It is to distance (the seeker) from the judgments of vehm (delusive imagination) and sensation. In terms of aḥwāl (spiritual states), it means purifying the ḥāl (spiritual state) from inclining toward the judgment of knowledge, from submitting to form, and from paying heed to dangerous things. In terms of walāya (sainthood), it is to purify the moment from the interference of form; to cleanse purity from the sorrows (turbidities) of matter; and to protect tamakkun (firm establishment) from talwīn (being subject to change, possessing variability). In terms of ḥaqāʾiq (inner realities), it is to purify sukr (spiritual intoxication) from maḥw (obliteration), and to cleanse ittiṣāl (union) from being subject to determination. In terms of nihāya (the final stage), it is to be purified from the union and separation experienced without seeing and purification, and even to be purified from seeing union within union by living in the state of ghayba (absence). (Jāmiʿ, 281)
takbir The meaning of takbir is ʿaẓama (magnificence, greatness). Its primary benefit is to see the world (dunyā) and what is in it as insignificant. The second is, in terms of spiritual state, to see everything other than Allah as insignificant. The third is to magnify Allah through unveiling (kashf). (Rawḍa, 305)
