Atiyya عطية

bestowal (default in Fusus II; preserves the technical Akbarian register of divine giving)

Atiyya (عطية) — Plural ‘ataya -> “bestowals.” The Akbarian doctrine of ‘ataya partitions into ‘ataya dhatiyya (essential bestowals, mediated by isti’dad alone) and ‘ataya asma’iyya (name-mediated bestowals, mediated by the specific divine Name engaged). “Gift” is acceptable but “bestowal” preserves the asymmetric directionality (from al-Haqq to the entity) that “gift” can soften.
