Christianity is fond of sainthood. That is normal, religion is for acquiring saintliness. reading a holy book must make one holy, a saint. Pope John Paul II was canonized on account of a miracle of a woman who woke up from a coma after hearing his name. It sounds un believable, but it is true. I say that it makes more sense if that woman was considered a saint, and not Pope John Paul II. In any case, that woman alos is not saint.
You find saints in Islam, because Islam is a true religion. Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) was sent as the last prophet, 14 centuries ago. 14 centuries ago, that's close to the end of times. There would be no prophet after Muhammad, so saints were raised after him, century after century, saints of Islam. Thanks to these saints, people have the means to re-unite with their Creator who created them and loves them. No other religion fulfils that purpose, but that is the sole purpose of a religion. There are 124 000 saints of Islam, and they shall come at each century, after Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and His Companions (may Allah be well pleased with them) until the end of times.
These saints, out of their closeness to God Almighty and His beloved (peace be upon him and his family), out of holiness would fly in the air, walk on water, talk with God, see God, do various miracles. They are intimates of God Almighty and intimates of the beloved of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). These are Wikipedia links pertaining to some saints of Islam, may God have mercy on them.
