Overview
**Murabata** is a comprehensive spiritual habit formation application designed specifically for Muslims seeking to break harmful habits and strengthen their relationship with Allah. The app is built upon the timeless wisdom of Imam Al-Ghazali's tazkiyah (self-purification) framework, providing a structured, spiritually grounded approach to personal transformation.
Core Philosophy
Murabata recognizes that breaking harmful habits requires more than willpower alone—it requires spiritual grounding, self-awareness, and accountability. The app integrates Islamic principles, Quranic guidance, and the wisdom of classical Islamic scholars to create a holistic system for personal growth and self-purification.
The Six Stages of Transformation
Murabata guides users through six distinct stages, each building upon the previous one:
Stage 1: Intention (المشارطة - Mushārata)
Users begin by setting a clear intention and defining their spiritual struggle. This stage involves:
- Setting a specific intention for the habit they wish to break
- Defining the frequency and duration of their journey
- Making a conscious covenant with Allah
- Guarding the seven limbs from sin (eyes, ears, tongue, stomach, genitals, hands, feet)
Stage 2: Reminder (المراقبة - Murāqaba)
This stage focuses on maintaining consciousness of Allah's presence throughout the day:
- Reflecting on Allah's names and attributes
- Cultivating awareness of divine observation
- Receiving reminders to stay mindful
- Understanding that Allah is ever-watchful and present
Stage 3: Tracking (المحاسبة - Muḥāsaba)
Users track their struggles and obstacles:
- Recording entries when they face challenges or fail
- Honest self-accounting of actions and thoughts
- Building awareness of patterns and triggers
- Understanding the importance of self-scrutiny
Stage 4: Correction (المعاقبة - Muʿāqaba)
Based on tracked failures, users create actionable correction steps:
- Building a checklist of preventive measures
- Creating accountability mechanisms
- Learning from past mistakes
- Developing strategies to avoid future failures
Stage 5: Learning (المعاتبة - Muʿātaba)
Users reflect on their journey and extract lessons:
- Documenting what they've learned
- Understanding the deeper spiritual lessons
- Recognizing growth and transformation
- Preparing for future challenges
Stage 6: Reflection (المجاهدة - Mujāhada)
The final stage involves deep reflection on the complete journey:
- Writing a comprehensive final reflection
- Acknowledging the transformation experienced
- Speaking directly to the nafs (lower self)
- Awakening to reality, death, and accountability
