What is the Unity of Being (waḥdat al-wujūd)?

Answered in Ibn Arabi's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

The Unity of Being is the realization that the one true existence is God. All that we perceive as separate entities are but mirrors reflecting this single, all-encompassing Reality. They are not distinct from God, but rather modes or forms through which God makes Himself known. Understanding this requires looking beyond the apparent separation of things to the underlying divine essence that sustains all.
