ملخص الجهاز:

(Afrasiabpour, Rashidi, 1397: 77) {Refer to the attached table file} (Rumi, 1376 : 1/38) Muraqaba (Meditation) In the definition and explanation of muraqaba in Dehkhoda Dictionary, it is stated as follows: Muraqaba is fearing and bowing the neck; in the terminology of mystics, it is the presence of the heart with God and absence from everything other than Him. Ibn Arabi considers mujahada or muraqaba to be forcing the self through physical hardships and pains that weaken and loosen the temperament (Futuhat al-Makkiyya, Chapters 76 and 77: 34) Furthermore, the word "muraqaba" in Islamic mysticism is derived from raqib-yuraqib-muraqabah and means observation/attention, and it is used in the Persian language just as in Arabic. This parable shows that the soul of man also ultimately abandons the darkness of the sensory world and draws itself, as its nature requires, toward the infinite and luminous world, which is the supra-sensory realm" (Zarrinkoub, 1376: 217) Requirements of Muraqaba from Rumi's Perspective Liberation from time and space and reaching a state of wonder (Tahayyur) {Refer to the attached table file} Beings that are bound by time have no knowledge of the timeless, abstract world, because when the captives of time have the veil lifted from their eyes and observe that world, they are overwhelmed with wonder.
