Majzoob (Sufism)

Ra Gohar Shahi said:[15] Faiz without the required knowledge will turn the aspirant into a Majzoob (an enlightened person who lost the intellect in God's love).

Muḥammad Fasī al-Dīn said:[16] While it would not be strictly true to define the Majzoob as an eccentric recluse, he is so exercised in bringing his soul in touch with the Divine Essence as to be practically oblivious of what goes on around him.

Since the Majzoob is a wasil who has approached and reached the pinnacle of Sufism, the Sufis ascribe all sorts of Karamat and powers to them, from helping others miraculously to knowing matters of Al-Ghaib[17] The wali who is characterized by attraction and soaking, is distinguished, from other salikin saints who are characterized by behavior, in that he receives from God selection and care without much religious practice (ibadah) of remembrance (dhikr) and rituals (awrad), thus reaching the station (maqām) of the linker (wasil).

(Quran: 42:13)[29][30][31][32][33] When the chosen majzoob receives the divine flow (faydh [Wikidata]) of the ma'rifa, the irfan and the haqiqa, he finds himself in a situation of sublimation (Arabic: اصطلام) due to this spiritual ascent (Arabic: التَّرَقِّي) unexpected and sudden, and therefore a whole directive of conduct must taint his subsequent behavior (suluk (Sufism) [Wikidata]) in order to attain the approval and acceptance of his Lord.

[34][35] He must then look for a sheikh or murshid proven and confirmed in Sufism to accompany him in his return to the worldly life of Muslims through a prolapse (Arabic: التَّدَلِّي) from this position of ecstasy to a form of moderate ritual practice (ibadah) according to sharia and righteousness (istiqama [Wikidata]), and he will then be named salik.
