for commenting. Moulana saheb's words have such hikmah in them that I cannot bring it forth in my own words. One really only realizes the effect of the akaabir when they have contact with them!

Ameen to the du'aas.

For those who ,for any reason,find muraqeba e mot unpleasent,for them Hakim ul ummat Moulana Ashraf Ali thanvi used to prescribe " MURAQEBAE HAYAT",ie to think about the life hereafter,the paradise,its glory,the never ending life,with no fear of death or disease,no miseries,nothing to displease you,hoories,great palaces,rivers of honey and milk,all for you with no restrictions and no limitations.BUT that is to be achieved only if we please our Lord,here,in this life by our good deeds.
A very useful alternative to muraqebae mot.

that is interesting, for sharing. I guess for some positive enforcement is better.

I dont think muraqaba e maut is unpleasant if you think finally one day you would meet your beloved Allah.

i agree,it should not be unpleasant.In fact one Khalifa of Hazrat Shaikh ul hadeeth Ra (Molana Mukhtiar uddin shah sb db) once told us that he was very scared of death,but by doing muraqebae mot his fear evaporated,and now he feels relaxed.Still it is noted that some people get sort of nervous attacks while doing it.May be Hazrat Thanvi ra had advised it for such people.Wallaho alam.

Muraaqabah can also be on the blessings Allah subhaanahu wata'ala bestows upon us. Contemplating on how He blesses us without our deserving it creates muhabbat in the heart and also it makes one feel insignifcant and humble in front of His extreme generosity and kindness.

Hazrath Thanvi (ra) wrote a book called Shauq e Watan. I highly recommend all Muslims to keep this book in their collection and read from it from time to time. Depression and all sorts of fears can be cured by reading portions of this book daily. Its a small pamphlet.

In this book he goes off of the idea that one should ponder over the blessings found in jannah and that this will encourage one to do good deeds and abstain from evil i.e. knowing I will get beautiful hoors in Jannah that no eye has seen I wont put lustful gaze upon na-mehram women anymore in this world.

This approach has also been used also by Hazrath Moulana Ilyas (ra) in his dawat and tabligh mission where he emphasizes amar bil ma'roof over nahi anil munkar with the idea that if amar bil ma'roof is accomplished then by itself will take care of nahi anil munkar. Hazrath Shaikh Zakariyyah has followed in this approach and compiled a book titled Fazail e Amal with the same theme.

This is just my thought, I didnt read this anywhere I just made it up on my own so dont attach this saying to any buzrugh but I think that possibly there are hints here that these mashaikh overall utilized the principle of tahliya over takhliya in doing general taribiyat of masses - but maybe this idea is far fetched, Omega could possibly shed more light on this.

Very interesting post, there is also a book called mukashafatu'l qulub on this subject .
