The divine tact is among the most outstanding attributes for gaining insights from God, and it is also one of the substantial qualities in the mystical discourse. However, generalizing the concept of tact to human characteristics is perceived as a vice and despicable attribute. Since the acquaintance with this attribute leads to the elevation of the ethical, spiritual and celestial knowledge, it has been widely hailed by many mystics. In this descriptive-analytic research, the God’s tact has been probed in Quran, tradition as well as the diverse mystical perspectives. This study has also analyzed   different mystical aspects of this notion in Molavi’s poems. This investigation shows that despite the emphasis of the previous mystics on the fear and the sense of insecurity from God’s tact in all the stages of their spiritual journey,  Molana’s conceptualization of God’s tact  is to some extent different from theirs. He believes that the mystic by the help of God’s attraction and grace becomes one with God , then the attributes and qualities of his soul are disappeared. For this reason, his tact which is the soul’s  characteristic disappears in God’s tact and reaches the status of the protection, certainty and security. He also refers to the romantic tact in his poems. In this realm, which is represented as the ultimate unity with God, tact as the characteristic of the beloved is considered valuable and the fear of God is eradicated.
