Tajrid

तजरीद
said taj-reed
Meaning

Abstraction, detachment; the stripping away of all but God in the mystical path.

Literally: isolation, stripping bare

Usage & notes

Tajrid is the inward detachment from all that is not God, a station on the Sufi road. Iqbal respects disciplined detachment but resists any tajrid that empties the self of will and severs it from active life.
