Karamat

Indonesia

Karamat is a term used in the context of Sufism and Islamic religious sciences to describe supernatural wonders performed by Muslim saints. It refers to spiritual gifts or favors freely bestowed by God upon individuals who practice austerities or contemplation.

In technical vocabulary, the singular form karamat carries a sense similar to charism. Notable marvels ascribed to these figures include teleportation, walking on water, predictions of the future, and the ability to interpret the secrets of hearts.
