Lahoot

लाहूत
said laa-hoot
also written: Lahut
Meaning

The realm of pure divinity, the highest plane of the Sufi cosmology.

Usage & notes

Lahoot is the world of divinity in the classical fourfold Sufi cosmos. Iqbal invokes such planes poetically while keeping his focus earthward, on the self that must act in the world rather than escape it.
