The outside of a zāwiyah, a place where Sufis would conduct their murāqabah sessions which was usually in a private section of a masjid

Murāqabah (Arabic: مراقبة, lit.: "to observe") is an Islamic methodology, whose aim is to enter into a transcendental union with God.[1] It is a tradition commonly found in ṭarīqas (Sufi orders). According to tradition, it is said to have been the practice of Muhammad during his stay in the Cave of Hira before he met Jibreel.[2]
