Al-Qabid (Sufism)

The believer is aware of Allah as the one who constricts. Prevented from receiving the blessings of this world, the believer learns patience. These times may strengthen faith, bringing one closer to the creator and becoming His beloved. Knowledge that good and bad all come from Allah provides a balanced state.

A mode of mystical awareness in the Sufi tradition associated with the twentieth of the ninety-nine names of Allah.
