     The rise of mysticism from which many meanings, mystical experiences and teachings had entered the field of language led to the formation of a specific language called mystical language. It is divided into two kinds: expression and gesture. During his journey to truth, a mystic achieves ideas, facts and experiences that could not possibly be expressed other than in simple words and this is because of the nature of this kind of education. Mystics, however, by using all the capacities of language have transferred their mystical finding in the limited forms of words to each other. The great mystic of sixth century, Ahmed Ghazali, as one of the pioneers of Islamic mysticism, provided mystical ideas and experiences through his innovative interpretations of the cult in his great books. In this study an attempt is made for reviewing his opinions about language and way of speaking and for investigating his works linguistically. The results show he benefits from all the capacities there are in gesture and expression of language to explain ideas and experiences as well as their spiritual experiences that are hard to express through words.
