Being and manifestation

Self-disclosure (tajallī)

التجلّي

Editorial review pending

Tajallī names divine self-disclosure, but the claim concerns not simply something becoming visible. A passage may discuss the appearance of created forms or a transformation in the recipient’s awareness. Those uses need to be separated.

Distinctions and context

Suad al-Hakim’s dictionary distinguishes self-disclosure “in” a thing from disclosure “to” a thing. This is an interpretive map, not a warrant to force every passage into a rigid two-part taxonomy.

Research question

Does the passage concern the manifestation of a form, the transformation of perception, or both? Record the verb, preposition, and context.
