Mushahada مشاهدة
witnessing (default; the contemplative direct-perception of the Real)
Mushahada (مشاهدة) — “Witnessing” preserves the shahada root (the same root as the testimony of faith) and signals that this is participatory bearing-witness, not detached observation. Often paired with kashf (unveiling) in the contemplative itinerary.
