(Karamat). Charismatic gifts or super-natural actions or miracles which Allah, the Generous (al Karim) bestows upon His friends. 'Whoever belongs totally to al Karim, all his acts are karamat'. These are distinguished from the miracles (mu'jizat) of Prophets. Karamat are kept hidden while, through the Divine Command, mu'jizat are displayed in order to invite people to the Truth. The word karamat denotes something both extraordinary and inexplicable. The greatest of all gifts (karamat) is Knowledge of Allah.
