Al-Basir

Description:
The believer is aware of Allah as all-seeing. His creatures have also the power to see, man sees with the physical but also the inner eye to see the inner self. Knowing the inner self one knows that Allah sees one although we cannot see Him. Otherwise, not seeing Allah, one may behave as though He cannot see one.
Context:
A mode of mystical awareness in the Sufi tradition associated with the twenty-seventh of the ninety-nine names of Allah.<
