HAMA DUST — EVERYTHING IS FOR THE BELOVED GOD

 
Sufism in this aspect declares that although every soul was and is within God, it has temporarily and apparently to assume separateness to develop love for God, and through this love regain union with God and experience both fana (annihilation of finite self) and baqa (abiding in God).

Although this aspect of Hama Dust does not differ from Hama Az Ust in its approach through love and intense longing, there is this difference: that whereas the soul in the state of Hama Az Ust longs for nothing but union with God, the soul in the state of Hama Dust is content with the will of the Beloved.
