Wahdat ul wajud mean Allah is present in everything. And Wahdat ul Shahood mean all things are reflection of Allah.

meaning of wahadat tul wajood and wahadat tul shahood.
 

wahadat tul shahud is mujadad alf sani concept that says allah is one, it is all about unity of being, oneness of allah cannot be shared or competed

while Wahadat tul wajood comes from Great Albars court that says allah and His creatures are same. because Allah's charateristics are laid somewhere in His creatures...:waiting

Both doctrines are related to the relationship between God and the universe.

Wahdal al-Wujud means the unity of being/unity of existence.Doctrine formulated by the school of Ibn al Arabi, which postulates that God and His creation are one,since all that is created preexisted in God's knowledge and will return to it.

While,Wahdat al-Shuhud is opposed to Wahdat al-Wujud.Doctrine taught by Sufi Ahmed al-Sirhandi which holds that God and His creation are entirely different.

Stay blessed

Wahdat ul Wajood or Sufi Doctrine of the Unity of Existence means that only Wajood or existence is of Allah and everything else is dependent upon Him. Or they say it is Allah that exists in everything and this whole universe is a mirror of Him. It came out of the belief that only Allah has to live forever and he is independent while every other thing of this world is dependent on Him. As Shah Hussain R.A has said. "Kahay hussain faqeer sayeen da main naahin sabh tun". It can also be defined by the [I]Mansoor Al-Hallaj's Anal Haq
[/I] which is thought to be said by him in madness of love with Allah that he said himself God.
Wahdat ul Shahood is opposite of the above doctrine (which basically emerged out of the danger that common people could possibly forget any differentiation between Allah and His creation, which Sufis infact said due to their ultimate love with the Creator and doesnot actually means that Allah and Creation is one, it just meant that Allah and Creation is very close to each other) and it says that Allah and His creation are separate and nothing can be merged with Allah.

Is there any difference between the concept of Pantheism of Wordsworth and that of Wahdat ul Wajood of Mughal King, Akbar?
