About

A treatise by Ibn Taymiyya setting forth the criteria for distinguishing the true saints of Allah (faithful to revelation and the Sunnah) from pseudo-saints deceived by Satan. He compares divinely granted miracles (karamat) with diabolical illusions, emphasizing that true sainthood is recognized by obedience and righteousness.
