Abstract: (535 Views) |
| One of the ancient knowledges among Muslim scholars is the “Tarajom”, that is miracle-centered ethnography. Mullah Fath Ali Sultanabadi is one of Iranian commentators of the Holy Quran and ascetic scholars. The writers of Tarajom's knowledge have considered him to have shown some miracles. His prediction of the fate of Sheikh Fazlullah Nouri and Ayatollah Sheikh Abdul Karim Haeri were among the miracles attributed to him. This paper seeks to evaluate the report of his miracles. So far, no study has been done for evaluation of the said miracles. This study, using descriptive-analytical method and application of the criteria relevant to critique of historical reports, has concluded that the report is in conflict with historical reality. Lack of knowledge of the Nouri and Haeri families regarding this event and the fact that it has not been reflected by past men of Tarajon are the reasons of invalidity of such prediction reports. |
