Sufi Terminology
by Murshid F.A. Ali ElSenossi

al-qutb
Pole

(Qutb). The Pole or The Pivot or The Axis. Within the Sufi hierarchy the qutb occupies its peak. He is the one person in every era who forms the focus of Allah's supervision of the world. The Holy Prophet Muhammad al Mustapha (May the Salutations of Allah be upon him and Peace) has always been, and will always be, the Beautiful Axis around whom revolve the celestial spheres.
