In mystical texts, we come across the word "alchemy" many times. Muslim mystics consider their work to be a kind of alchemy and sometimes superior to it, and they call their highest dignity to be changing the metal of man and turning the copper of his existence into the pure gold of knowledge. The application of the concept of alchemy in practical mysticism is a subject that has not yet been properly recognized and drawn. The present article is based on the idea that "alchemy" in mystical texts is not just a literary metaphor, but seeks to express a specific practical and mystical tradition. This concept is related to the doctrine of optional death in practical mysticism, which was a central doctrine in the Kabruyeh Tariqa. Material alchemy has stages that are similar to these stages in esoteric alchemy. All these steps that take place around the axis of "transformation" lead man to mystical death and rebirth. The expression of these steps and related teachings will open a new window to the concept of alchemy on the one hand and practical mysticism on the other hand.
