Taaat

ताअत

said taa-AT

also written: Ta'at, Itaat

Meaning

Obedience and submission to God; faithful compliance with His command.

Usage & notes

Iqbal contrasts true taaat to God with servile obedience to false masters, holding that submission to the One liberates the self from all lesser tyrannies. Obedience rightly placed is freedom.
