Divine Aḥadiyya (Oneness) (Sufi Terminology)

Divine aḥadiyya (aḥadiyya) ... does not accept composition. In fact, it is said regarding it: Its aḥadiyya has potentially encompassed all of them. The first pronoun (that is, "It") in the original Arabic refers to the name Allah, while the second (that is, "them") refers, in terms of ittiḥād (union), to the names contained within this aḥadiyya. The meaning is as follows: aḥadiyya is the state in which all the names are collectively present in potentiality; thus, from this perspective, the name Allah, which can also be named as the Essence (Dhāt) or the One (Aḥad), is used. The name Allah, in terms of all the names being collectively present in actuality, also presents a unity with all the names. And the said, is the one who is accepted by his Lord. That is, in the world, there is no servant who is not accepted by his Lord. This servant has only attained acceptance with his Lord. From this perspective, there is no wretched (shaqī) in the world. From another perspective, although some are said and some are wretched, in essence, all are said. With their Lord, all servants have been especially accepted. (Sofyavi, 129)
