Anwar-e Ma`rifat

The question of Karamat (honours), which has different aspects, is among the important issues discussed in Islamic mysticism. One of the aspects of the question of '' honour'' is the position it occupies in mysticism, I that is, what importance it has in Islamic mysticism and how mystics view it. The present paper seeks to answer the mentioned questions and avoid the menaces which threaten man therein, like; man's being entranced by extraordinary phenomena. This paper investigates the position of the honours by describing and analyzing the words of investigating gnostics. From among the findings of the present research that is a real honour is to knowle God and imitate the character traits of God. Real God's friends see that it is immoral not pay attention to extraordinary phenomena and honours, ignore them and do whatever one likes in God's presence. Extraordinary phenomena can be a kind of device and a way of drawing little by little those who get involved in it and are remiss in God's knowledge.
