Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

My Letter to the World: Free Palestine !


Today I got called an extremist. An extremist because I believe the fight for justice in Palestine, is a just one. More than that – a necessary. If you had your land, livelihood and history stolen, your family massacred, your body skilfully powdered with white phosphorous and you died a torturous death without trial because you dared to resist – wallah, I’d fight for you too. Why? Humanity demands it off me: off all humans. You are no exception. If I stay silent, if we stay silent in the face of oppression, dispossession or occupation than we diminish our humanity. If something lessens your worth as a human being, then it lessens mine too. To act in your defence, is really to act in defence of myself.

Today I got called an extremist. An extremist because I believe in the self-determination and the Right to Return of all Palestinian people. I believe in a one-state solution, to live side by side, in understanding and respect. I am an advocate for peace. You call me an extremist but you forget you are the terrorist. You attempt to steal my land by building a 670km Iron Wall – if you must, because you are scared of me (although you have one of the most powerful armies and all I have is this pen), then you must; but not, not on my land, not when 85% of your wall is on my land. On second thought, your whole country is on my land but I have kept silent. I have kept silent when you destroy my farmland and contaminate my water. I have kept silent when you encircle and strangulate me with a wall that costs $2.1 billion to build; money that you could give to the education of Palestinian children – but no you deny that to us too. Deny our freedom. You have imprisoned my body but never, never my mind and soul – still I keep silent. You can silence me. You can silence the world. You can never silence Justice.




I am the extremist? Then my friend, you are the terrorist. Your hands are stained with the blood of Deir yassin, Homeen Al Tahta, Jabalia – massacres. Cast Lead – War on Gaza? No my friend, Massacre of Gaza. In 22 days you murdered 1500 Palestinians. In 22 days you sent me gifts of DIME explosives, fuel air explosives and oh, how can I forget, white phosphorous? How can I forget when it stains the pure and innocent body of my daughter? How can I forgive when I cannot forget? I do not forget the ground constantly shaking with the bombardment of your gifts; it felt like hunting season had begun. Were you satisfied with your catch? 400 Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed, 25 cement factories destroyed, 250 000 tonnes of rubble, the only flour mill in Gaza destroyed (I loved khubz in the morning), 400 children dead and my friend, every plane returned – untouched, my gift to you, Israel. You are the terrorist; the one who glorifies and relishes in violence, the one who smiles when a new settlement is built and the one who violates International Law with unrelenting and shameful persistence. Remember occupation is violence, dispossession is violence but the greatest violence is to take away my right to resist violence. Remember Israel.

If I am not Jewish, am I inferior?
If I am anti-Zionism, will you quote me as anti-Semitic?
If I am Palestinian, does that make me non-human?


I am isolated. Separated. Apart.


Being human is not only about respect but also to be able to see past narrow interests, and to understand how as humans we are linked together. But when you cut me off from my country, when apartness becomes dogma and ideology, when apartness is enforced through law and its agencies; this is called Apartheid. When you are privileged because you are born a Jew and you use this to dispossess and discriminate against me; this is called Apartheid. This apartness only becomes a breeding ground for ignorance of the other, with whom one shares a common space. A breeding ground for the Zionist idea of Israel – the ingathering of all Jews, the idea seems to me to get rid of the old neighbours and to bring in new ones. Ethnic cleansing.




“Have our Jewish sisters and brothers forgotten their humiliation?”

The world was absolutely wrong to think that Nazism was defeated in 1945. Nazism has won because it has finally managed to Nazify the consciousness of its own victims.

But now, I am the victim.

Signed,

Free Palestine

“Fear Allah Where ever You Are”




Abû Dharr al-Ghifârî and Mu`âdh b, Jabal relate that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Fear Allah wherever you are. Follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will blot it out. And deal with people in a good manner.” [ Sunan al-Tirmidhî ]

The importance of this hadith:


Ibn Rajab says: “This is powerful advice, bringing together the rights of Allah and the rights of His servants.”

