into the air; others they cause to enter fire. Some walk accompanied by a light, which makes them think that these are miracles. Some call upon the shaykh for help and address those who call upon the shaykh, so that this is thought to be a miracle granted to the shaykh. Others produce food, fruit and sweets, besides other things known to us. We also know people who have experienced these things and much more besides.

When a man repents, adheres to Islam, prays as Muslims pray, repents of what the Lord of all worlds has forbidden, and replaces listening to Satan with listening to the Quran, those satanic states disappear. If his faith grows strong, he attains the spiritual stations of the righteous; otherwise, it suffices him to be among the people of the Garden of Bliss. This is clear: a Muslim knows that these states are satanic, not miracles granted to people of faith.
