Muraqabah

Our hearts from heedlessness and, sorry, this is other diseases, and our souls from distractions.

The practice of muraqabah, she says, very interesting word used, which means watching over oneself, cultivating self-awareness and I would add or understanding and recognizing that Allah is watching us at all times.

All of that falls under Muraqabah.

It can help us to purify our practice and create vigilance over our inner states.

So inner purification is very important.

And how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, what type of jahannam He's prepared.

Muraqabah, thinking about Allah's anger, Allah's punishments.

Thinking about that, to say, you know what, if I am enticed to sin, let the fear of Allah's wrath push me away from sin.

So, thinking about Allah's forgiveness is more appropriate towards the end of life.

And we had a little bit of a journaling moment and we were able to just really set, which was again, very much a principle of our Dean, intentions, right? And What are we trying to learn today? Bringing ourselves to this present moment.

That's what Murakaba does, right? The Prophet's lesson would contemplate.

And that was about bringing yourself into this awareness of where you are in that moment, what you are feeling, what you are carrying.

And that creates presence, which is very, very important, right? If you're going to explore

You don't even understand what it is, and yet Mashallah Tabaraka Allah, you recite the entire Quran with minimal mistakes.

You do some Muraqabah.

We all make mistakes.

It is human nature.
