 Recognition of divine names and attributes has long been a concern of Muslim scholars and has continued to do so and its scope has increased in various sciences. This issue is very important for understanding theology. The Imam al-Mouhaddin and the mystic successor Ali have also addressed the subject of divine names and attributes. And extracted divine attributes on the basis of rhetoric and epistemology and semantics and ontology. Ontology, or even theology, in mysticism is nothing but knowing the names and attributes of God. Therefore, in this descriptive-analytical research based on library studies, it has been attempted to investigate and present the mystical ontological theories, And after extracting the nominal system and divine attributes in Nahj al-Balagha, in the above mentioned axes, a comparison between the mystical ontology with the Alavi nominal system is made and the ways of sharing or differentiating it are clarified. The results obtained in this study can be summarized as follows: 1- The negation of attributes of the essence of right in the domain of ontology 2- The negation of mere analogy and semantics in semantics
