DEGREES OF LOVE

TATAYYUM (Total enthrallment)*- Highest Degree
When the heart is enslaved to the Beloved (Allah)


'ASHAQ (Ardent love)


GHARAM (Passion)
When love never leaves the heart


SABABAH (Infatuation)
When the heart is poured out


'ALAQAH (Attachment) - Lowest Degree
When the heart is attached to the beloved

*A person is enthralled when he worships Allah, because enthralment is like enslavement to the beloved (Allah)
