Meditation

Meditation is our mode of Teaching and learning. Meditation is Sunnah of HAZRAT

MUHAMMAD MUSTUFA (Peace be upon him).

MURAQBA (Medetation)

Muraqba where we perceive our own selves, the past and future also becomes
present before us and with the help of the ray of this perception a happy and
prosperous life prevails us whole. Khawaja Shamsud Din Azeemi
Muraqba is different from meditation, which his practiced in the world, in many
ways. Meditation is a process in which the human mind concentrates on a spot
materialistically, which encompass the wanes of light at a central point, to produce
its affect.
For example, scientifically, prism is used to refract light rays (which are of 7.colours)
resulting in producing extremely powerful rays, which burns objects. Meditation is a
limited skill which, helps to understand the material sphere.
Muraqba is a spiritual act, in which centrality of the act for mental concentration is
the creator (Allah/God), who is the most knowledgeable. We concentrate our
thoughts to make contact with Allah, so that we can be aware of all the knowledge
present in the Universe. Belief is vital to all spiritual and Universal knowledge since
every intention and every act is illuminated by the lights of belief. Prophet (PBUH)
spent the early part of his life mostly at Mount HIRA, where he used to do Muraqba
and Prophets training by God through Gabriel took place there. It takes nearly four
hours to reach the top of Mount HIRA. Quran is the book which, contains laws of
nature and prophet hood was declared at the age of 40. Can we do Muraqba? Yes,
we can. We have to look at the life of Prophets, who used to do this process, for
building up links with God and to know, God, we need to concentrate on our
thoughts. Thoughts reach us via light and we speak of them s thoughts, ideas,
imaginations etc. what should be noted here is that the patterns of thinking in all
creatures have one point in common and it is this common point or location which
informs us of the presence of other creatures.

For Muslims, this common point is God. Prophets (PBUH) are our teachers and
leaders. We have to have to follow their teachings and practices. Hence, practice of
Muraqba is simply an act of following our Prophets (PBHU) teaching. We do
follow, teachers at schools/colleges to achieve success in obtaining worldly
knowledge, concepts and skills. Similarly, we are obliged to follow our Prophet
(PBUH) and practice it as our Prophet (PBUH) has done for many years at Mount
HIRA cave. Even in Holy Quran, the importance of Muraqba have been mentioned
as: And remember the name of your Lord. Cut your attachments and devote
yourselves entirely to him (chapter LXXIII, Section 13-a1-Muzammil). Qurans every
word and sentence are laws of nature for every human being (muslims and non-
muslims). These laws are operating for the whole Universe. There are many planets
made up of different materials but fundamentals of law as described in quran are
applicable to all these. Although its application may depend on the nature and
environment of the Universe, which are made of different materials. This message
has been quoted in Holy Quran, many times. There is no change in following gods
commandments Why should we do Muraqba?
It is certain that Angles were created before Adam (PBUH). But dam (PBUH) was
given the Khalifat by God on the Universe. We, as humans have inherited this
Khalifat and Leadership from Adam (PBUH). God gave Isim-I-Alliahs knowledge to
Adam (PBUH). As God is Noorani Light was transmitted into Adam(PBUH), then it
turned into soul(Rooh). Noorani Light functions as a source of energy in Adam
(Adam (PBUH) and this energy is utilized to excel our skills and abilities in physical
contributions of Life. All the Isimi-I-Allahs knows knowledge has been inherited in
our Rooh (soul). In this world our conscious is developing he skills, abilities,
knowledge through our Soul, to explore and discover the creativity aspects of the
whole Universe. Our Rooh (soul) is the source of all the energy and knowledge, to
develop our skills in this world. As our soul, with the command of God, displays
Isim_I_Allha (Allahs Virutes), then our conscious body id created. Once a conscious
body is created, this helps us to recognize ourselves as individuals. Allah has
authorized humans as superiors over all the creations. This proves that humans are
rulers for all the Universe. True rulers can be effective only if those who can
understand all their subject.

