Irfan Hozo
In Islam, irfan (Arabic/Persian/Urdu: ; ), literally 'knowledge, awareness, wisdom', is a concept in Islamic mysticism akin to gnosis, or spiritual knowledge. Sunni mysticism According to the founder of the Qadiriyya Sufi order, Abdul Qadir Gilani ''irfan'' is the acknowledgement of God's unity.

Among the best-known modern Shia proponents of ''irfan'' were Usuli theologians Muhammad Husayn Tabatabai, Ruhollah Khomeini, Mohammad-Taqi Bahjat Foumani, Hassan Hassanzadeh Amoli, and Ali Tab ...
