Sufi Terminology

hikmat al-wujud
Wisdom of Existence

(Hikmat al Wujud). Existence itself is full of wisdom because Allah, the Wise, put everything in its place and He governs the affair. Wisdom may be gained from anything and everything in existence because Allah does not create anything without a purpose.
