Allahumma, je nourris l’intention de prier sur le Prophète – que la
prière d’Allah et son salut soient sur lui -, obéissant à ton ordre, comme
une confirmation véridique de Ton Prophète Mohammed – que la prière d’Allah
et son salut soient sur lui -, par amour pour lui et en magnifiant sa valeur
et son existence, tant il en est digne. Accepte de moi cette prière, par
effet de Ta générosité et de Ta bonté. Ôte de mon cœur le voile de la
distraction et considère-moi comme un de Tes vertueux serviteurs !
Allahumma, accorde davantage de noblesse à celle que Tu lui a
accordée, davantage d’honneur à celui que Tu lui a donné et une lumière à
celle à partir de laquelle Tu l’as créé !
Élève son degré parmi les Envoyés et son rang parmi les rangs des Prophètes
!
Je Te demande Ton agrément et le sien, Ô Seigneur des univers,
accompagné de la santé (‘âfiyah) perpétuelle et de mourir en étant fermement
« accroché » au Coran, à la pratique prophétique (Sunnah), au
groupe rassemblé (al-jamâ’ah) et aux paroles du témoignage de foi (chahâdah),
selon leur vérité profonde, sans changement ni modification. Pardonne moi
les pêchés que j’ai commis, par un effet de Ta Grâce, de Ta générosité
absolue (jûd) et particulière (karam), Ô le plus
Miséricordieux des miséricordieux.
Que la prière d’Allah et son salut soient sur notre seigneur Mohammed, Sceau
des prophètes et Imam des envoyés, sur sa famille et tous ses Compagnons.
Que la paix soit sur les Envoyés et louange à Allah, Seigneur des univers.
Allah nous envoie quelqu’un pour Le représenter, Lui et Sa Gloire, Son Pouvoir, Son Amour, Sa Beauté, Son Savoir et Sa Sagesse infinie.Je ne dis pas que ces représentants sont une représentation entière… peut-être seulement un atome.
In olden times some learned men would travel around extensively in search of facts or ideas to support their newly-formed theories. Three such men one day arrived in Aksehir, and calling on the governor, asked him to request the most learned man of the district to be present at the market place the next day, so that they would see whether they could profit by his ideas.
As the most learned man of Aksehir Nasreddin Hoca was duly informed and the next day he was there and ready for, what proved to be, a battle of wits.
Quite a crowd had gathered for the occasion.
One the learned men stepped forward and put the following question to the Hoca:
"Could you tell us the exact location of the centre of the world?"
"Yes, I can," replied the Hoca. "It is just under the left hind of my donkey."
"Well, maybe! But do you have any proof?"
"If you doubt my word, just measure and see."
There was nothing more to be said, so the learned man withdrew.
"Let me ask you this," said the second learned man, stepping forward.
"Can you tell us how many stars there are in the heavens?"
"As many as the hairs on my donkey's mane," was the ready reply.
"What proof have you in support of this statement?"
"If you doubt my word, you can count and find out."
"Come now, Hoca Effendi!" admonished the second learned man. "How can anyone count the hairs on your donkey's mane?"
"Well, when it comes to that, how can anyone count the stars in the skies?"
This silenced the second learned man, upon whose withdrawal the third one stepped forward.
"Since you seem so well acquainted with your donkey," said he sarcastically,
"can you tell us how many hairs there are on the tail of the beast?"
"Certainly," replied the Hoca, "as many as the hairs in your beard."
"And how can you prove that?"
"Very easily, if you have no objection! I can pull one hair from your beard for each hair you can pull out of my donkey's tail. If both hairs are not exhausted at the same time, then I will admit to have been mistaken."
Needless to say the third learned man had no desire to try the experiment, and the Hoca was cheered and hailed as the champion of the day's encounter.
