In Sufism, a wāṣil ( Arabic: وَاصِل; 'one who reaches') [1] [2] is a murid or salik who accomplished and finished crossing the path of sulūk. [3]
The wāṣil is the sufi who has reached the spiritual stage where the divine Hijab is unveiled on his qalb. [4]
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 maqam of the wuṣūl ( Arabic: الوُصُول). [5]
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. [6]
The wāṣil is presented in sufism according to several qualities which are: [7]
[...] the being who has succeeded in climbing back up the arc of divine manifestation and who has "reached God" (wāsil).
[...] an arriver (wāṣil)
