tawajjuh, no Mu'jizah and no Karaamat can change Allah's Taqdeer.
Those who were guided by the Tawajjuh of the Auliya, were such persons for whom Allah Ta'ala had ordained Imaan and khair. Whilst they changed certain people with Tawajjuh, their Tawajjuh could not change thousands of others for whom Hidaayat was not ordained.
To deny the karaamaat of the Auliya on the basis that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not perform that same miracle, is moronic. Auliya had even flown in the air and transformed stones into gold. This cannot be denied on the basis that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not effect such specific miraculous acts.
Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) issued instructions to the Muslim army whilst he was delivering the Jumuah Khutbah, and whilst the army was hundreds of miles from Madinah. Such a feat was not performed by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). There are many Karaamaat of the Sahaabah which cannot be moronically refuted simply because Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not display such specific miraculous deeds.
