Every art is characterized by a set of terms that its scholars have agreed upon and distinguishes it from others, and the science of Sufism, like all other sciences, has its own vocabulary that distinguishes it, as dictionaries have been devoted to it and books written about it. Among the terms closely related to this science are the terms (Saint and karamah), as Sufis considered the second to be a sign of the first, so every Saint must contain a set of karamah; However, what we wanted to explain in this research is to point out some of the deviations into which the Sufis fell in their interpretation of these two terms, such as leniency in using the word Saint, as well as equating the karamah with a miracle, and the resulting effects on the Sufi heritage in general.

Sufism, Saint, karamah, the sheikh, the miracle.
