La Belle Islam. Pas de contrainte en Islam

                          Au nom d'Allah, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux.

 Alors qu’il était chrétien, Romain fut un ami que je respectais, avec qui je partageais presque tout le temps de mes jours. Je ne le jugeais pas pour sa foi. Oui il était chrétien alors que moi  j’étais musulman, cela ne me dérangeait pas. Tu dois aussi faire la même chose mon Fils dans la mesure où tu peux apprendre quelque chose de ton ami, peu importe sa religion, du  moment  où  il respecte tes croyances et ne t’incite pas à poser des actes répréhensibles ou les actes qui peuvent provoquer le courroux de Dieu sur toi, tu as donc intérêt à faire pareil et lier ton amitié à celui-ci. Car  ta religion, est une religion du juste milieu qui prône la paix et le respect des autres croyances. Je dis bien le respect des autres croyances. Cela signifie que ta religion ne contraint pas. ALLAH, c’est un Dieu qui dans son omniscience a donné l’homme la forme la plus parfaite de telle manière qu’extérieurement et intérieurement, l’homme ne manque de rien du tout. Il a une forme qui lui permet de connaitre et de reconnaitre, de comprendre le vrai et le faux. Et ta religion s’est dissimilée du faux. C’est une religion vivante et qui s’adapte à toute génération. Sa langue, ses sources scripturaires sont toujours d’actualité mais ne font et n’ont été objet d’aucune révision comme nombreux des encyclopédies des hommes. Le Qur’an, depuis l’an 610 a été révélé au prophète. Ce Qur’an a été utilisé pendant des siècles pour illustrer et éclairer l’homme dans ses quotidiens. Jusqu’ici, rien n’est ajouté ni retranché de ce livre, mais il continue par répondre aux inquiétudes de l’humanité tel qu’il fut révélé à l’aube de sa venue. C’est un grand et suffisant signe pour ceux qui sont doués de vrai raison. Tu voix là normalement que le travail te sera simple, lorsque tu te  lèveras pour appeler les gens vers cette religion en compagnie d’un tel livre miraculeux. Mais cependant, je confirme avec toi que ceci n’est pas le cas comme il ne fut pas le cas en compagnie de celui sur qui ce livre miraculeux fut descendu, Mohamad ibn Abdallah. Mais jamais, il n’imposa cette conviction religieuse aux siens. Les hostilités des gens doivent être respectées et ne jamais avoir un sentiment de refoulement envers un non-musulman. Je connais l’histoire d’un pasteur, qui fut un grand pasteur dans sa communauté chrétienne et qui fondit plusieurs églises qu’il dirigeait lui-même. Ce dernier partageait son quartier avec des musulmans qui régulièrement rendaient visite aux voisins y compris le pasteur. Mais jamais ils ne diabolisaient le pasteur pour sa religion au contraire il s’approcha plus du pasteur pour lui apprendre leur religion et laissa donc la décision de conversion à ALLAH. Au même moment, il y avait une localité pas trop reculée

de celle du pasteur. Un jour, son collègue ; pasteur aussi, lui invita pour partager un dimanche avec lui dans son église. Arriver chez ce dernier il fut étonné de la relation qui existe entre la communauté non-musulmane et musulmane de cette localité. Chacun diabolisait l’autre pour sa foi. Ceci suscita la curiosité du pasteur et qui par la grâce de Dieu, dans ses recherches a découvert non seulement qu’il n’était pas dans du vrai mais aussi le vrai islam était celui pratiqué par les musulmans de sa localité. La douceur, la tolérance, la compréhension et la sagesse furent quelques méthodes utilisées par les musulmans de l’islam naissant alors que le paganisme était enraciné dans les comportements pendant leur époque. Ni le musulman ni le non-musulman ne doit imposer une quelconque croyance à l’autre. Chacun doit plutôt développer en lui une posture lui permettant d’être ouvert à tout critique et écoute. Nous disons souvent, la vraie réconciliation résulte du dialogue. Alors pour comprendre l’autre, il faut dialoguer et l’écouté, lui-même, afin d’avoir la version originale des faits pour élucider nos incompréhensions. Les non-musulmans de nos jours, disons le courageusement, peuvent avoir certains comportements inappropriés à l’égard des musulmans suite à des diabolisations de l’islam par des occidentaux à travers les médias, ou suite à des attentats perpétrés au "nom de l’islam". A mon sens ces comportements inappropriés doivent être respectés par les musulmans et passer à l’autre étape. L’étape qui consiste à adopter les comportements comme ceux des quelques savant musulmans à l’instar de Tariq Ramadan qui a toujours condamné les attentats orchestrés et qui s’expliquent au non de l’islam. Puisque nul part, aucun indice dans le Qur’an ni dans la sunna exhorte de tuer au nom de l’islam. Je ne pense pas que vouloir imposer l’islam à un peuple, est islamique. Certes, il y a une diabolisation de l’islam à leur où je vous parle. Mais la réponse doit relever d’une pédagogie qui fait appelle à la sagesse, à une stratégie de souplesse et de BON COMPORTEMENT du musulman ou de la musulmane. Sinon, moi de ma part, je suis trop intelligent pour faire parti de l’islam qui est présenté aujourd’hui dans les média. Et c’est de cela que nous parle le Qur’an en ces termes :

