Bāṭin (Arabic: باطن) literally means "inner", "inward", "hidden", etc. The Quran, for instance, has a hidden meaning in contrast to its exterior or apparent meaning, the Zahir. Sufis believe that every individual has a batin in the world of souls. It is the inward self of the individual; when cleansed with the light of one's spiritual guide, it elevates a person spiritually.[1][2]
This notion is connected to Allah's attribute of the Hidden One, who cannot be seen but exists in every realm.
Muslim groups believe that batin[3] can be fully understood only by a figure with esoteric knowledge. For Shia Muslims, that is the Imam of Time.
In a wider sense, it[3] is the inner meaning or reality behind all existence, the Zahir[3] being the world of form and the apparent meaning.
