This article attempts to answer this question from three perspectives: “Is it possible to consider the behavior of Najaf moralists (Akhlaqioun) to be an Islamic mystical and spiritual school? It firstly according to the classic definition of Mysticism, judges if the behavior of Najaf moralists (Akhlaqioun) is mystical or not? Then by mentioning some difficulties of the classic definition for such a judgment and offering a definition for theosophy based on the concept of tradition and by analyzing this definition into two concepts “culture” and “literature” and also analyzing “culture” into the Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior, answers to this question. At the end, according to the public regard for mystic and Mysticism it proves that the behavior of Najaf moralists (Akhlaqioun) is mystical.