“Nulle contrainte en religion (Islam) ǃ car le bon chemin s’est distingué de l’égarement. (……………..)“

Heaven

The reality of Paradise is something which people will never be able to understand until they actually enter it, but God has shown us glimpses of it in the Quran. He has described it as a place essentially different to the life of this world, both in the very nature and purpose of life, as well as the types of delights which people will enjoy therein. The Quran tells people about Paradise, which God offers to them, describes its great blessings, and proclaims its beauties to everyone. It informs people that Paradise is one of two ways of life prepared for them in the afterworld, and that every good thing will be theirs in Paradise to a degree that surpasses our present ability to imagine. It also shows that Paradise is a place where all blessings have been created perfectly and where people will be offered everything their souls and hearts will desire, and that people will be far removed from want and need, anxiety or sadness, sorrow and regret. Every kind of beauty and blessing exists in Paradise and will be revealed with a perfection never seen or known before. God has prepared such blessings there as a gift, and these will be offered only to people with whom He is pleased.

But what is the nature of these delights in Paradise, and how will it be different from the delights of this world? We will try to highlight a few of these differences.

Pure delight without pain and suffering

While people in this world experience some delight, they also face much toil and suffering. If one was to scrutinize the life which they live, they will find that the amount of hardship they face is much more than the ease and comfort. As for the life of the Hereafter, there will be neither hardship nor suffering in it, and people will live therein in pure joy and delight. All the causes of sorrow, pain and suffering which people experience in this life will be absent in the Hereafter. Let’s take a look at some of these causes.

Wealth

When one thinks of success in this life, they usually conjure the image of big houses, fine jewelry and clothing, and expensive cars; financial stability is seen to be the key to a happy life. To most people, success is inseparably related to wealth, even though this is the furthest from the truth. How many times have we seen the wealthiest of people living such miserable lives, that it sometimes even leads them to commit suicide! Wealth is something which humans in their very nature desire at any cost, and this desire has been created for a great and wise purpose. When this desire is not satiated, it causes some extent of grief in a person. For this reason, God has promised the inhabitants of Paradise that they will have all that they imagined as far as wealth and belongings are concerned, both for those who were extremely poor, experiencing even hunger and thirst, to those well-to-do but who desired even more. God gives us a glimpse of this when he says:

“... there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that the eyes could delight in …” (Quran 43:71)

“Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent forth (good deeds) in days past!” (Quran 69:24)

“… They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade. They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good [is] the recompense! How beautiful a couch [is there] to recline on!” (Quran 18:31)

Disease and Death

Another cause of pain and suffering in this life is the death of a loved one or disease, which are both non-existent in Paradise. None will feel any sickness or pain in Paradise. The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said about the people of Paradise:

“They will never fall ill, blow their noses or spit.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

None will die in Paradise. All shall live eternally enjoying the pleasures therein. The Prophet Muhammad said that a caller will call out in Paradise when people enter it:

“Indeed may you be healthy and never be sick again, may you live and never die again, may you be young and never grow feeble again, may you enjoy, and never feel sorrow and regret again.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Social Relationships

As for the remorse felt due to a rift in personal relationships, people will never hear any evil or hurting comments or speech in Paradise. They will only hear good words and words of peace. God says:

“They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin. But only the saying of: Peace! Peace!” (Quran 56:25-26)

There will be no enmity between people nor ill-feelings:

“And We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all, in the life of this world)…” (Quran 7:43)

The Prophet said:

“There will be no hatred or resentment among them, their hearts will be as one, and they will glorify God, morning and evening.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

People will have the best of companions in the Hereafter, who were also the best people in the world:

