Hu (Sufism)

Hu (Sufism)

Hu is a name for God in Sufism. Literally: He. God. [http://www.avatarmeherbaba.org/erics/glossh-j.html]

In Sufism "Hu" is the pronoun used with Allah or God, and is used as a name of God. "Allah Hu" means "God, Just He!" In Arabic Allah means God and with Hu, as an intensive added to Allah, means "God himself." Hu is also found in the Islamic credo "La Ilaha El Allah Hu": "There is no God but Allah," or in Sufi interpretation "There is no reality, except God." [http://www.tobyjohnson.com/sufidancing.html]