Allah mentioned before, Adam is the master of all creations of the whole Universe
and hence he knows all creations of the whole Universe and hence he knows all the
knowledge regarding the whole Universe. For this world, as we are recognized with
our conscious body, hence we have to transfer our sub conscious knowledge into
conscious knowledge so that we can use it with our intent. As a Doctor/physician
qualified in medicine, the patient will benefit only when the Doctor practice their
learnt knowledge of medicine. Similarly, the souls abilities have to be practiced to
benefit our conscious body, which displays the benefit to all the creations. Allah is
the most merciful who has created the whole Universe and he nourishes/cares/looks
after its creation. The soul participates in these conscious activities for the benefit
of all creation, which is the aim and objective of Mans khalifat and Niabat. How can
we transfer these into conscious? One of the ways of transferring this knowledge is
through Muraqba, which is our Prophet (PBUH) Sunnah, which was practiced by
Prophet (PBUH) on Mount HIRA cave. Muraqba strengthens to build upon the links of
conscious and sub-conscious (mind). Sub-conscious is the mind of our soul. All the
Allahs virtues and their knowledge is stored in the super-conscious which is in fact
a Record of the Universes knowledge

What is Loh-I-Mahfooz?

Allah is Aleem, his knowledge is infinite. He has given knowledge of living/Universe

to Adam. Allah always had knowledge of the Universe. When God (Allah) wished
that he should be recognized through his virtues then he created the Universe and
individual conscious was created. God said KUN (which is command by Allah).
Then the image of the Universe through his virtues of Aleem were displayed on the
Loh-I-Mahfooz. In other words, Loh-I-Mahfooz is the Screen, where Allah/Gods
knowledge of the Universe is displayed. Humans super-conscious has a mirror
image of Loh-I-Mahfooz is the mirror image of whole Universe, hence it contains all
the knowledge of every object/thing present in the Universe. When someone wants
to recognize himself then he will see the image of himself in his super conscious.
This helps him to understand the aim/objective of his creation and God/Allahs
commands are to become evidently clean to him. To understand and utilize the
written language of Loh_I Mahfooz, it is essential to know about its
terminology/language. As a mirror image of Loh-I-mahfooz is present in our Super-
conscious, hence, it is important that we build up links with our super-conscious. To
build up these links, we have to go through the process of Muraqba.

Every materialistic thing/object of the world is an image of these things/object

present in Loh-I-Mahfooz.

Loh-I-Mahfooz knowledge goes through many steps and processes before being
imprinted in this world.

For example, it takes nine months for a childs development, before it is born. It
starts its process from genes to chromosomes. Which, which forms sperm/egg. Once
the egg is fertilized, it results in a zygote, which develops over a period of time to
form an Embryo, resulting in a child fully developed and born in nine months. If we
want to know the reality of a child, , we do have to see backwards, from a child,
embryo, zygote, egg/sperm, chromosomes and genes. Similarly, to understand the
worlds conscious mind and to find its own identity and reality, then it has to move
backwards from a materialistic self to an inner self. This helps to understand and
recognize for the reason of our creation in this Universe.

To understand the creation and knowledge of the Universe, God has given four
types of Power of Conscious.

Superior-Super-conscious-power

Super-Conscious-power

Sub-Conscious-power

Conscious-power

Everythings origin is from God and would ultimately return towards God. In other
words, the source of origin for everything is from god and when we try to find the
ways to reach towards God, then we move from conscious power. All these
conscious power helps us to recognize Gods virtues.(Top)

Conscious Power
Is the knowledge of matter, which helps us to understand the world.

Sub-Conscious-Power

Is the knowledge of the Universe.

Super-Conscious Power.

Is the knowledge of the virtues of God.

Superior-super-conscious Power

Is the knowledge of God himself through the conscious awareness, we can

recognize our inner self and would be able to know about other conscious powers.

