A proposition or logical proposition is the smallest unit of knowledge defined as “justified true belief”. Some Qur'anic verses are a single proposition and some contain several propositions. Quranic propositions are sometimes religious laws. Sometimes they are moral and sometimes they are philosophical. In the same way, sometimes Quranic propositions are mystical. What are the criteria and indicators of the mystical nature of Quranic propositions? This question is the main question of this article. According to the findings of this study, being related to the unity of existence in the true and defensible sense, being related to the unity of divine acts, denoting multiple mystical worlds, denoting a descent arc and an ascent arc, denoting the stream of consciousness and knowledge in the whole existence, etc.,… are some of the criteria for being mystical propositions in the Qur'an. It should be noted that in this article theoretical mysticism is the basis of the discussion and practical mysticism requires its own independent writing.
