Abstract
Karamat literally means generosity and generosity, and it means a gift and blessing that a great person gives to a subordinate, and for this reason, the extraordinary deeds performed by the saints of God are called Karamat, which has been a factor discussed in mystical texts since the third century AH, and in the fourth to sixth centuries AH, it gained a special place among poets and writers, and many texts in verse and prose emerged.
This research aims to explain and classify the types of Karamat by analyzing the content and studying Persian and Arabic prose texts in the first mystical tradition, while examining the concept of Karamat, and finally analyzing the extent to which the miracles of mystics depend on the geographical environment, historical period, culture, profession, and gender of the mystic. It also tries to determine whether the miracles of mystics were limited to their lifetime or whether miracles occurred before birth and after death. The results show that stories that include the miracles of mystics are highly frequent in mystical prose texts. Factors such as geographical location, historical period, gender, profession, religion, and the mysticʹs background are effective in the formation and type of miracles that the mystic had. Also, the period in which the mysticʹs miracle occurred also affects the miracle he had. In terms of the geographical location of the mystic, more miracles occurred in Baghdad, the land of Khorasan, Shiraz, Egypt, Mecca, Bastam, Testar, and Bukhara. In terms of time period, the third century AH is the golden point of Islamic mysticism in the first tradition, and for this reason, the miracles that occurred in this century are more than in other time periods. Although the profession of mystics has had an impact on their miracles, accurate information about the profession of all mystics has not been obtained, but based on the findings, it can be concluded that engaging in humanities and Islamic sciences has been very common among mystics. Regarding the religion of mystics, although accurate information about all their sects is not available, it can be said that the number of miracles of mystics who believed in the Shafiʹi and Hanafi schools is greater than that of other sects. The gender of mystics also has an impact on their miracles, and according to the results, it can be said that since the disciple-follower relationship was more common among men, there are fewer reports of miracles among female mystics. The background of mystics has also had an impact on the frequency of their miracles, but the author did not have accurate information about the mystical background of all mystics. However, using the data, it can be said that among the known mystical groups, mystics who followed the Baghdad school and then the Khorasan school have a higher number of miracles. The pre-natal miracles in this study include detecting a suspicious morsel in the motherʹs womb and being aware of the message from Elasth that the miracle of detecting a suspicious morsel also occurred during the mysticʹs lifetime. The miracles that occur after the mysticʹs death are different in nature from the miracles that occur during his lifetime, in terms of time of occurrence, and as a result, they have major differences from each other.