The fear of Allah

The Arabic word for the “fear of Allah” is taqwâ . It comes from the root word meaning “to protect from something, to prevent”. Indeed, a person exhibits the fear of Allah by seeking to prevent Allah's punishment by carrying out what Allah has commanded of him and abstaining from what Allah has prohibited him.

Allah had called upon all people in every era to fear Him. Allah says: “And We had enjoined upon those who were given the Scripture before – as well as yourselves – to fear Allah.” [ Sûrah al-Nisâ' : 131]

It is Allah's right over His servants that they fear Him as He ought to be feared. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He ought to be feared and do not die except as believers.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 102]

Ibn Mas`ûd explained what it means to fear Allah as He ought to be feared by saying: “It means that He is to be obeyed not disobeyed, remembered not forgotten, and shown gratitude not ingratitude.”

The fear of Allah is the path to forgiveness, salvation, and the attainment of Allah's mercy. Allah says:

“Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good.” [ Sûrah al-Nahl : 128]

“And My mercy encompasses all things, and I shall decree it for those who fear Me.” [ Sûrah al-A`râf : 156]

“He is worthy of being feared and worthy of granting forgiveness.” [ Sûrah al-Muddaththir : 56]

“And whoever fears Allah – He will pardon him his sins and grant him a great reward.” [ Sûrah al-Talâq : 5]

“Indeed, those who fear Allah will be among gardens and rivers, in a seat of truth near an All-Powerful Sovereign.” [ Sûrah al-Qamar : 54-55]

Allah promises those who fear Him that He will provide for their needs and grant them a way out of their worldly difficulties. Allah says: “And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out, and provide for him from whence he could never imagine.” [ Sûrah al-Talâq : 2-3]

This is Allah's promise. We should draw strength from it when we are tried in life with difficulties that tempt us to resort to what Allah has forbidden.

The relationship between knowledge and the fear of Allah


Allah says: “It is only those who have knowledge among Allah's servants who fear Him.” [ Sûrah Fâtir : 28]

There are two ways in which knowledge and the fear of Allah are related. The first is that true fear of Allah comes about as the result of having proper knowledge of Allah and His perfect attributes.

Ibn `Abbâs said about this verse: “They are those who know that Allah is capable of all things.”

He also said: “The verse means: The only people who fear me are those who know my power, my might, and my dominion.”

Ibn Kathîr says in his commentary of this verse: “The only people who fear Allah in the true sense are those who are knowledgeable about Allah. This is because the more knowledge a person has about the Almighty, the All-Powerful and All-Knowing, who possesses the attributes of perfection and the best of names – the more perfect and complete this knowledge is – the greater and more total his fear of Allah will be.” [ Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr ]

The second way that the fear of Allah and knowledge are related stems from the fact that the fear of Allah is to seek to prevent Allah's punishment by carrying out Allah's commands and abstaining from His prohibitions. Consequently, a Muslim needs to have knowledge of these matters in order to fear Allah properly. An ignorant Muslim may have a sense of fear, but he will not be able to fully carry out what that fear requires of him.

Ibn `Abbâs said: “To have knowledge of the Most Merciful is to be someone who associates nothing as a partner with Him, who deems lawful what He has made lawful, who prohibits what He has prohibited, who preserves what He has enjoined upon him, and who has certainty that he shall meet Him and that his actions will be accounted for.”



Follow up a bad deed with a good deed

The Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us that the performing a good deed wipes away the sin incurred from perpetrating an evil one. Scholars have disagreed whether the “good deed” being referred to here refers specifically to the context of repentance or whether it is general for all good works.

