Abstract
Attributing the miracles and bad habits to Sufi olders was scattered in Sufi texts from the beginning of Sufism and it has taken part of the biographies and authorities of olders of Sufiya. Asrar al-Tawheed and the translation of Qashiriyyah's treatise are among the prominent mystical texts and Sufi biographies, in which many anecdotes are dedicated to mentioning the miracles of saints. From Louis Althusser's point of view, the French critic and philosopher, the discourse governing such works is an authoritarian and ideological discourse between the disciple and the mentor and ideology in the guise of miracles has unconsciously and imperceptibly caused the olders to dominate their disciples and subjects. . Therefore, in the present study, we have analyzed the critical reading of the concept of miracles in Asrar al-Tawheed and the translation of Al-Qashiriyya's treatise based on Althusser's theory of ideology with a descriptive-analytical method. The findings of the research show that the subject of miracles in the inner layers of these works is used as an ideological mechanism for legitimizing and reproducing the authority of the discourse of Sufism and Ghana and stabilizing other ideological elements in it.
