Haqiqa حقيقة
Reality (default in Akbarian metaphysics; al-Ḥaqīqa names the underlying ontological truth distinguished from phenomenal appearance, sister-term to al-Ḥaqq)
Haqiqa (حقيقة) — Sister-term to ḥaqq (already in glossary as “the Real”). Ḥaqq is the Real-as-subject (the divine referent), ḥaqīqa is reality-as-condition (the ontological status). The Akbarian doctrine of al-Ḥaqīqa al- Muḥammadiyya (the Muḥammadan Reality / Reality of Realities) names the first ontological self-disclosure of the Real, the locus through which all subsequent created realities are constituted; this is the cosmological backbone of the Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam’s Bezel of Muḥammad. Khamriyya verse 6 (“wa-lam yabqa minhā fī ‘l-ḥaqīqati illā ismu”) renders as “in reality nothing was left of it but a name”; the apparatus should surface that Nicholson 1921’s “in reality” is flattening an ontologically loaded term. Capitalize “Reality” when the technical-Akbarian referent is in view.
