A Comparative Study of the Characterizations of Ibrahim Adham in the Three Tazkerats (Tabaghat Sufia, Tazkirat al-Awliya, and Nafahaat ol-Ons)

Tabaghat Sufia of Ansari (fifth century) and Tazkirat al-Awliya Attar (sixth century), and the Nafahaat ol-Ons of Jami (ninth century) are among the biographies that for three consecutive periods with the sole purpose of teaching the basics of Sufism, and of course, according to the intellectual attributes, during his life, he has been exploring the dimensions of the elders' personality, including Abraham Adham. Abraham Adham is one of the great Sufis of the second century, which has attracted the attention of the biographers due to his significant role in the evolution of the principles of asceticism. In this study, with a look at the historical works and officials of the Sufis until the time of Jamie, we find that the focus is on the Sufi levels of Abraham, and Ansari, for some of his beliefs, The Sufis are preferred to Ibrahim, and they are merely Sufi, ascetic, and truster, but in Tazkirat al-Awliya, the later humanity of Abraham is superior to him, and he is considered to be the one who has become a man in the path of humanity, freethinking, popular warrior and ascetic. While Jami tries to merely portray Abrahim Adham as a moralist Sufi. In the paper, we also mention the possible reasons for these different visualizations. For example, Ansari is more concerned with Sufism and Sufi ways, Attar had more artistic looks and Jami preferred more reasoning approaches.
