Hama-Oost

हमा-ओस्त
said ha-maa-oost
also written: Hama Ust
Meaning

"All is He" — the pantheistic formula of unqualified monism.

Literally: all is He

Usage & notes

Hama-oost, 'all is He,' is the pantheist slogan Iqbal expressly rejected as dissolving the world and the self into God. He preferred the corrective hama az oost, 'all is from Him,' which keeps God and creation, Creator and self, distinct.