“And whoever obeys God and the Messenger – those will be with the ones upon whom God has bestowed favor – of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions!” (Quran 4:69)

The hearts of the people of Paradise will be pure, their speech will be good, their deeds righteous. There will be no hurtful, upsetting, offensive or provocative talk there, for Paradise is free of all worthless words and deeds. If we were to discuss all the causes for anguish in this life, we would surely find its absence or opposite to be true in Paradise

The Eternalness of the Hereafter

The Pleasures of this world are transient whilst the joys of the hereafter are lasting and eternal. In this life when a person enjoys something, it is only a short while before they get bored with it and proceed to search for something they feel is better, or they may not feel a need for it altogether. As for the delights of Paradise, a person will never feel bored with anything, but rather, its goodness will increase each time they indulge in it.

Also, the life of this world is very short. Humans only live on this earth for a short while, and very few people reach the age of seventy.

“…Say: Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is (far) better for him who fears God...” (Quran 4:77)

As for Paradise, people will live forever. God says:

“...its provision is eternal and so is its shade…” (Quran 13:35)

“What is with you must vanish, and what is with God will endure …” (Quran 16:96)

“(It will be said to them): This is Our Provision, which will never finish” (Quran 38:54)

Superior Delights

The delights of the people of Paradise, such as their clothing, food, drink, jewelry and palaces, will be far superior to their counterparts in this world. There is in fact no room for comparison, as even the smallest space in Paradise is better than this world and all that is in it. The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said:

“The space of the bow of any one of you in Paradise is better than all that the sun rises upon” (Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh 3/85, no. 5615)

Free from all Impurities

Paradise is free from all the impurities of this world. Eating and drinking in this life results in the need for excretion and its associated unpleasant odors. If a person drinks wine in this world, he loses his mind. Women in this world menstruate and give birth, which are sources of pain and hurt. Paradise is free from all of these discomforts: its people will not urinate, defecate, spit or suffer from catarrh. The wine of Paradise, as described by its Creator, is:

“Crystal-white, delicious to those who drink (thereof), free from intoxication, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom” (Quran 37:46-47)

The water of Paradise does not become brackish, and its milk never changes in flavor:

“...rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes...” (Quran 47:15)

The women of Paradise are pure and free from menstruation, postnatal bleeding and all the other impurities suffered by women in this world, and all are free from stool and feces. God says:

“...and they shall have therein purified mates…” (Quran 2:25)

The prophet answered a person when they asked how the people of Paradise will relieve themselves:

“They relieve themselves by perspiring through their skins, and its fragrance will be that of musk, and all stomachs will have become lean.” (ibn Hibbaan)

What we have mentioned has been a mere comparison in order to understand the nature of Paradise, but as God said, its delights are truly hidden:

“No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do.” (Quran 32:17)

Paradise: There is Nothing Like It

The delights of Paradise surpass the imagination and defy description. They are like nothing known to the people of this world; no matter how advanced we may become, what we achieve is as nothing in comparison with the joys of the Hereafter. As is mentioned in several reports, there is nothing like Paradise:

“It is sparkling light, aromatic plants, a lofty palace, a flowing river, ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and abundant clothing, in an eternal abode of radiant joy, in beautiful soundly-constructed high houses”. (Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibbaan)

The Sahabah asked the Prophet about the buildings of Paradise and he replied with a wonderful description:

“Bricks of gold and silver, and mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will never fade.” (Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, ad-Daarimee)

God says:

“And when you look there (in Paradise) you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.” (Quran 76:20)

What God has kept hidden from us the delights of Paradise is beyond our ability to comprehend. The Prophet said that God said:

“I have prepared for My slaves what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart can imagine.” Recite if you wish:

“No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.” (Quran 32:17)

In another report:

“Never mind what God has told you; what He has not told you is even greater.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Une lettre à l'AEEMT et ACMT

Toute personne qui croit fermement qu’il n’y a autre dieu excepté ALLAH, fait parti de l’Etat islamique. Le nationalisme est une source potentielle de division

Pour n’importe quelle communauté. Nous devons nous mettre ensemble pour porter haut la quintessence de l’islam. Pour mon pays, avant tout je m’adresse aux responsables de l’AEEMT s’ils ne le savent pas, qu’aujourd’hui l’unique structure qui peut donner un sens à «Et cramponnez-vous tous ensemble au hable (câble) d’Allah et ne soyez pas divisés » dans mon pays le Togo est bel et bien l’Association des Elèves et Etudiants Musulman au Togo conjointement avec l’Association des Cadres Musulman du Togo ; l’ACMT. Quelqu’un doit prendre le devant pour qu’il ait une bonne organisation des musulmans du Togo. Cela évitera que les pagailles (sur les questions de savoir s’il y’a les terroristes au Togo) de Tsévié ne se reproduisent plus. Moi de mon côté je n’ai plus confiance à l’Union Musulmane du Togo. Car j’ai fini par comprendre que ce sont des gens qui ne travaillent pas pour ALLAH mais plutôt pour leur honneur et qui vendent leur religion pour leurs intérêts égoïstes et matériels.

