Mystical Ravings and their Justification by the End of 7th Century AH

Abstract:
Out of mystic's words one may come up with some quotations that have caused dual positions against them from the very beginning. Within this type of quotations known as 'ravings', the mystic talks some statements which the critics have taken them as absurdities and anti norms, their happenings are against the canon, and at last they are condemned to be blasphemy and sentenced to execution. The underlying question here is that to what extent is the verdict against ravings fair and just? And that is there any way paraphrase such kind of speaking? The other side of this story is not sitting quiet, but they try to justify and paraphrase the 'raving's out of the mouth of ravers and have considered them as a sign of the scarcity of talking capacity and the breadth of the mystic's experience. Their justifications indicate that the mystical experience is fatal, dragging the ravings behind, something that strangers are not able to comprehend. From this perspective, the raver is not only exonerated from the heavy charge of blasphemy and profanity, but also he is the same authentic monotheist out of whose mouth God quotes 'I am just'.