The strongest view is that all good deeds can wipe away evil deeds. Allah says: “And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who take heed.” [ Sûrah Hûd : 114]

A man once came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him that he had contact with a woman like a husband has with his wife, except that he did not go so far as to fornicate with her. This man had just prayed the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Have you prayed with us the Fajr prayer?” When he replied that he had, the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited: “Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî (526) and Sahîh Muslim (2763)]

However, a believer should always repent for his sins. Allah says: “And those, who when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who forgives sins except Allah – and then do not knowingly persist in what they have done, for them is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide forever. How great is the reward for those who work righteousness.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 135]

A believer should follow up his sincere repentance with the performance of good works. This is what Allah wants from us. He says: “Indeed, I am Most Forgiving to whomever repents, believes, and works righteous deeds and then continues upon guidance.” [ Sûrah TâHâ : 82]

Allah also tells us: “Except for those who repent, believe, and work righteous deeds. For those, Allah will change their evil deeds into good deeds, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [ Sûrah al-Furqân : 70] This is especially true for major sins. A Muslim must never leave a major sin to go without repentance, for Allah's promise of forgiveness is for those who turn to Him in sincere repentance. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “A servant, if he acknowledges his sin and then repents, Allah will forgive him.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî (4141) and Sahîh Muslim (2770)]

And deal with people in a good manner


Allah tells us repeatedly in the Qur'ân to observe good manners in our dealings with others. He says: “Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away from those who are ignorant.” [ Sûrah al-A`râf : 199]

Allah says: “Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better. Then he between whom and you there had been hatred will become as though he were your dear friend.” [ Sûrah Fussilat : 34]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) is the perfect example of what it means to possess good manners. Allah says, describing him: “Indeed you are of a great moral character.” [ Sûrah al-Qalam : 4]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized how good manners are of paramount importance in Islam when he said: “I was sent only to perfect good manners.” [ Musnad Ahmad (8952)]

Indeed, he tells us that good manners are part of faith. He said: “The believers with the most complete faith are those who have the best manners.” [ Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1162) and Sunan Abî Dâwûd (4682)]

Among the good manners that we should cultivate is to be sensible in our dealings with others and not to react hastily when they do that which displeases us. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Ashajj `Abd Qays: “You possess within yourself two qualities that Allah loves: discernment and forbearance.” [ Sahîh Muslim (17)]

Pencil and Eraser



PENCIL
I’m sorry

ERASER
For what? You didn’t do anything wrong.

PENCIL
I’m sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you’re always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

ERASER
That’s true. But I don’t really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I’ll be gone and you’ll replace me with a new one, I’m actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They’re always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I’ve been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I will be left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

Once a person asked the Prophet:

“Who deserves the best care from Me?”

The Prophet replied:

“Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, and then your Father..”

(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

••• An Incident which will make you SMILE •••

One hot day, an old man was relaxing under the shade of a walnut tree. Admiring the tree, he started wondering why the huge pumpkins grew on vines and the small walnuts grew on a majestic tree.



"Sometimes I just don't understand the ways of ALLAH!" He mused. why did He make tiny walnuts grow on such a majestic tree and huge pumpkins on delicate vines!

Just then a walnut snapped off and fell on the man's bald head.

"Ouch!" he moaned with pain. He got up at once, raised his hands and said:

"O Allah! Forgive me when I whine and question your wisdom!

You are All- Wise...What would have happened to me now, if pumpkins grew on trees?!"


Moral ♥ : Never question the wisdom of Allah Subhan wa Ta'ala for He is Al-Hakeem, the All-Wise...the best of Planners.

••• THE ROSE WITHIN •••



A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought,

“ How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?” Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The good qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the “rose” within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

Wise Advice ♥ : The most favorable friend to me is that who shows me my flaws.

••• Which One You Are •••



Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it.

She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing
After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Turning to her, he asked. "Daughter, what do you see?" "Potatoes, eggs and coffee," she hastily replied.

"Look closer", he said, "and touch the potatoes." She did and noted that they were soft.

He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

"Father, what does this mean?" she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity-the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

"Which one are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Which one are you? When problems come (and they will) how will we react? Will they make us weak, hard hearted or will they cause us to change into something worthwhile?

Love and Affection All Around!