As already mentioned, source and origin of everything is God and as we start

recognizing ourselves, then we move towards recognizing God. Conscious and mind
is nothing except knowledge and knowledge is one of the virtues of God. Gods
virtues and reality is Light and Tajilli. Every conscious power is a stream of light and
it is full of knowledge for all the things. For example, conscious power is the light
which consist of knowledge of all the matter. Similarly, all the four conscious powers
are four streams of light/Tajilli. Every Tajilli has a variety of knowledges within them,
as written above. When Light of the Tajilli travels and reaches the earth it displays
the knowledge. For example, when the projector is used to play a film, then a
picture/image of all the characters are displayed on the screen. The whole
earth/Universe is in fact a screen, where Gods Tajilli and knowledge is being
displayed.

Our sight after visualizing and encompassing these displays, reaches towards its
source of energy. When conscious becomes familiar with Tajilli virtues, then it
become evident recognize Gods virtues and qualities.

The concept for a Muraqba was already described in the earlier pages of this essay.
Through the process of Muraqba, we concentrate our thoughts on a central point. As
the mind develops its concentration on the central point, then this centrality evolves
around Gods knowledge and then this central point radiates out Gods knowledge
with gradual and serious thought towards the centrality of this point and discloses
inner knowledge. In other words thoughts from superior super conscious enters to
super conscious power, then sub conscious power and then conscious power,
resulting in awareness of the true concept of self, which in reality it is nothing but
god alone. Through these processes, humans become aware of their own role as
stage actors, who are performing their part of the play as described by God. It also
helps to acknowledge that the whole Universe is full of Gods light. Muraqba helps
to make direct contact with god.

During the process of Muraqba, our thoughts are concentrated towards God and
these thoughts start travelling deeply into central points and it keeps on increasing
its depth and spread as our thoughts developed. Eventually, this central point,
which is full of light covers our four types of conscious powers. In other works, light
of our thoughts encircles all the four conscious powers and absorbs these conscious
powers. When this stage of complete absorption of our conscious powers are
achieved, it is the ultimated developmental stage of our conscious. Here thoughts
and its light interact with Tajilli and as a result of it, the light of thought is absorbed
in the light of Tajilli. Tajilli is, in fact an image of God. As the light of thought
completely merged within the light of Tajilli then humans thought vanishes into the
Gods thought and the human becomes an effective medium of Gods will.

As darkness disappears in the sunlight, similar thoughts of the Universe disappear

in the thoughts of god. Tafakur of God is infinite, vanishes into infinite then only
infinite is left and of course infinite is God and his knowledge. The practice of
Muraqba encourages the Tafkur of finite and this develops mind to concentrate on
the knowledge of infinity. Universe is finite while God and his knowledge is infinite.
When Tafakur of the Universe fulfils its objective then it enters into an unlimited
state. This is the law of nature that everything eventually returns to its origins.
Every contemplation has originated from unlimited and after performing displays of
its knowledge in a limited state, it disappears back to its origin which is unlimited.
As a result of Muraqba, we learn about the concept and principles of Isim-I-Allah,
which were given by God to all the hmans.

Humans become superior to all other organisms of the Universe, because they could
use and practice the conscious knowledge given to them by God. This enables
humans to be the ruler (Khalifa) over all other creatures of the Universe. After
practicing Muraqba, people become aware of their inner self, its abilities and power.
It also enables them to control and use its unlimited power. As long as we use these
skills and processes with our determination, our conscious power can observe
unseen knowledge.(Top)

Method of Muraqba

We have already mentioned that Muraqba is Sunnah of the Prophets (PBUH)

worship done in Mount HIRAs cave. To practice Muraqba, we have to become
familiar with, the way the Prophet (PBUH) used to

worship in Mount HIRAs cave. Firstly, for Muraqba, you need to be alone, especially
in any corner/space of your home, where you could be on your own. It is the
followings of the Prophet (PBUH), as he sued to spend time away from the worldly
affairs in Mount HIRAs cave. Secondly, the room should be dark (without light). The
reason for this is that light activates our conscious and dark activates our
subconscious. Light kept on activating our conscious continuously, resulting in our
heads full of different ideas and our minds fail to learn anything. Alternatively, in the
dark, subconscious becomes activated and conscious activity is controlled. Hence
the mind is ready to learn. The main purpose of sitting in Mount HIRAs cave was to
away from external light, so that the activity of conscious is reduced.

