| Attributes of the lower self |
| (Sifat-i-bashariyya). The fleshly attributes of the lower self which must be transformed in order for man to travel on the Spiritual Path. |
| (See: Animality; Man; Self; Subtle Centres). |
| Attributes of the Self (Positive) |
| (Sifat nafsiyya thubutiyya ). The Positive Attributes of the Self. Knowledge of the 'positive attributes' is impossible, because the Essence is beyond definition and therefore |
| beyond positive Attributes. Such an attribute would define and limit the Essence, which is without limit and definition. "Nothing is like Unto Him". |
| Sama' - see 'Spiritual concert'. |
| (Al Muntaqim). A Divine Name. |
| (Haybah). The awe or reverential fear experienced by the slave when faced by the Incomparability of Allah, His Majesty and Transcendence, His Inaccessibility, |
| Magnificence and Power. Such a state of godfearingness ensures that the slave will keep himself within the bounds of perfect spiritual courtesy towards his Lord, clinging |
| to his own slavehood/servitude. |
| (See: Fear; God-consciousness; Majesty; Names of Majesty; Servitude; Slave; Spiritual Courtesy). |
