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).

:: Hodja meets a tourist ::
Nasreddin Hodja went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and on the way he passed through Medina. As he was walking by the main mosque there, a rather confused-looking tourist approached him.
- Excuse me sir, he said, but you look like a native of these parts; can you tell me something about this mosque? It looks very old and important, but I've lost my guidebook.
Hodja, being too proud to admit that he, too, had no idea what it was, immediately began an enthusiastic explanation
- This is indeed a very old and special mosque. he declared, It was built by Alexander the Great to commemorate his conquest of Arabia.
The tourist was suitably impressed, but presently a look of doubt crossed his face.
- But how can that be? he asked, I'm sure that Alexander was a Greek or something, not a Muslim. . . Wasn't he?
- I can see that you know something of these matters. replied Hodja with chagrin, In fact, Alexander was so impressed at his good fortune in war that he converted to Islam in order to show his gratitude to God.
- Oh, wow. said the tourist, then paused. Hey, but surely there was no such thing as Islam in Alexander's time?
- An excellent point! It is truly gratifying to meet an english man who understands our history so well, answered Hodja. As a matter of fact, he was so overwhelmed by the generosity God had shown him that as soon as the fighting was over he began a new religion, and became the founder of Islam.
The tourist looked at the mosque with new respect, but before Hodja could quietly slip into the passing crowd, another problem occurred to him.
- But wasn't the founder of Islam named Mohammed? I mean, that's what it said in the newspaper; at least I'm sure it wasn't Alexander.
- I can see that you are a scholar of some learning, said Hodja, I was just getting to that. Alexander felt that he could properly dedicate himself to his new life as a prophet only by adopting a new identity. So, he gave up his old name and for the rest of his life called himself Mohammed.
- Really? wondered the tourist, That's amazing! But...but I thought that Alexander the Great lived a long time before Mohammed? Is that right?
- Certainly not! answered Hodja, You're thinking of a different Alexander the Great. I'm talking about the one named Mohammed.
