Mindfulness (al-muraqabah) is a conscious state of comprehensive awareness of God and our inner states (thoughts and feelings) in relation to Him. Contemplating the signs of God (ayaat) that exist in the world helps one extract knowledge, and informs us on how to act, think, and feel. Acquiring such knowledge builds spiritual intelligence-the ability of a person to process the world around them and discover meaning and significance. 

In this day and age, we find ourselves swimming in a sea of distractions, one wave bombarding us after another. Mindful living is vital if we wish to lead a meaningful life and gain the wisdom, focus and awareness needed to succeed in this life and the hereafter.
