Pratiques spéciales & Adab mensuel |
Selon Abou Houreyra
l'Envoyé de Dieu a dit:
... Allah Tout-Puissant dit: Rien de ce qui M’est agréable ne rapproche autant mon serviteur de Moi, que l’accomplissement des
obligations que je lui ai imposées.
Mon serviteur ne cessera de se rapprocher de Moi par des
pratiques surérogatoires jusqu`a ce que je l’aime, et, lorsque je l’aimerai,
je serai l’oreille par laquelle il entendra, le regard par lequel il verra,
la main avec laquelle il empoignera, le pied avec lequel il marchera.
S’il Me sollicite, certes, je lui accorderai Ma faveur,
s’il implore Ma protection, certes, je la lui accorderai› ».
Les pratiques et awrades selon les mois de l'année dans le
calendrier musulmans sont nombreuses et diversifées.
Il est précieux pour le chercheur de s'ateler avec dévotion et ardeur et d'utiliser toutes les faveurs déversée par l'abondance Divine sur les créatures.
Voici quelques unes de ces pratiques parmis les recommandations faites par Mawlana Cheikh Nazim al-Haqqani (q).

:: You can have the five piasters ::
One day the Hodja was having a leisurely walk when all of a sudden he was slapped by somebody from behind on the nape of the neck with so much force that he was nearly knocked down,
- How dare you hit me!, the Hodja raged.
The young man, who was more than a little arrogant, apologized summarily and said he had made a slight error and had mistaken the Hodja for a very good friend of his. He further opined that the Hodja was making a mountain out of a mole hill.
After this obvious slight, nothing less than a trial by court satisfy the Hodja. He insisted upon this and there was no alternative for the offender but to submit.
The Magistrate heard the parties with apparent impartiality, but in fact he was a friend of the offender and all the time he was thinking of how to extricate him from the mess, at the same time mollifying the Hodja.
- Well, my dear Hodja, he said. I understand perfectly well how you feel. Anybody would feel the same under the circumstances. What would you say if I allowed you to slap him yourslef, would you then call it quits?
No! The Hodja wouldn't be satisfied with that. He had been gravely insulted and wanted justice done.
- Well, then. Having duly deliberated the merits of the case, I hereby fine the offender five piasters, to be paid over to the offended party as damages.
He then told the young man to go fetch the five piasters, and the latter departed with alacrity.
The Hodja sat waiting for the young man's return. An hour passed, then two hours, but there was still no sign of the young man. When it was about time for the court to close, he selected the Magistrate's busiest moment and giving him a mighty slap on the nape of the neck, said:
- Sorry I can't wait any longer, your Honour! When that fellow turns up, tell him that i said you are now entitled to the five piasters
