Why do no clear, visible miracles (karāmāt) appear within our Ummah, which exceeds a billion Muslims, similar to what occurred with the Prophets, some Companions, and the Successors, knowing that the number of early Muslims was far fewer? And are there any manifest miracles in our current era that can be spoken of to increase faith?
The most important thing people need is to strive to strengthen their belief and trust in Allah's promise. He has promised the believers a good life, honor, victory, success, security, empowerment, His love for them, and the opening of doors of blessings, as He Almighty said: "Certainly will the believers prosper," "And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers," "And incumbent upon Us was support of the believers," "Those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided," "He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth," "The Most Merciful will appoint for them affection," "We would have opened upon them blessings," "We will surely cause him to live a good life." The Muslim community must cooperate to attain faith so that they may receive these promises, for Allah's generosity and the truth of His promise are never broken. The most important things that stir faith are studying revelation, cooperating in righteousness and piety, and enjoining truth and patience. Miracles are not the goal, for the greatest honor is steadfastness in obedience. Among the current miracles are the steadfastness of youth despite temptations, the answering of prayers, and the defeat of communism.
