“ It can also be stated as, muraqbah is the initial, while tafakkar or meditation is the extreme stage. Muraqbah or tafakkar are in fact two names for the same thing i.e. “meditation” through which a person gains the knowledge of his soul. After gaining this knowledge, he finds the reality of his soul. Faqr progresses through tafakkar. Only by tafakkar, the secrets of this path are gradually disclosed, that is why, the Seeker of Allah always remains busy in meditation and every moment he reaches a new destination of closeness to Allah through meditation upon the inward. ”
