mojoodiat.
Explanation:
These terms requiere to be understood in a particular context. Being is being is being in-itself and being for- it self. being in it self is there and only exists because of the conciousness which is being for itsself. it is man and mind. when the being for-itself confronts the being in-itself the existence is born. the phonemenonal word appear. existennce is appearence.
so mojoodiat can not be translated as wajoodiat. when some being appears through the agency of conciousness it is existence. wajood is what is... it need not to exist, it is wojood, hence even nothingness has a being.

see ,Alli Abbas Jalalpuri on mojoodiat kia hae' and his other related philosophical writings.

Wajoodiyat


Explanation:
Ilme wajoodiyat as suggested by a friend means "knowledge or science of existentialism". Existentialism, the nount is just one word and that is: wajoodiyat.

We have checked with the 6-volume Jami English Urdu Dictionary published by the National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language, Government of India.
