About Wajd
Wajd may be defined as the state of ecstasy. Or a state of statelessness.
The state which unites the seeker, the Wajid in his quest for higher love or the love for the
Beloved.
Such that the seeker becomes oblivious of the self or Wujood and gets engulfed in the quest.
Wajd, in essence. may thus be envisioned as the crux of all Sufi or mystical state. A ceaseless
search for higher meaning. an even higher state of surrender, in the higher self of the supreme
beloved.
Wajd, the bi-annual magazine, is our endeavour to enrich human consciousness with knowledge about Sufism. its contribution to world heritage. and its deep relevance to modern
times.
