WAHDAT al-WUJUD
Arabic word. Expresses a substance, essence, existence, presence, being, or entity According to Muslim writers existences are of three kinds: Wajibu 'l-wujud, "a necessary existence", eg Almighty God; mumkinu 'l-wujud, "a possible existence," eg "the human kind," mumtai'u 'l-wujud, "an impossible existence," eg a partner of the Divine Being.
However, in the religion of Islam, it tends to take on a deeper meaning. It has been said that everything gains its wujūd by being found or perceived by God.
Doctrine formulated by the school of Ibn al-Arabi , which postulates that God and His creation are one, since all that is created preexisted in God's knowledge and will return to it, making mystical union with God possible. Wahdat al- Wujud, 'unity of being' can mean that "there is only one Being, and all existence is nothing but the manifestation or outward radiance of that One Being".
WAHY / WAHI:
‘Wahy’ is the Arabic word for revelation. In Islamic context, it refers to the revelations and inspirations of God (Arabic: Allah) to his prophets, for all humankind. In Islam, the Qur'an is considered a Wahy given to Muhammad. It is a higher form of revelation than Ilhaam & Wahi. Wahy, unlike the lesser forms of revelation, is considered flawless.
The Arabic word wahi comes from the root word waha and is used to describe divine revelation. It has a variety of different meanings in the Arabic language, being interpreted as “a quick or divine indication”, “to give or convey a message” or “gentle speech”. In Islamic terminology, wahi can be precisely defined as God’s divine message conveyed to Allah’s chosen persons (Prophets). This message can be conveyed openly or in a hidden and concealed manner, imparting wisdom and knowledge that is beyond the material and physical realities of man.
