A Comparative Study of Ahmad-e Jam's Mystical Views and Six Former Mystic Books

Illiteracy is one of the traits some writers have attributed to Ahmad Jam. These writers know his whole speeches spiritual intuition and divine inspirations. According to these writers if all traces and writings of Ahmad Jam are under the impact of” DIEX EX MACHINA” therefore, a question is posed: what is all this similarity between his traces with writings of the sheiks before him? We believe these arent accidental. Thus, these writers indirectly wanted to equalize him with the illiterate prophet and increase his prominence and status for the posterity in this way by means of this persistence in the role of inspiration in sheikh’s traces. In this article, we have tried to answer these questions starting with an introduction to revelation and heart inspiration. Then we have tried to compare sheikh Jam's prose traces with six of his preceding mystical traces and we have allocated a time for the survey and the analysis of interpretive similarities, clarifying the differences and resemblances of these traces. We prove that Ahmad Jam had totally been familiar with his preceding mystical heritage and these traces are a combination of divine inspiration and compliance with speeches and writings of preceding sheiks.
