In Sufism, a wassil (Arabic: وَاصِل; 'one who reaches') is a murid or salik who accomplished and finished crossing the path of sulūk.^[1]

Presentation[]

The wasil is the sufi who has reached the spiritual stage where the divine Hijab is unveiled on his qalb.^[2]

When the Hijab is unveiled on the qalb of the salik and the tajalli manifests itself before him, one speaks that the sufi has reached the maqaam of woussoul (Arabic: الوُصُول).^[3]

Indeed, the good niyyah of the murid to follow the mystical path of suluk introduces him into the phase of salik which hangs him on a spiritual cord which connects his qalb to divine mercy.^[4]

Kinds[]

The wassil is presented in sufism according to several qualities which are:^[5]

• Siddiq^[6]
