HAAL

Haal (Lit, "state" or "condition.", plural ahwal) is a special-purpose, temporary state of consciousness, generally a product of spiritual practices, recognised in Sufism.A haal is by nature gratuitous and one should not attempt to prolong it. It results from psychological or spiritual influences which effect the man of the Way during his progress towards the God-King. Related concepts are Ecstasy (wajad), Annihilation (istilam) , Happiness (bast) , Despondency (qabd) , Awakening (sahû) Drunkenness (sukr) , etc. They arise like flashes on the horizon, blinding flashes of lightning which disappear immediately. However, these stages are necessary for the liberating experience of Man; thanks to them He may distinguish the contingent from the consciousness anything except that which is destined to endure. According to Ibn Arabi, ‘’Fanaa (al-fanâ)’’ (extinction) is the apex of the ahwal.
