From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Ar-Raqeeb means the Watchful, the Ever-Observing: the One who watches over all creatures and takes care of them, and from whom nothing is hidden.
Understanding the Name
Allah watches over us at every moment: “Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer” (An-Nisa’ 4:1). The Sufis call the constant awareness of this muraqabah, a word from the same root, and it is one of the central practices of the path: sitting in the awareness that Allah is watching over the heart.
Muraqabah makes worship sincere and keeps the heart from heedlessness. A person who feels watched over by Ar-Raqeeb is both protected and guided.
Effects and reflections
This quality of Allah reminds His servants at every moment that they are being watched by the Almighty.
Many Muslims today are heading towards ruin by ignoring this fact, thinking that Allah is not watching them. May Allah forgive us. To believe that anyone besides Allah is also one’s true guardian is shirk. Even those who are busy with learning, such as scholars, jurists, hadith experts and huffaz, must keep this awareness; otherwise the ummah divides into many sects, and through division it becomes weak and oppressed. May Allah guide us. Ameen.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā Raqīb” 323 times after every prayer will, Insha’Allah, receive divine protection for himself and his family from all calamities.
