If you sit and contemplate what Ramadan is for the soul you will find that Ramadan is a discipline of the soul. We discipline ourselves by not eating or drinking, by abstaining from sexual intercourse with our spouse and by disciplining our eyes and tongues. It is to help us get closer to Allah and develop tawakkul.

God created human beings to worship Him and a practising Muslim in, essence, should be able to worship God in every second, of every hour of every day. Islam is a way of life and it means nothing more, or less, than submission to the One God. {And I (God) created not the jinn and humans except they should worship Me Alone.} (Quran 51:56 ) The concept of God in Islam describes Him as the most Merciful and the most Loving and whatever He prescribes for humankind is in the best interest of humankind. Submission to the will of God is a pathway to purity, to peace and ultimately to Paradise. The word Quran most frequently uses to describe worship as Ibadah . Ibadah is the root of the word ‘ ubudiyyah , which means to express ones humility or humbleness, and as with most Arabic words there are many shades of meaning. Ibadah involves more than an awareness of humility. It is the complete sense of humbleness that overcomes one who is totally submitted to the will of God, the Almighty. Wo...

Frère Rachid Eljay nous parle d’une sœur qui est tombée dans une dépression, et après avoir interrogé et réfléchi à son problème , il a trouvé la cause, qui était ses cauchemars. Combien d’entre nous ont eu des cauchemars qui affectent notre bien-être? Si vous en avez eu, vous pouvez également vous demander si vous êtes autorisé à interpréter ces rêves. Si en tant que musulmans nous sommes autorisés, alors comment interpréter. Rêves et Dieu Les Prières Surérogatoires Dans le Hadith , rapporté Abu Qatada: Le Prophète a dit: Un vrai bon rêve vient d’Allah , et un mauvais rêve vient de Satan. L’interprétation n’est pas une science exacte. Afin d’interpréter les rêves que nous avons, nous devons d’abord avoir une connaissance approfondie et précise du Coran , deuxièmement une forte compréhension de la Sunna, troisième une influence clairvoyante, et quatrième est une compréhension de la personne et de sa situation. L’interprétation d’un même rêve parmi des personnes différ...

For the past few months, I’ve been traveling through Pakistan working on a film project. During this time, I’ve also managed to find myself working during Ramadan. As a non-Muslim working during the Holy month, I’ll admit this has been challenging: blood sugars are low, many people frankly go on vacation- either in reality or in their ‘cognitive workspace’, plus the weather has been very hot in most parts of the country. Frankly, I’ve questioned the wisdom in trying to complete any project during the holiday. So in a quest to set aside my partial disdain for less-than-optimal working conditions, I’ve decided to utilize my time by going on a bit of a spiritual journey. Now, I know that Ramadan is a time to focus on fasting, prayer, charity and devotion to faith. But if I’m completely honest, I’ve frequently questioned the need (and wisdom) for fasting: “Where is the practicality of Muslims fasting during Ramadan?”  I just didn’t get it. So instead of being frustrated and run the...

Ayant commis beaucoup de péchés, tu en as gros sur le cœur. Tu te sens coupable, angoissé et dépressif. Dans cette vidéo, Prof Ismaël Mounir nous enseigne la meilleure manière de demander pardon à Allah. Ainsi, on atteint l’apaisement et on se sent le cœur libéré de tout mauvais sentiment. La Meilleure Manière De Demander Pardon A Allah Le Prophète, de par son extrême bonté et de sa miséricorde exceptionnelle, nous a enseigné une invocation. Il s’agit de « Sayyidou Al-‘Istighfâr » qui est la meilleure manière de demander pardon à Allah. Lorsqu’on récite cette invocation au matin après avoir accompli la prière de Fajr et avant le lever du soleil, s’il arrive que l’on meure en ce jour avant la prière de Maghrib , on fera partie des gens du paradis . De même, si l’on récite cette invocation à l’après-midi, entre la prière de `asr et avant celle du maghrib , et qu’il arrive qu’on meure dans la nuit, on ira au paradis tout de même. Cette invocation s’avère donc être d...

“ This Ramadan , I will improve my prayers. I will ensure I pray on time, at the top of the hour. I will fast without complaining, and prepare simple meals for the Iftar, which include ingredients from the Qur’an. “This Ramadan, I will keep my patience throughout the day, even if the kids break out in squabbles. Besides that, I’ll be working on meals for my children who are not fasting, and their snacks in between. “This Ramadan, I will make sure my husband gets a good meal so that he will last the whole day without too much hardship. The house will be spick and span to honor the month, no food on the floor, dirty laundry always cleaned by the end of the day. No room will be left unturned. If there’s food on the floor, I will clean it up without complaining, if there’s a mess in the living room, I will put the toys away without arguing, and  if fights break out, I will settle them patiently. I definitely plan to complete reading the Qur’an before the 30 days are up, and learn...

On the First Night of Ramadan – I will reflect on the hadith in which the Prophet said about this particular night. He said: When the first night of Ramadan comes, the gates of heavens are open and not a single gate is closed, and the gates of the hell are closed not a single gate is open. The devils are chained. A caller will call, ‘O you who want to do good, come forth; O you who want to do evil stop.’ And Allah sets people free from hell every single night. (Al-Bukhari) – I will make the supplication which the Prophet used to make: O Allah, start this month with good and Iman, safety and Islam. (At-Tirmidhi) The Greatest Name of God by Which He Answers Dua – I will send emails to all my friends congratulating them with the blessed month.

I’ll change my status to, “blessed with the bless...

As Muslims worldwide observe the holy month of  Ramadan , many countries will fast shorter hours than previous years, as Ramadan falls in spring this year. Annually, Hijri years arrive 11 days earlier in respect to the solar Gregorian calendar. This yearly shift makes the holy 9 th  Hijri month of Ramadan move through the seasons in a  33-year cycle .

No hay ninguna evidencia, ni en el Corán ni en la Sunnah, que diga que una persona que acepta el Islam debe cambiar su nombre.  ¿Por qué tomé el nombre de Mujahid? Normalmente, cuando escribo mi nombre, escribo Jaime y, entre paréntesis, Mujahid. Pero ¿por qué tomé el nombre de Mujahid? La gente que ha sido musulmana toda su vida creen que cuando una persona entre en el Islam, toma una nueva identidad. Por esa razón, diferentes personas, a veces son gente de conocimiento pero otras también amigos de la persona que ha entrado en el Islam, le dicen que debe cambiar su nombre.  En mi caso, yo tenía un profesor en el lugar donde estuve yendo a aprender sobre el Islam antes de hacerme musulmán, era un profesor de Tafsir , de interpretación del Corán. Este hombre era una persona de conocimiento de Argelia y tenía mucho amor por enseñar el Corán, era una persona que se llevaba muy bien con todos.  ¿Qué significa hacerse musulmán? Antes de aceptar el Islam est...
