kashf

The literal meaning of the word kashf is "unveiling," but in Sufi terminology it means to expose the heart to metaphysical illumination or "revelation" unattainable by reason. There is supposed to be yet a higher stage beyond kashf which is called al-tajalli, or Divine manifestation: the appearance of God to man.