Thirdly, before practicing Muraqba, the ritual of Wudhu has to be performed.

Advantage of Wudhu is that our mind becomes pure and Wudhu is an essential
element of prayer. God has commanded to do Wudhu and cleaning before prayer.
When we practice this ritual of Wudhu before communicating with God, then in
addition with cleaning our body, clear thoughts in our mind becomes attractive
enough to worship. Fourthly, Muraqba should be performed at specific times. The
best time of Muraqba is before sleeping at night and Fajr (before) dawn , because at
both of these times, each person is free from worldly affairs.(Top)

Muraqba Lesson:

After Wudhu, sit down at a clean place.

The sitting position should be comfortable enough to remain in that position for a
length of time.

Close the eyes and breathe slowly and patiently.

Recite 100 times YAA HAI, YAA QUAYUM

11 times third Kalma

100 times Darouds KHIZARI.

Imagine that your are sitting underneath the Heaven and God is looking at you,
while Noorani light is falling over you. Also imagine and try to feel that god is seeing
you very affectionately. Stay in this position for 15/20 minutes. Finish your Muraqba
with Dua. Practice it every day.(Top)

This is known as Ehsans Muraqba.

At the beginning, many different ideas comes into the mind because the brain could
not control these ideas. But the best way to control these ideas are to let these
ideas infiltrate into the mind, but do not pay any attention to it. Neither, reject these
ideas, do not pay any importance to it, then these ideas will automatically pass
away and with gradual practice, control over these will be achieved. This will
undoubtedly result in brining in a desired picture/ thought of anything in the mind.
Thought is light, which is transferred from sub conscious into conscious. This light
contains information of unseen. Achievement of Tasvaar means that light of
unconscious containing information of imagination has been transferred into
conscious. When this light has been transferred into conscious then conscious
provides it with meaning. After practicing Muraqba, abilities of conscious increases
and it gradually becomes familiar with the unseen, because every information of
unconscious is infect news of the unseen. God is also unseen. Everything which is
above physical existence, infect is unseen. our physical senses could not find God.
We can only find God through our faith.

Law of conscious, suggests that if recognizes everything through its conscious. As

God is far away from physical conscious, that is why human beings doubt unseen
information. In other words, conscious interprets it wrongly. This results in lowering
the value of faith and rejects faith or increase doubt, it causes and increases the
frustration and unhappiness. Nature was aware of the conscious and hence has
formulated rules/regulations for learning the Roohani (soul) knowledge.

For successful Rohani practices, there must be a teacher, who is familiar

with the unseen world. This helps the student/follower to avoid many doubts and
danger in their mind. It also helps him/her to grasp and receive the lights of faith in
the heart through the knowledge of the teacher. Through Muraqba, information from
the unseen world is transferred into conscious mind. Every unseen informations
original source is God and information is infect knowledge of the Universe, while the
Universe is a creation of God. God has given human beings all the knowledge of the
world. Our conscious is very limited to learn all the knowledge of the Universe, but
God has commanded That I (God) am more nearer to you, than your jugular vein.
When we believe this commandment, that through the laws of prayers, our links
with God is established and through the practice of Muraqba, Gods knowledge of
the universe start transferring into our conscious. The question arises here, that if
the source of al the knowledge is God, hen why cant we directly make contact with
God. Then we do not need ma teacher. In a way, this is true, but the fact of the
matter is everything is being carried out according to Gods laws. All the laws and
principles of God are known as Sunnah. In the Sunnah of God, there has been no
change, from the first day of the Universe, nor will there be a change till the last day
(day of Judgement). Gods Sunnah is that a teacher is needed to learn the
knowledge. Every student needs a mechanism and ways of learning the knowledge.
His also true in our conscious world, where a child starts learning from home, then
through teachers of different institutions i.e. mosque, school, colleges t etc.

