Grief, from the beginning, has been among themes which have seen some stages and developments. The first causes of emerging grief are the Koranic verses and the prophetic Hadiths concerning the other-worldly punishment, with which Muslims are intimidated. Foremost, grief was the spiritual and inner reaction of the Prophet Muhammad's Companions Known as 'the weepers'. During the first century, such a thing was considered more and more as a result of political and social crises; subsequently, the concept of grief as a spiritual heritage transmitted from the early devouts to the Muslim mystics. When this concept was discussed by the Muslim mystics, they affirmed some degrees for it as well as described its inner causes including fear, contraction and awe. The present article deals with such factors and its developments
