The Divine names and attributes have been analytically investigated in terms of words, concepts and ontology in ” The mystical system of Divine names from the perspective of infallibles (peace be upon them). In narrations divine names are used in the meanings of both The Real essence levels and creative and active entifications. Divine names as perfections and The Real essence levels are the same as God and the same as each others as well and creative and active entifications which are mentioned in narrations as divine names are the symbol of manifestation of The Real essence levels that are determinated on the basis of a particular arrangement as the real entities. The enumeration of the Divine names is mentioned in some narrations as the cause of entering heaven, in some other narrations are 99 in number and in others are more or less than 99. In this study the enumeration does not mean the numerical counting and recognizing the number and even understanding the conceptual meaning of the Divine names, but it is meant actualizing and assuming the traits of Divine names and there is no reason to restrict the words and concepts implying The Real essence in the traditions (Sunnah) and reason (Al Aql). Divine names and attributes in terms of words and meanings have shared among creatures, although humans can comprehend their meanings in summary fashion. But in terms of ontology Divine names mean creative and active entifications which actually are manifestations of The Real essence names and have descended from perfections and The Real essence levels based on a particular order and arrangement; in its first level is the light existence of Mohammad prophet` status from which the other levels such as the spirits, the angels, and the entities of the imaginary and material worlds are descended.
