Forma y significado: las dos alas del Islam

Nuestro Din, el Islam, está formado por dos grandes elementos: forma y significado. Uno es ad-Dhahir, lo aparente, la forma, lo que se puede materializar como Sharía. Otro es al-Batin, lo invisible, la espiritualidad, el corazón. 

Forma y significado: las dos alas de un pájaro

Ambas partes, la forma y la espiritualidad, son necesarias en el Din. Son como las dos alas de un pájaro, que si una le falla, no puede volar. 

Forma y significado son las dos partes que hemos de buscar si queremos tener un Din completo, si queremos aspirar a la excelencia. 

Pero ambas cosas vienen de Allah. Él ha creado lo material y lo espiritual y ha hecho que lo material sea un contenedor para lo espiritual.  

Lo espiritual es el contenido, todo aquello que hacemos para elevar nuestro estado y estar más cerca de Allah. Es como una bebida que necesita un recipiente que la contenga. Este recipiente es la forma, que es lo material. Cuando lo espiritual y lo material están juntos, al forma y el significado convergen.

Esta forma no es aleatoria, sino que contiene una sabiduría.

Una forma superficial

Por desgracia, en muchos casos se nos enseña una forma superficial, sin significado. Por ejemplo, cuando nos cuesta hacer las oraciones a su hora es porque no entendemos el valor que tienen estas.

Cuando tenemos un trabajo, una clase o una consulta con el médico, no ponemos excusas para no ir o llegar tarde. En cambio, cuando es la hora del Salat, sí que lo hacemos.

Esto se debe, entre otras cosas, a la forma materialista de ver el mundo de la sociedad en la que vivimos. Se debe a que no entendemos por qué hacemos la oración. Esta sociedad ha separado forma y significado.

Allah nos ha trazado un camino para acercarnos a Él. El primero en recorrer este camino fue el Profeta Muhmmad, quién nos enseñó cómo hacerlo. 

Toda realidad se tiene que materializar

¿Quién creería a un cónyuge o pretendiente que dice que nos quiere mucho, pero que no nos habla, no nos mira y no acude a las citas? Por mucho que esta persona dijese que nos quiere, sus acciones dicen lo contrario. Si su amor fuese verdadero, se materializaría en acciones.

No podemos pretender que amamos mucho Allah cuando nuestras acciones nos dicen lo contrario. La forma que Allah ha establecido, con la oración, el ayuno, el tratar bien a la gente, etc. tiene un significado: que no nos olvidemos de él mientras vivimos nuestra vida. 

El significado de esta forma es que materialicemos en nuestra acciones lo que creemos en nuestro corazón.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