Au nom d'Allah, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux.

D'après 'Ammar Ibn Yasir (qu'Allah les agrée), le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et son salut soient sur lui) a dit: « Trois personnes ne rentreront jamais au paradis: le dayouth, la femme masculine et l'alcoolique ».
Ils ont dit: Ô Messager d'Allah ! L'alcoolique nous le connaissons mais qu'est-ce que le dayouth ?
Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et son salut soient sur lui) a dit: « C'est celui qui ne prête pas attention à qui rentre auprès de sa famille (1) ».
Ils ont dit: Et qu'est-ce que la femme masculine ?
Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et son salut soient sur lui) a dit: « Celle qui ressemble aux hommes (2) ».
(Rapporté par Tabarani et authentifié par Cheikh Albani dans Sahih Targhib n°2071)

(1) Le mot dayouth a été défini dans le dictionnaire -Lisan Al Arab- comme étant celui qui n'a pas de jalousie vis-à-vis de sa famille. C'est à dire que le dayouth est un homme qui ne ressent pas de jalousie et accepte le mal et les comportements mauvais vis-à-vis des femmes de sa famille.

(2) C'est à dire dans l'habillement, dans la démarche, dans la manière de parler...

According to 'Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased), the Prophet (Allah's prayer and salvation be upon him) said: "Three people will never go to heaven: the dayouth, masculine woman and the alcoholic. "
They said: O Messenger of Allah! The alcoholic we know but what is dayouth?
The Prophet (Allah's prayer and salvation be upon him) said: "The one who does not pay attention to who returns to his family (1)."
They said: And what is the masculine woman?
The Prophet (Allah's prayer and salvation be upon him) said: "Woman who looks like men" (2).
(Narrated by Tabarani and authenticated by Sheikh Albani in Sahih Targheeb No. 2071)

(1) The word dayouth was defined in the -Lisan Al Arab- dictionary as one who has no jealousy vis-à-vis his family,i.e the dayouth is a man who feels no jealousy and accept evil and bad behavior vis-à-vis women in her family.

(2) That is, in clothing, in the manner, in the way spoken...

عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنهما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ثلاثة لا يدخلون الجنة أبدا : الديوث والرجلة من النساء ومدمن الخمر
قالوا : يا رسول الله ! أما مدمن الخمر فقد عرفناه فما الديوث ؟
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الذي لا يبالي من دخل على أهله
قلنا : فما الرجلة من النساء ؟
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : التي تشبه بالرجال
(رواه الطبراني و صححه الشيخ الألباني في صحيح الترغيب و الترهيب رقم ٢٠٧١

The hell Fire : description

by Raiiq Ridwan. (may Allah have mercy upon him)

My fingers tremble and my mind is uneasy as I begin writing. However, it is a reality that the Hellfire exists and it is indeed the logical consequence for those who have sinned against Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala (Glorified is He) and disobeyed His commands.

While those who will die as disbelievers will be in Hell for eternity, even some Muslims will enter Hell for a period of time to be purified of their sins and then entered into paradise, those who pray 5 times per day and persist in committing some sins. Often times we hear brothers and sisters say “Even if we do enter hell, we will eventually go to Paradise insha’Allah (God willingly).” Pondering over this article to follow, I doubt that anyone would want even a millisecond in such a dreadful place!

Hellfire has 7 gates1, and it has been prepared for the wrongdoers. In a hadith (saying of the Prophet) the Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) said that the heat of the Hellfire is multiplied 70 times compared to the fire of this world2. Try dipping a finger into the kitchen stove just once and feel the pain it brings, and then imagine a fire 70 times hotter burning your whole body. Indeed as the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said that after a few moments in Hellfire, all the pleasures of this world we had will be utterly forgotten.3

On the Day of Judgment, Hellfire will be brought by 4.9 billion angels4 and it is as if it is a living being; it howls, coughs, roars up and it breathes, boiling and surging up as it is  trying to tear itself from the angels to attack the people to burn them for their sins.

