This paper attempts to examine the linguistic structure of Konooz Al-Hekmat- which is the latest of Ahmad JAM’s works, to other eminent pre/ post Sufism such as Kashf Al- Mahjoob, Asrar Al-Tohid, Mersad Al-Ebad and Mesbah Al-Hedayat, in order to analyze and evaluate the prose style of Ahmad JAM and the language which he used in his works. Samples indicate that Sufi works mainly used plain language. This trend was in common use until 6th century in Islamic Calendar, because it was then thought that this was a perfect way to express ideas in simple but influential manner. However, common styles in those times were also adopted in some occasions. At a glance, we can find that Sufi style has not experienced radical changes with time collapse because it was very inclined to speak simple and of old prose style. In fact, lingual change and evolution took place in a slow pace. The influences on Sufi language and style chiefly originated from adoption of particular words, effects of local language and also the taste of writers. Some of these works, particularly Mersad Al-Ebad, had a color and trace of poetry that was due to the taste of its writer. He used literary devices and poetic emotions. The literary style and modality of conclusion in Konooz Al-Hekmat are the features which distinguish it from other counterparts.
