Another act of devotion, which usually accompanies the zikr, is that of Muraqabah, or meditation.

The worshiper first performs zikr of the following: -

Allahu haziri, "God who is present with me."

Allahu naziri, "God who sees me."

Allahu ma'i, "God who is with me."

Having recited this zikr, either aloud or mentally, the worshiper proceeds to meditate upon some verse or verses of the Koran. Those recommended for the Qadiriyah Faqirs by Maulavi Shah Waliyu 'llah are the following, which is considered most devotional and spiritual by Muslim mystics: -

1. Suratu 'l-Hadid (57:3)

"He (God) is first. He is last. The Manifest, and the Hidden, and who knoweth all things."

2. Suratu 'l-Hadid (57:4)

He (God) is with you wheresoever ye be."

3. Suratu Qaf (50: 16)

"We (God) are closer to him (man) than his jugular vein."

4. Suratu 'l-Baqarah (2:109)

Whichever way ye turn, there is the face of God."

5. Suatu 'n-Nisa (4:125)

"God encompasseth all things."

6. Suratu 'r-Rahman (55:26,27)

"All on earth shall pass away, but the face of thy God shall abide resplendent with majesty and glory."
