"Muraqaba" in Arabic translates as "to be on the watch", or to guard the heart from focusing on any object that is not God.

To begin Muraqaba meditation, begin by thinking about any object that was created by God (makhluq), any action undertaken by God (such as continuous creation, or "takhliq"), or any of God's qualities (such as God as the Creator, or "khaliq”).

Try staying focused on this thought for a few minutes to the exclusion of all other thoughts.
