The realm of Malakut (Arabic: عَالَم الْمَلَكُوت, romanized: ʿālam al-malakūt, lit. 'world of the kingdom [of God]'), also known as Hurqalya or Huralya,[1] is a proposed invisible realm of medieval Islamic cosmology.
The Quran speaks of the malakūt al-samāwāt wa l-arḍ "kingdom of heaven and earth", where the heavenly kingdom represents the ultimate authority of God over the earth.[2][3]
This concept is attested by the writings of al-Ghazali (c. 1058–1111), but limited to epistemological categories of understanding metaphysical realities (spirits, heavens, etc.).[4] Only centuries later, in particular with the Illuministic school of thought (Ishrāqi) and ibn Arabi (1165 – 1240), was it developed into a full ontological concept.[5]: 189
Malakut is sometimes used interchangeably with 'ālam al-mithāl or imaginal realm, but otherwise distinguished from it as a realm between 'ālam al-mithāl and 'ālam al-jabarūt. In this context, Malakut is a plane below the high angels, but higher than the plane where the jinn and demons live.[6] The higher realms are not spatially separated worlds but impinge the realms below.[7]