Allaah subhaan’nahu wa’ta’aala says:

إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات سيجعل لهم الرحمن ودّا

“Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.”[Surat Maryam 19:96]

Mujahid (scholar of tafseer, student of Ibn Abbas) said in explanation of this verse:

“Allaah loves them and makes them loved to His believing slaves” ¹

Imam Sa’aadi (rahimahullaah) said in explanation of this verse:

“This is from His blessings upon his slaves. The ones who combine between emaan and good deeds, that he promises to make for them affection: meaning love and affection (for them) in the hearts of His awliyaa, and those of the heavens and earth. And if there is affection in those hearts for them, then many of their affairs become easy, good things happen to them, supplications, guidance, acceptence and positions of authority.“ ²

The Day and Night are a Tremendous Bounty


Commenting on the aayah:

وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ‌ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَ‌ادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ‌ أَوْ أَرَ‌ادَ شُكُورً‌ا

«And He is the One who made the night and day to follow each other in succession, for whoever wants to be reminded of Allaah or whoever wants to give thanks for Allaah’s favors.» [Sooratul-Furqaan (25):62]

Shaykh Fawzaan (hafizahullaah) said:

So the night and the day are a tremendous bounty to be earned for a person who utilizes them in obedience to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. The arena for action is the night and the day. You have nothing else besides the night and the day. They are the arena for action, for good, and for pure earning for this world and the Hereafter. So, in the night and in the day, there are lessons and fawaa`id (benefits). Therefore, Allaah swore an oath by al-`Asr.

quote for june :)


Al-Fudayl bin Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:

لا يبلغ العبد حقيقة الإيمان حتى يعد البلاء نعمة والرخاء مصيبة وحتى لا يحب أن يحمد على عبادة الله

“A servant does not reach (taste, acquire) the reality of eemaan until he considers tribulation (calamity) to be a blessing and comfort (opulence) to be a calamity, and until he loves not that he should be praised for worship of Allaah.”

Le jeûne : défenseur discret !


Si vous vous sentez mal, je vous recommande pour vaincre vos malheurs de jeûner, …….

Plus on médite les paroles de notre prophète, saut et paix sur Lui, plus on se rend compte du caractère miraculeux de son message ; voyons donc ce que les savants de nos jours ont découvert des secrets du jeûne, et ce que la tradition prophétique nous en a révélé.

En consultant les sites médicaux et thérapeutiques, j’ai trouvé nombreux ceux qui recommandent le jeûne pour soigner beaucoup de maladies. Ils font tout pour sensibiliser car cette « technique » est peu coûteuse, mais très efficace ! Ainsi, me suis-je rendu compte de la miséricorde d’Allah qui nous a ordonné de jeûner le mois de Ramadhan, en en faisant un acte d’adoration propre à Lui, digne de récompense.

L’importance de cet acte d’adoration fut mise en relief par notre prophète bien aimé, salut et paix sur Lui, en le comparant à un bouclier qui protège le combattant, il dit : « le jeûne est une protection », hadith rapporté par Muslim. On se demande alors : à quels dangers et ennemis le jeûne fait-il face ?

Les scientifiques affirment que le danger le plus grave qui nous guète est représenté par le toxines qui s’accumulent dans nos cellules en influençant très mal sur ses activités. Ces toxines sont difficiles à traiter, et avec le temps causent la vieillesse précoce.

L’air pollué, la nourriture mal lavée, l’eau contaminée, même les téléphones portables ; tous ensemble nous font consommer de ces toxines environ 500 cm3 /jour.

Le corps a une grande capacité à absorber et traiter ces toxines, mais quand elles dépassent une certaine limite, elles accablent l’organisme et causent les maladies.

Malgré les efforts et les recherches visant à en finir avec ces toxines, les scientifiques confirment que le jeûne est le meilleur moyen. Car l’accumulation de ces substances fatigue l’organisme, tandis que le jeûne aide à s’en débarrasser discrètement sans effets secondaires.

Le jeûne a des bienfaits considérables sur les cellules de notre corps ; il s’agit, sans exagération, d’une manière efficace pour se protéger contre les maladies, les virus et les bactéries. Vous serez peut-être étonné, cher lecteur, si vous savez qu’en Occident, des centres hospitaliers traitent leurs patients uniquement par le jeûne. Certains de ces cas étaient désespérés, mais ont retrouvé une bonne santé dans un temps record !

