Abstract:
There were persons in Christianity who voluntarily refused to use their mind and took themselves for madmen. They have been called "Yurodivies, God's fools". A similar phenomenon in Islam also exists. In the Islamic iradition such persons are known as oqala-ye majanin ("wise madmen"), majzuban, etc. Many of them, in spite of refusal to use intellect, had а special shajp mentality. They also had the ability to make miracles, which, according Lo the Islamic tradilion, is the highest manifestation of the divine love. The people under the influencc of the "wise madmen" often repentanced and became their foIlowers.The existence of such a phenomenon both in the Christianity and Islam once more corroborates many common features of these two religions.
