Hama-Az-Oost

हमा-अज़-ओस्त
said ha-maa-az-oost
also written: Hama Az Ust, hama az oost, hamah az ust, all is from Him
Meaning

"All is from Him" — the formula affirming that creation emanates from God while remaining distinct from Him.

Literally: "All is from Him"

Usage & notes

The formula "hama az oost," "all is from Him" — the affirmation that everything proceeds from God as its source while remaining distinct from Him, set against "hama oost" ("all is He"). This phrase expresses the position Iqbal favours: a world genuinely created by God and dependent on Him, yet real and other than Him, leaving room for the abiding individual self and for moral action in a world that is not simply an illusion of the One.
