wahdat al-wujud
"Wahdat al-wujud," or "Unity of Existence," is a philosophical concept in Islamic mysticism, particularly associated with Sufism. It posits that all existence is interconnected and that everything is a manifestation of the divine. This idea suggests that the distinction between the creator and the created is an illusion, emphasizing the oneness of all being.
The concept is often linked to the teachings of Ibn Arabi, a prominent Sufi philosopher. He argued that understanding this unity leads to a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with the divine. Wahdat al-wujud encourages individuals to see beyond superficial differences and recognize the underlying unity of all existence.
