Difference between Black Magic and Karamat-Auliya

Kashf is like intuition. Your heart is inclined to certain realities, the details are fuzzy but the general gist can be ascertained. Sometimes the future is shown to you like a fast moving video with blurry details. Kashf is hardly ever exact and lacks details mostly, but can have details.

Kashf is different to guess work because guesswork is deduction based and uncertain. For example, if someone posts some words of Pushto in a post, I can deduce that perhaps this person is Pushtun. Kashf has more certainty attached to it and has no deduction or guesswork behind it or no foundations of guesswork. Kashf occurs without having any background information or expertise on a topic while deduction is based on experience and expertise. This can be developed and a person can get better at it with time while Kashf is beyond ones capability and you cannot get better or worse at Kashf. Guess work and deduction also lacks details but they can be filled in (by guessing) while with Kashf a person has no idea on how to fill the gaps because the information is often disparate and unrelated. Kashf can happen while asleep or in the state of being awake.

Guesswork (or Cold reading) is an art which can be developed. Non-Muslims and people away from the Deen use it to deceive people into thinking that they are having "Kashf". You can take courses in it and practise “Cold reading” and become very good at it to astound people but it is not Kashf. This has nothing to do with Jinn or Black magic etc.

WasWasa from Shaytaan and occurs to a person when he (or she) is away from Allah Ta’ala, absorbed in sins and it is darker in tone, topic, subject and mannerism. It is also not a pleasant experience.

There is no such thing. There are only 3 things:

1. Kashf: Nothing to do with 2 or 3. This is extra ordinary occurrence and nothing to do with language, experience, knowledge or history and it happens to everyone. The simplest example my teachers taught me was imagine you thought of someone you have not seen in 15 years or you had a dream about someone you went to school with 15 years ago THEN somehow you run into this person unexpectedly or you got an email or text from them. It is Allah Ta’ala who put the thought of this person in your heart and then you met this person. There is NO POSSIBLE explanation for this whatsoever!
   
2. Cold Reading: Administrators on Muftisays have it and experience and intelligence enhances it. A new User has a certain Username and a certain picture and you all draw upon your experience and you “suspect” that this User is this way or that way inclined. A physician who has practised for 30 years knows by the way a patient walks into the office about the issue. A Mufti with 50 years’ experience can form ideas about a problem by the way the person behaves or formulates a question. A mechanic deduces a problem by a certain sound or certain symptom in the way the engine is idling etc.  A detective makes a deduction based on experience. The reason it differs amongst people is that people differ in intelligence so some people learn and analyse quickly and intuitively while others cannot. Problem solving is about intuition and drawing upon experiences. Thousands of us watch the news but there are very few like Dr Israr Ahmed (RA) who was able to perform analysis. A Non-Muslim can only do this and very effectively. You can learn this and also get better at it but some people are naturally better.
   
3. Jinn: Evil and due to abdunance of sins and you can tell by the lifestyle of a person.
   

Many Muslims look at the world in black and white (i.e. Kashf or Jinn) but 2 is the most common reality and occurance. 2 is how Cons are planned and executed. The more Cons you pull, the better you get at it.

You can use 2 for good or evil but there is no Jinn or Shaytaan guiding you, its your (human) intelligence and experience.

That is correct. When it comes to "Lataif" it differs between people and certain people naturally have certain "Lataif" who are more receptive then others. This is the reason why some beginners may have better and more frequent Kashf then someone more advanced because their (specific) Lateefa is more receptive then others.

Also when a “Lateefa” is activated there is some human pleasure involved and those who wish to (be distracted) concentrate on that “Lateefa” rather than advancing in the closeness to Allah Ta’ala. Many deliberately are left behind in Tasawuff because they chase a certain feeling and a certain condition. 

Each “Lateefa” has certain activation sequence, method and symptoms of activation.

It is the reason why Kashf is not an indication of piety. Then there are those who are overwhelmed and are no longer in control and they are in deep “Jazb” and become “Majzoob”. They cannot control or advance because it is beyond them.
