The uṣṣāq-i ilāhiyyūn (divine lovers) are people who, to the extent of their own capacity (nisba), have abstracted (tajarrud) themselves from material bonds and the potentiality of matter. Indeed, those who attain perfection (kamāl) by means of tajarrud are called ilāhiyyūn, or, in other words, those whose intellects resemble the celestial spheres, also known as uṣṣāq li'l-anwār al-ilāhiyya (lovers of the divine lights). (Heyākil, 97)