Exalté soit le Bon dieu ! Il nous a épargné de tous ces ennuis et dépenses en nous ordonnant de jeûner et de nous préservant une grande récompense ; Il a même désigné au paradis une porte spéciale pour les jeûneurs !

Parmi les bienfaits du jeûne, on cite son influence sur le système immunitaire qui joue le rôle d’un soldat pour nous protéger contre les virus, les bactéries et les anticorps. Le jeûne améliore la performance de ce soldat ; il aurait alors la vertu d’un vrai défenseur de notre organisme.

L’obésité est devenue le mal du siècle ; le nombre des obèses s’accroît sans cesse. Ceux-ci sont exposés aux crises de santé. L’obésité devient ainsi un ennemi déclaré pour l’homme. Les effets bénéfiques du jeûne sont incontestables face à ce mal.

Les troubles psychologiques sont répandues à nos jours et pourraient détruire notre organisme. Or, des études ont prouvé que le jeûne aide à traiter ces troubles car il réduit l’activité excessive des centres nerveux : voilà donc une bonne méthode pour en finir avec tous ses soucis !

Cher lecteur, avez-vous déjà cherché à développer vos facultés et créativité ? C’est le jeûne, le meilleur moyen pour activer et améliorer la performance vos neurones, ce qui vous aide à mieux vous maîtriser.

La liste des maladies qui pourraient être traitées par le jeûne est bien longue, plus les études avancent, plus elles nous en révèlent un autre bienfait. J’ai pourtant essayé de vous énumérer certains de ces maux traitables par le jeûne : la vieillesse, le rhumatisme, l’hypertension… ainsi, comprenons-nous mieux le hadith « le jeûne est une protection » ; il nous protège contre les maladies ici-bas, et contre l’enfer à l’au-delà.

Mes frères, mes sœurs : si vous vous sentez mal, je vous recommande pour vaincre vos malheurs de jeûner, de couper votre jeûne avec les dattes, de lire et d’écouter attentivement le Saint Coran ; ce sera le traitement idéal de oute sorte de maladie !

Le miracle du chiffre 13 dans le Coran


Le chiffre 13 représentait un miracle étonnant dans le Livre d’Allah le Très-Haut puisque la hijra (la migration de notre Prophète de Makka (La Mecque) à Madîna (Médine)) a eu lieu en l’an treize (13), lisons ensemble…….
L’an treize (13)

La migration du Noble Prophète (Paix et Bénédiction d’Allah soient sur lui) de Makka à Madîna pourrait être des plus importants évènements dans l’histoire de l’Islam. Cette migration a eu lieu en l’an treize (13) après son envoi (Paix et Bénédiction d’Allah soient sur lui).

Le Noble Prophète (Paix et Bénédiction d’Allah soient sur lui) est né en l’année de l’éléphant (dite en arabe ’Âm Al-Fîl). Son parcours de prophétie et révélation a débuté à l’âge de quarante (40) ans et c’est durant cette année que les premiers versets du Noble Coran furent descendus sur Lui.

Le Coran mecquois a été révélé durant les treize (13) années de prédication à La Mecque. Ensuite, en l’an treize (13), le Noble Prophète (Paix et Bénédiction d’Allah soient sur lui) a émigré à Médine et sa prédication a duré dix (10) ans. Il meurt à l’âge de soixante trois (63) ans.

Allah l’Exalté a fait descendre un verset pour consoler le Noble Prophète sur son chemin vers Médine : ’’Et que de cités, bien plus fortes que ta cité qui t'a expulsé, avons-Nous fait périr, et ils n'eurent point de secoureur.’’ (Mohammad : 13). Ce qui m’a réellement marqué est que ce verset a été descendu en l’an treize (13) et qu’il est également classé treizième (13ème) dans la Sourate de Mohammad !

Dès lors, je me suis rendu compte que ce chiffre ne peut qu’être un miracle divin. En effet, Allah l’Exalté ne choisit pas un chiffre pour un tel évènement remarquable que pour un sens bon et un but précis. Par conséquent, nous allons approcher certaines réalités numériques surprenantes sur ce chiffre et ses multiples dans le Noble Coran.



