Wayfaring

Dhull or humiliation is originally a Quranic word and all the Quranic subjects were of interest and importance to the Mystics. It is well-known that commendable characteristics and virtuous character in mysticism are both from the most important matters related to the ascending journey to the Lord. Humiliation is one of the mystical ethics which affects the voyage and motion to God. Humiliation of the soul for the obedience of God Almighty commands and staying away from sins are better than prayer and fasting, by which the traveler on the spiritual path gets closer to his Lord and makes him attain the Real Honor which is only something connected with the Honor of Allah, His messenger and believers. It must be mentioned that there are Spiritual Veils on the traveler’s way to God which have also its humiliation and evey veil is a trial from God Almighty who has tested His servants with it. The analytical-descriptive method of this research describes the nature of humiliation, not in its familiar meaning and its traces in the holy traveler’s journey to God.
