In Sufism, a muqarrab (Arabic: مُقَرَّب‎; 'Rapproached to God'), is a wassil who is close to the Hijab and Allah mercy.

Presentation

The muqarrab is the Sufi and Wassil who only turns to Allah, hears nothing but Allah, and only Allah testifies, and this is the shrine of those muqarrabine.

It is not the shrine of the talibes, murids and saliks, so the argument in this way is for Al-Insān al-Kāmil, the Siddiq, the Taqiye, and not everyone who claims to reach has arrived.

Just as there is a class among angels, they are "Angels Muqarraboune", there is in humans a similar class, they are muqarraboune.

Sufis consider the status of muqarrab to come after the Madjdoub stage, after the salik entered the maqaam of wassil.

Whereas we find that the salik wants to get closer to the presence of Allah, the madjdoub is granted the attraction to bring him closer to the divine Nūr, while the Mutahaqiq attains stability in the position of the wassil.

English translation

Arabic: واعلم أن كل حال شريف نعزوه إلى الصوفية في هذا الكتاب هو حال المقرب، والصوفي هو المقرب، وليس في القرآن اسم الصوفي، واسم الصوفي ترك ووضع للمقرب على ما سنشرح ذلك في بابه. ولا يعرف في طرفي بلاد الإسلام شرقاً وغرباً هذا الاسم لأهل القرب، وإنما يعرف للمترسمين، وكم من الرجال المقربين في بلاد المغرب وبلاد تركستان وما وراء النهر ولا يسمون صوفية، لأنهم لا يتزيون بزي الصوفية، ولا مشاحة في الألفاظ فيعلم أنا نعني بالصوفية المقربين، فمشايخ الصوفية الذين أسماؤهم في الطبقات وغير ذلك من الكتب كلهم كانوا في طريق المقربين وعلومهم علوم أحوال المقربين، ومن تطلع إلى مقام المقربين من جملة الأبرار فهو متصور، ما لم يتحقق حالهم، فإذا تحقق بحالهم صار صوفيا، ومن عداهما ممن تميز بزي ونسب إليهم فهو متشبه.‎ — Shihab al-Din 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, Awarif al-Maarif

English: And know that every honorable case we attribute to Sufism in this book is the case of the muqarrab, and the Sufi is the muqarrab, and the Quran does not have the name of the Sufi, and the name of the Sufi was left and placed for the muqarrab, as we will explain this in its chapter. And it is not known at the two ends of the countries of Islam, east and west, that this name is known to the people of kinship, but it is known to the professors, and how many muqarrabine in the countries of the Maghreb, Turkestan and Beyond the River, are not called Sufis, because they do not wear Sufi garb, nor is there a problem with words, so he knows I mean by muqarrabine Sufis, so sheikhs Sufis whose names are in the classes and other books all were on the path of muqarrabine and their sciences are the sciences of muqarrabine, and those who aspire to the shrine of those muqarrabine are conceivable, unless their condition is fulfilled, and if their condition is fulfilled, he will become a Sufi, and whoever distinguished them with a dress and was attributed to them is similar. — Shihab al-Din 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, Awarif al-Maarif
