FAQ's

What is Muraqaba?

Muraqaba is a traditional Sufi meditation practice that invites stillness, remembrance of the Divine, and inner awareness. Through gentle presence and regular rhythm, it helps open the heart and deepen the soul’s connection to God.

Do I need prior meditation experience?

No. This practice is accessible to all, whether you are new to meditation or experienced. The guidance is simple, heart‑centered, and rooted in love.

How is this different from other meditation practices?
While many forms of meditation focus on breath, body, or emptying the mind, Muraqaba centers on Divine awareness — consciously turning the heart toward the sacred Presence that permeates all things.

We use language such as Divine, Allah, God, and Beloved, while honoring that each participant may choose the name for the transcendent Source that feels authentic for them.

Rather than detachment, this practice invites intimacy — resting in love, remembrance (dhikr), and spiritual connection.

Do I have to attend all 28 days?

We encourage participants to commit as fully as possible, as the daily rhythm is what makes this practice transformative. That said, if you miss a day, you are still welcome to return the next.

What if I can’t afford to contribute right now?

You are warmly welcome to join regardless of financial ability. Please email us at lilatheseries@gmail.com and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

About The Rose Garden

Heart Space is hosted by The Rose Garden, a warm and welcoming online community for those who seek to connect with the heart of Islam — through love, remembrance, and inquiry.

Whether you are rooted in the tradition or just beginning to explore, you are invited into a circle of sincerity, spiritual depth, and presence. Together, we engage with the Qur’an, reflect on the Prophetic way, and practice the teachings of the Sufi saints — not as distant ideals, but as living guidance for transformation, healing, and unity with the Divine.

Through gatherings of group dhikr, meditation, guided conversation, and occasional classes led by teachers, we tend to the inner garden of the heart — returning, again and again, to the One who is closer to us than our breath.
