Summary/Abstract: In the article the author presents the problem of miracles in Sufism, illustrating them with typical examples from all over the Islamic world – from Central Asia through India to Maghreb. Topic is made in the anthropological context of holiness of pīrs and cosmology of Sufism. Miracles and wonders are analyzed their value and usefulness of religion (from the perspective of theology), and the conclusion confirms the hypothesis that the dimension and the spiritual sense is faint, or no. The only function they perform, is to build the image of pīrs, as asaint, a man afflicted with the grace of Allah. Examples of miracles reveal the influence of the cultures and traditions of local and regional form and course miracles, for example. faqirismus confirm the influence of Islamic mysticism in India.
