Abstract
Although some critics blamed the Sufism for having common stages of evolution with Islam and the Qoran verses, but, in fact, most of their thonghts and actions is accompanied by the oral elements and basis more than any other ways, which result in finding the strong documentations for ideological explanations and mental anylysis. Honestly speaking, no reactions in the mental or visual evolution of the Sufism all over the Islamic world from India, China to Africa and Europe can reach the inner belief except it is approved by a strong verse or tradition in Islam. The most prevailing of the Sufism miracles such as flying or walking on the water, display the invisible food, changing the thing to gold or silver, break the natural and original rules and laws of the world of limited goals of human being, must be found in all the religious books, too.

Abstract
The high similarities among the Sufism miracles and prophets' miracles show that the accepted principals of the miracles are based on the existence – acceptabilities of them in the Sufism. Because, if the prophets didn’t have any miracles, all these wonders wouldn’t appear in all the evolution stages of Sufism. Moreover, most of the Sufism models from the prophets' miracles have been approved by the Qoran verses compeletely. All these sampls composed of many works such as brushing the teeth or flying in the sky, too. Among the prophets, the actions and teachings of the Moses and Jesus Christ influenced many people even in the Islamic world. The most effective miracles of the two mentioned prophets are traveling in the water without ship and display the invisible food.

Abstract
Competition is not always a blameworthy action; even it can be the cause of the development of thoughts and civilization. In every competition, conflicts and disputes are blameworthy. Competition often happens in mundane activities that Sufi doesnot like it because of their worldview. But in fact, in many eras, not only not only the supporters and followers of sheiks, but also the great sheiks themselves had controversies in the areas of thought, remembering, and indulgence in mystic states manners. The main reasons of these conflicts were differences between views about some manners and thoughts, and also conflicts between people and their selfishness and megalomania. Because of these conflicts in first century of Sufism emergence, many competitive societies emerged. At last, in later eras, many famous and well-known Sufism groups emerged because of many disagreements between then.

Abstract
One of the dominant characteristics of mysticism and Islamic sufism is to seek a great enjoyment from Sufi’s ritual ( the behavior of the authorities ) from the juice and the core of the Quranic verses, and to make a comparison between all the common believes going around it with heavenly prophetic traditions. One of the other factors to deal with Islamic mysticism is too much consideration from those who seek the right way toward conscience and essence and try to create special value for interpretation and gloss. Instead , those who are in search of right virtue seemingly surrounded their our attempt to appearance of Quran verses , interpretation and justification of them . Seekers of the right traditions and customs not only have presented some unique interpretations from the Quran Hadiths ( traditions ) and Prophetic traditions and sacred based on their own beliefs and ideas, but documented their own doctrine knowledge in this regard. One of the doctrine knowledge which they delivered and searched for while dealing with discussion and presentation about Supreme Leader , is the hidden appearance of authorities from the strangers. Seekers and followers of traditions and customs have based the origin of such a belief on the heavenly saying “Interpretation of Hadith from Mysticisms points of view. This tradition has become the fundamental origin for various interpretations and commendations for those who are seeking for truth and virtue.

Abstract
Zorvanism was one of the common religions in ancient Iran. Considering Ahuramazda and Ahriman, some Iranian came to the conclusion that zorvan was their father in heavens. This idea came to Islamic Iran too, because in the Arabic proveb”time is a sharp sword”one can see the effect of time (zorvan). In sofist texts, time is regarded as a two- edged sword, with a sharp satanic edge and a soft divine one.It is a kind of interpretation in which two dimentions of zorvan can be seen.This study searches this point in sofist texts.

Abstract
Sufi is one of the most important keywords in Masnavi. Every Mowlana`s words come from his mystical pint of view.
He sometimes mixes mysticism with Sufism. Finding his pure thought requires having a deep insight. In Masnavi, he proposes "mystical psychology" but not according to systematic paradigms of classic books, so the researcher of his works should provide a framework within which these teachings can be examined. This paper, with the help of analysis – descriptive method, reveals the figure of Sufi and distinguishes real Sufi from false one.

Abstract
At the beginning, the Sufism was merely a moral and pious movement but this intellectual trend gradually changed into a great organization with many rites and devices. The great men of this school in their opinion tried to prevent the deviation of this trend trough writing books to explain its rites and educate the Sufi novices, as well. They have numerated some rites for much of their actions insofar as these many rites have influenced the definition of Sufism and they have said," Sufism means the observation of these rites". The present paper tries to investigate the rites of Sufis according to the standpoint of 'Aziz al – din Nasafi, the author of the book " Ensaue- Kamel ".

Abstract
The philosophy of creating many proverbs and miracles in Sufism exactly rooted in all of their teaching aims. There are a lot of proverbs which depicted practically for teaching all the religious faiths and beliefs to the Sufis followers. Until this school interna lizing the divine and internal beliefs for the new followers beside the external personifications of these beliefs and thoughts, therefore, there are the exact relations among the view points and thoughts of Sheikhes and their related proverbs. More emphasizing of Bayazid on mortality and Joneiyd on the religion has very high influence upon the said proverbs from their behaviors and speeches. The high sensitivity of Ibrahim Khavvas on the God reliance, and Abol-Hossein Nouri on sacrifices, and Sahl Tostari emphasis and mortification, results in more focuses of their proverbs directly upon these titles and subjects.
