Muraqba is ( roohaniyat or spirituality), it is something which cannot be achieved by doing a chilla or something, it is a special blessing showered by Allah upon his selected people. Muraqba is the first Sunnah of Our Beloved Prophet MUhammad s,a,w in terms of Worshipping and Thinking of Allah Azzawajal because Salah was not Revealed before The Night of Ascension.
The basis of this word raqaba - yarqabu - means to sit, wait and to look out for … “something to happen” … It can be understood as opening all channels on a radio listening in for some sort of communication.
The word muraaqabah hence means to make oneself receptive through waiting - the state is meditative, but the idea is to search for a connection to the Divine.
Searching can be done by anyone - but only some are blessed with a connection
^Does that mean we’re thinking about death and not God?
I get these dreams here and there which make me feel that Allah hasn’t forgotten me even though I may have. So in a way these dreams encourage me to make an effort for salah and dhikar. Through muraqaba I want to be able to attain that feeling that I get through dreams sometimes.
Catskin, attend a Dhikr gathering. Dhikr in a gathering is far more beneficial then doing alone. The Almighty says that if you remember Him in a gathering then He will remember you in a gathering far better than yours.
