Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on muraqaba, the Sufi contemplative discipline, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for evaluating the practice's own doctrinal claims, which a dedicated Sufi studies source would need to settle.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on muraqaba, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here only for the word's Arabic root etymology, its pre-Islamic Arabian usage describing a desert traveller watching the night sky, and classical scholars al-Qushayri's and al-Jurjani's accounts of the practice's foundation in Muhammad's own ascetic retreats, standard reference facts about origin and etymology rather than any order's internal transmission.