How will our day be? How will it be when we see the Hellfire for ourselves? How much will we repent and regret that day, on a day where repentance and regret will be of no use; the Hell we laughed off when people reminded us of fearing it, the Hell we were destined to go to with all the sins we committed, and the Hellfire we deserved for being heedless of the warnings of Allah (swt). Let us make it in ourselves to regret and repent today while there is still time. Know that as Muslims we ourselves may fall into hypocrisy and know that the hypocrite will be in the lowest depths of the hellfire.5 The lowest of the fire is so deep that a stone was thrown into the fire and it took 70 years to reach the bottom.6

Hellfire will come that Day determined to take revenge on those whom Allah created and they worshipped others besides Him. Revenge will be taken on those whom Allah provided and yet they were sinful, and upon those whom Allah bestowed His favor and Mercy and they forgot Him, the Most High.

Hellfire will be fueled by people and stones, by the false-gods worshipped and by the disbelievers among the jinn.7

On that fateful Day, Allah will tell our father Adam alayhi salam (peace be on him), “Send forth those who are destined for Hell”, and our father Adam will ask “Who are those?” And Allah (swt) will give a reply that is sure to tear at the hearts of every believer, “Out of every thousand, 999 go to Hell and 1 to paradise.8” Fear Allah! Fear Allah for these numbers!

The food of the people of Hell will be from the tree of Zaqqum, which will boil the intestines like scalding water.9 The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned that if a drop of Zaqqum would have fallen on this Earth, it would ruin every provision on earth. Now, how about those who will have to eat from it?10 The drink of the inhabitants of hell will be boiling water, and a disgusting boiling fluid made of pus and blood.11

Brothers and sisters, by Allah I do not have words to describe this Hell and how horrible its torment can be. How can I describe something which seeks refuge in Allah from itself? How can I describe Hell which has a valley called Gubb Al-Hazan which is so terrible that Hellfire itself seeks refuge from it 100 times a day?12 How can I describe a Hell whose inmates are burned continuously day and night? The least of punishment given to any of its inmates is the wearing of a pair of shoes of fire, which boil the brain13!

The following are some of the categories of people who will enter Hellfire, although there are more:

1. Disbelievers

2. Hypocrites

3. Arrogant Rejecters of truth

4. Sinners and Criminals

5. The Unjust

6. The ones who transgress the limits set by Allah
7. Tyrants

8. Murderers

9. Those who persecute the believers

10. Those who prefer the world and neglect the hereafter

11. Those who commit suicide

12. Everyone who is cruel, proud and arrogant

13. The one who is treacherous

14. The traitor

15. One who has a habit of abusing people and using obscene language

16. The one who doesn’t pray, and also the one who doesn’t pray on time

Hellfire is indeed a horrible destination, and it has an insatiable appetite. As Allah (swt) mentions,

“On the Day We will say to Hellfire, ‘have you been filled?’ it will say, ‘Are there some more?’” (Qur’an, 50:30)

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also adds to this,

“Hell will continue to ask, ‘Is there anything more?’ until Allah, the Exalted, and High will place His foot thereon, Then it will say, ‘Enough, enough, by Your honor,’ and some of its parts will draw close together.’”

For a more vivid, and more referenced description of Hellfire, you can visit the following link where Sister Safa has taken a painstaking duty of compiling all the verses and ahadeeth on Hellfire, http://forums.almaghrib.org/showthread.php?t=26711

May Allah (swt) indeed save ourselves from the Hellfire and may Allah (swt) make us of those who fulfill His command in Surah Tahreem,

”O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded.” (Qur’an 66:6)

I end with a short poem on Hellfire by the renowned scholar of Ibn Al-Jawzi, may Allah have mercy upon him,

A place its inhabitants are banished to,

where they are forbidden from tasting any pleasure,

their cleanliness is changed to blackness on their faces,

and they are beaten by hammers stronger than mountains,

over it are angels, harsh and severe,

if you only saw them.

So their sadness is permanent, no happiness after it, and their state, unchangeable,

they will never leave, living there forever and ever.

Upon it are angels, harsh and severe.

What sadness for them, that the Creator is angry with them!

They are exposed in front of all the people,

they cry over wasting their lives,

and every time they cry the punishment increases!

What happened to their chasing of the dunya!?

What happened to them striving in sins?!

It seems like only a dream…then their bodies are burned, and then healed, then burned. Upon it are angels, harsh and severe……
