Wahda-ul-Wajood Meaning and Explanation

Wahdat ul Wajood (Arabic: وحدة الوجود persian: وحدت وجود others: Wahdat al-Wujud, Wahdatul wajood) meaning is the "Unity of Being". Wahdat-ul-Wajood is a Sufi belief (aqeedah) emphasizing that 'there is no true existence except the Ultimate Truth (God)'. This is the real and true belief not a philosophy or theory. Wahdat ul Wajood usually referred to as ‘wajoodi’ Sufism which teaches tolerance, moderation, peaceful coexistence and humanistic values. This is because its metaphysics implies that there is a unity and oneness in all that exists. The differences, disagreements and divisions among human beings, ideas and all that exists are illusory. They come into being only when we look at things and matters in a limited and biased perspective and fail to see their true reality.

According to this belief, all differences are illusory, and then it clearly means that mutual differences of human beings, creeds and cultures are also superficial; they are absurd in the ultimate sense. And so its proven that this is the real belief according to the Quran and Sunnah because the true Muslim character is only found in this belief. Followers of this philosophy sympathise with those who take these differences seriously and not detest them.
