Dear Islamic sisters! From this narration, we found out that the chosen people of Allah Almighty fulfil the needs of distressed, destitute and needy people by helping them out. In case they would not have anything to give to a needy person, even then they would not let them go empty handed and fulfil their need by turning clay into gold by using their powers. We also came to know that the chosen people of Allah Almighty have a unique impact on what they utter.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Without the permission of Allah Almighty, no one can even give a tiny particle to anybody. Chosen people of Allah Almighty fulfil the needs of needy people, help the afflicted ones, and cure the ill through the powers given to them by Allah Almighty. Not only this, blessed Awliya رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی even resurrect the dead with the power granted to them by Allah Almighty.

Elephant resurrected

Once, Sayyidi Ahmad Jaam Zindah Peel رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was going somewhere and saw a crowd of people on the way. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went to them and asked, ‘What happened?’ People humbly said, ‘Elephant has died.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘Its trunk is fine, eyes are fine, hands are fine and so are the feet.’ In short, he mentioned all the limbs to be fine and then said, how has it died? As soon as he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said this, the elephant resurrected straightaway. Since that day, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه became famous with the title of “Zindah Peel” (i.e. the one who resurrects elephant). (Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat, pp. 449; summarised)

Can any person resurrect a dead?

Dear Islamic sisters! No doubt, life and death are under the authority of Allah Almighty. However, it is not difficult at all for Him to bless any of His chosen people with the power of resurrecting a dead. Moreover, acknowledging somebody as possessing the power of resurrecting a dead with the bestowal of Allah Almighty does not have any negative impact on our Iman [faith].
