Everything about Haal totally explained
Haal (Literally "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 transient and one shouldn't 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.