Première et dernière Sourates dans le Coran

Nous constatons en examinant le Livre d’Allah l’Exalté, qu’une partie a été révélée à La Mecque, dite mecquoise et l’autre à Médine, dite médinoise. Cependant, en méditant la première Sourate ‘’Al-Fatiha’’ (le Prologue) et la dernière ‘’An-Nas’’ (Les hommes), toutes deux descendues à La Mecque, j’ai trouvé dans les versets et mots de ces deux dites Sourates une telle cohérence attractive, en effet, le nombre des versets de la Sourate ‘’Al-Fatiha’’ est de sept (7) et celui de la Sourate ‘’An-Nas’’ est de six (6), ce qui nous donne treize (13) en les additionnant, donc :

7 + 6 = 13

Mais qu’en est-il donc des mots de ces deux Sourates ? En précisant que nous compterons les conjonctions de coordination ‘’et’’ comme un mot indépendant au cours de nos études sur le miracle numérique ! Le nombre des mots de la Sourate ‘’Al-Fatiha’’ est de trente-et-un (31) et celui de la dernière Sourate qui est (An-Nas) est de vingt-et-un (21), ainsi, le nombre résultant de l’addition de ces deux nombres est également un multiple du chiffre treize (13), donc :

31 + 21 = 52 = 13 x 4

Par ailleurs, le dernier verset dans le Coran ‘’Mina Al-Jinnati wan-Nâs’’ (An-Nas (Les hommes) : 9) ("qu'il (le conseiller) soit un djinn, ou un être humain." ) contient ‘’treize’’ lettres [en arabe].



Les lettres détachées

D’aucuns Sourates coraniques ont débuté par des lettres détachées dont la première Sourate ‘’Al-Baqarah’’ (La Vache) qui commence par ‘’ALM’’ de l’arabe ‘’Alif Lam Mîm’’ et la dernière qui est sourate ‘’Al-Qalam’’ (la plume) commençant par ‘’N’’ de l’arabe ‘’Noûn’’.

Encore une fois, ce qui nous émerveille est que Sourate Al-Baqarah contient deux cent quatre-vingt-six (286) versets. Ce nombre est divisible par treize (13), comme suit :

286 = 13 x 22

En outre, Sourate Al-Qalam comporte cinquante-deux (52) versets qui est un multiple de treize (13).

52 = 13 x 4

Le plus surprenant est que le nombre doublement multiple de treize (13), résultant de l’addition des deux dits chiffres, ainsi :

286 + 52 = 338 = 13 x 13 x 2

Maintenant, si nous considérons le nombre des versets des vingt-neuf (29) Sourates débutant par des lettres détachées, qui est de 2743, nous constatons qu’il est un multiple de treize (13), à savoir :

2743 = 13 x 211



De ce qui précède, nous pouvons résumer que, le nombre des versets des Sourates contenant les lettres détachées est un multiple de ‘’treize’’ (13) et que le nombre des versets de la première ainsi que la dernière de ces Sourates est également un multiple de treize (13).

D’ajouter, le nombre de toutes les lettres détachées dans le Coran qui est de soixante-dix-huit (78) est divisible par treize (13).

78 = 13 x 6

Pour conclure, trois chiffres symbolisent les évènements importants de la vie du Noble Prophète (Paix et Bénédiction d’Allah soient sur Lui), à savoir :

1- L’envoi : à l’âge de quarante (40) ans ;

2- La migration : à l’âge de cinquante-trois (53) ans ;

3- Le décès : à l’âge de soixante-trois (63) ans.

L’addition de ces trois chiffres nous donne ce qui suit :

40 + 53 + 63 = 156 = 13 x 12



Nous prions Allah l’Exalté que ces vérités sur le miracle phénoménal de ce chiffre permettent de guider tous ceux qui doutent de ce Noble Livre, et la fin de notre invocation est louange à Allah, Seigneur de l'Univers.
