Dhawq

In Sufism, dhawq (Arabic: ذوق, lit. 'tasting') is direct, first-hand experience.^[1] It refers, principally, to the Gnosis of God which is achieved experientially, as a result of rigorous empiric spiritual wayfaring.^[2] It plays an important role in the epistemology of Al-Ghazzali, and is often expressed, to some extent, in teleological statements scattered throughout his works.
