        Kiramat of saints was one of the most discussed topics in Islamic thought kiramat in general means the possibility of occurrence of a marvel by a person other than the Prophet (Valli). Although Kiramat and mo’jiza (miracle) are both marvels, one is done by the Valli (saint) and the latter by the Prophet. The possibility of the occurrence of Kiramat by a person other than the Prophet has always been a controversy. Generally, all Islamic sects have confirmed this possibility except for the Mu'tazilites. They believe that Kiramat and miracles do not have a significant difference, so they can eliminate the function of miracles (which prove the prophecy of the prophets). This research is based on several important sources of Mu'tazilites, seeks to find out the reason for the Mu'tazilite’s point of view. It seems that denying the possibility of occurrence and occurrence of Kiramat, by Mu’tazilite has been rooted in their intellectual and epistemological bases. Manuscript profile
