ISTIDRAAJ

Istidraaj is a supernatural feat or act shown by a kaafir or an impious Muslim. Istidraaj is satanic deception, which is designed to confuse people.

The criterion by means of which ordinary people can distinguish between karaamat and istidraaj is the Shariat. If the supernatural feat is shown by a kaafir or a Muslim whose life is not in the strictest conformity with the Shari'ah and Sunnah then such demonstration is istidraaj.
