Mystical letters are among the miracles of Quran. These mystical letters are present at the start of Quranic Surah’s (Chapters). These are among the mutashabihat (Analogies) of Quran. Muslim scholars tried to define their meanings. Like other aspects of Quran and Hadith orientalists talk about mystical letters of the Quran. This article analyses the theories of Hartwig Hirschfeld and Edward Goossens regarding mysterious letters of Quran. What are their views about mystical letters of the Quran? Are their views according to the Islamic point of view of mystical letters? What are the deviations and differences as compared to traditional Islamic point of view of mystical letters? This research has been analytical by nature, both qualitative and analytical methods have been implemented. Analyses of their views in the light of traditional Islamic concept of mystical letters, shows that Orientalists including Hartwig Hirschfeld and Edward Goossens thought that mystical letters are not the part of revelation. According to them these are the names of the sources from which different chapters of the Quran had been taken during its compilation. They are the old names and introductory words about sorah like Bismillah.But evidence shows that Quran being the book of Lord is unchanged and mystical letters are a part of it. Even some orientalists argue that the opinion of Hartwig Hirschfeld and Edward Goossens is not correct
