(2) Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who taught by the pen, (4) Taught human that which he knew not.” (Bukhari 4953).

Karamat Block - Govt
In Sunni Islam, ''karamat'' ( ar, کرامات ''karāmāt'', pl. of ''karāmah'', lit. generosity, high-mindedness) refers to supernatural wonders performed by Muslim saints. In the technical vocabulary of Islamic religious sciences, the singular form ''karama'' has a sense similar to ''charism'', a favor or spiritual gift freely bestowed by God.Gardet, L., “Karāma”, in: ''Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition'', Edited by: P. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel, W.P. Heinrichs. The marvels ascribed to Muslim saints have included supernatural physical actions, predictions of the future, and "interpretation of the secrets of hearts". The concept is closely related to that of ''Barakah'' (divine blessing) which endows the individual with such abilities. The word itself seems to be a loan word from Persian or Caucasian. Keremet is a demi god of miracles in the Mari theology in Caucasian region. Historically, a "belief in the miracles of saints (''karāmā ...
