Baqaa (Arabic: بقاء, romanized: baqāʾ, lit. 'perpetual existence') is a term in Sufi philosophy which describes a particular state of life with God in Islam; through God, in God, and for God. The related term دَار اَلْبَقَاء, literally "land of baqāʾ", is a term for Heaven. It is the summit of the mystical manazil, destination or abode. Baqaa comprises three degrees, each one referring to a particular aspect of theophanies as the principle of existence and its qualitative evolution, consisting of faith, knowledge, and grace. It is the stage where the seeker finally gets ready for the constant vision of God. Hence, it can be termed as Divine Eternity.[1]
