Legacy of Resentment
When it comes to complaining, we never get tired of it. We see only enemies around, who are out to destroy Islam, plunder our wealth, snatch away our genius, impose wars on us and then send us the contractors for reconstruction to bill us immensely. Share any session with Muslim youth, writers or intellectuals, the […]
Ambition in life
Remember the long hours we would spend when we were young fantasizing about what we wanted to ‘become’ when we were older? We weren’t even in our teens when our parents and their friends and our teachers already began asking us what our ‘ambition in life’ was. Inevitably, we learnt from them to define what […]
Integrate Learning and Culture
Education is a composite system that cannot be delinked from society. If we wish to transform the education we must look at the society and integrate our culture and learning to compete with the rest of the world. There are a few fundamentals to understand: There is no tension between science and Islam as it […]
Develop a Culture of Muslim Unity
Intolerance among the Muslims has reached an unbearable level. A mere variation in the interpretation of A hadith or Quranic verses, ignites a never ending discussion. Lately, on Facebook, futile discussions were going on, whether to celebrate MILAAD or not. While so doing, the main messages and commands of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) were sent to […]
Break-up of family life
The family is the community in microcosm. It is the root from which nations grow. It is the basic unit of society; its climate must be love and its soil adorn. In it human life begins and ends! It must be happy, a citadel of heart-warming peace and quiet, where affection reigns, which runs on […]
TARIQ RAMADAN: Pourquoi lui?
Si j’étais le diable, je m’intéresserais à Tariq Ramadan. Depuis plus de vingt ans, rien ne l’arrête. Partout, il invite à Dieu, même lorsqu’il ne mentionne pas le divin. Et il y ajoute nécessairement le devoir de servir l’humanité, tous les enfants d’Adam. Il exhorte au respect des parents, de la femme, et de la […]
Déconstruire au lieu de détruire
The universe is going towards disorder. It is a law of nature. Should we therefore despair? No, unless we accelerate this march by destroying. And destroying us. The paradox is that it is by wanting to build… that we become the worst destroyers. We have confused our responsibility to deconstruct, in order to build better, […]
L’Islam, Les Musulmans Et Le Fléau De La Drogue À Maurice
How is it that the drug problem in Mauritius afflicts the Muslim community so much? It is not that she is the only victim, because the reality is that no one is spared. But it is abnormal, here as elsewhere in the world, that so many Muslims fall into this scoop when Islam prohibits drug […]
C’est quoi un musulman ?
Qui est musulman, on le sait. Mais c’est quoi un musulman ? La question a le mérite d’être posée. Encore et encore. A chaque instant de notre vie. A soi-même, d’abord. Ici et maintenant, dans notre quotidien. Egalement dans tous les sphères de la vie, du business à la politique en passant par la culture […]
Vie publique, Vie privée
Does the end justify the means? A man reported to Omar, who had become a leader of the Muslims, that his neighbor was engaging in illicit acts. Omar asked him for proof. The man admitted that he spied on his neighbour, even spying on him at night inside his house. Omar did nothing against the […]
