  as-salaam alaykum,

Can anyone please explain the word/term Moksha?

  "MOKSHA: In this state there is total annihilation of all sorrow and suffering. After the fall of this body there will be no rebirth."

A hindu term, i would assume some Muslims from the Indian sub-continent have included it in their practice of Islaam somehow, as they have many bid'ahs that result from their closeness to the hindus.

The idea tends to fit with the soofees as well, and Allaah knows best if this is even the word you are asking about.

  as-salaam alaykum,

This is most probably the meaning as the context it came in was when giving dawah to a sufi at my work place.

Jazaak Allaah khairan
