Wisaal-e-haq

विसाल-ए-हक़
said wi-SAAL-e-HAQ
also written: Visal-e-haqq, wisal-e-haq, visal-e-haq, wisaal
Meaning

Union with the Real; the soul's reunion with God as the ultimate beloved.

Literally: union with the Real / with God

How Iqbal uses it

Union with the Real — the lover-soul's attainment of God, the consummation longed for throughout mystical poetry (wisal being the opposite of firaq, separation). Iqbal inherits this language of union but reads it through nearness rather than dissolution: the climax is the self's intimate meeting with God in which it is fulfilled, not erased.
