Wasil (Sufism)

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

In Sufism, a wāṣil (Arabic: وَاصِل; 'one who reaches')[1][2] is a murid or salik who accomplished and finished crossing the path of sulūk.[3]

Presentation[edit]

The wāṣil is the sufi who has reached the spiritual stage where the divine Hijab is unveiled on his qalb.[4]

Kinds[edit]
