Esm-e-Azam is one of the most important topics discussed in Islamic Mysticism in such a way that it has been discussed in both Practical and Theoretical Mysticism. Even though mystics have given different definitions for Esm-e-Azam,it seems that a more complete understanding of the truth of Esm-e-Azam depends on other matters such as the criteria of greatness, divisions, ranks, items and its rules: The mystics did not say anything about the criteria of greatness, but two descriptions of population and surroundings can be taken from their words. Regarding the divisions of Esm-e-Azam, they pointed out such things as the defining and effective Esm-e-Azam, as well as the absolute, relative and ranked Esm-e-Azam, as well as the divine, descriptive and current Esm-e-Azam. Regarding the levels of Esm-e-Azam, they proposed four levels of truth, meaning, elemental sensory form, and verbal form, as well as four levels of occult truth, the level of divinity, the level of divine nature, and the verbal level. They also said Names such as Allah, Al-Hai, Al-Qayyum and Al-Qadir, as well as some letters as words, and topics such as the series of Esm-e-Azam, knowledge of Esm-e-Azam, the role of Esm-e-Azam in answering prayers, and the interrelationship of Esm-e-Azam and wayfaring.
