Watchfulness (Muraqaba)

Surely Allah—nothing whatever on the earth and in the heaven is hidden from Him. (Al Imran 3:5)

36. Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junada and Abu Abdu’r-Rahman Mu’adh ibn Jabal, may Allah be pleased with them, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Fear Allah wherever you are and follow up an evil action with a good action which will wipe it out. Treat people well.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Birr, 55).

40. Shaddad ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The intelligent man is the one who subjugates himself and works for what will come after death. The stupid man is the one who follows his own whims and hopes that his desires will be gratified by Allah.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Qiyamah, 25).