Following Gods Sunnah, al the Prophets (PBHU) were trained by God, but in this
world God has communicated with the Prophets (PBUH) through Angel Gabriel or
Prophets (PBUH). Physical conscious became veil for Wahee and they recognized
God through their physical conscious.

Roohani teachers third eye is always open and he/she can observe the
unseen. He/she can also see through the hidden capabilities of their
follower (Mureed): their will power activates the speed of learning (wish).
With the increase of wish, in Mureed (follower), the value of Faith is
achieved and he/she sees everything in a real context. Gradually, through
a process, the Roohani teacher activates Mureeds (follower) physical
capabilities and when internal capabilities as a source of energy. Hence
conscious becomes familiar with knowledge and human beings become full
of Universal conscious.

In everything of the Universe, Gods different virtues are working. As our conscious
starts understanding the way and capabilities of universal things, then it becomes
clear that inside everything, God has provided a mind, which is functioning. When
our brain (head) starts catching rays from other brains (head) then it becomes clear
that everything has the same conscious. Thus, we start recognizing God through
gods virtues. Before a film is displayed on the screen, it is evident that between the
project and screen, it presents all pictures of the film in the beam light.

Similarly, Loh-I-Mahfooz is infact a film of the Universe, Unseen is the beam light,
which contains all features and dimensions of the film. Earth is comparable to
screen, where the universal film is being display. There is only one film, but many
screens are present. Every earth of the Universe and every world is displaying the
image of Loh-I-Mahfooz. Under the guidance of the teacher, Mureed (follower),
observe the inside of the unseen Universe. The matter is changed according to the
environment. In other words, the unseen or matter can be seen on the screen,
although the real thing remains the same, but its knowledge or meanings have
changed. Hence Mureed (follower) with the supervision of the teacher, travels in the
unseen world and learns about the working of the inside light and their knowledge.

As Mureeds (follower) conscious increases then his/her third eye starts observing
the Universe in depth and he/she observes Loh-I-Mahfooz or the real film of the
Universe. It opens the reality in links being established with God for developing
conscious up to this level, there is a need of a spiritual teacher, who can give lesson
of Muraqba.

Hazrat Khwaja Shamsud din Azeemi: is a great spiritual leader of the present age, in
his book learn Telepathy types and lessons for Muraqba have been given. After
following those lessons, every person can travel towards Roohanis (Soul) path. It is
important to consider that Gods laws or Sunnah suggests that human beings can
set its own path in this life. Either it can choose to use its brain for excelling in the
worldly knowledge or in the knowledge and virtues of God. If he/she decides to
spend all his/her energies on the acquisition of worldly knowledge, then he/she will
never be able to escape from the narrowness and limited knowledge, as worldly
airspace is limited. This will result as a continuous burden on the Souls limits and
will remain imprisoned in his/her conscious. On the other hand, if he/she strives t
acquire the love and nearness of God, then even after death, the Soul will be full of
limitless, as God is infinite (unlimited) and his/her soul will be always free in
unlimited airspace.

Conscious thoughts are infact, factual knowledge. Until limits of conscious are
rejected, unlimited conscious does not appear. Limits of conscious are worldly, while
unlimited conscious are virtues of God. The ways and the conscious in which human
beings spend its life, becomes a reality even after its death. Thus it is crucially
important for us to strive and utilize our hidden capabilities and through these
expand in our ways and thoughts of life. So that, after death, we can escape from a
closed and imprisoned life.

For this purpose Muraqba is very useful indeed.

MAY ALLAH GIVES US STRENGTH TO DO MURAQBA.
