Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness praying. During his stay, He was tempted by Satan, who used greed and other tactics to lead him astray. However, Jesus paid no attention to his follies. Eventually Jesus was able to receive the divine favors.

In the Gospels (injeel) of Mark, it is stated:

“And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness for forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.” [1:9-13]

Whether it is a spiritual confinement of Mary or retreat of Moses or Jesus, the main thing is that these noble personalities did spend a part of their life isolated from civilization and worldly affairs and were drawn to the unseen world with their full concentration.

Now we are going to shed some lights on how Muraqaba is related in Islam and its place in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
