Baqa — subsistence after annihilation

Baqa in Islamic mysticism describes the state of subsisting in God after the ego-self (nafs) dissolves—not annihilation into void but paradoxical persistence in divine presence. It names the goal of Sufi practice: the self continues but redirected entirely toward the sacred, a transformation rather than obliteration.
