Leçon 65: Lord's Provision
- Details
Saba (Sheba) Chapter 34: Verse 39 (partial)
"Say: Verily, my Lord grants provision abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and straitens it for whomsoever He pleases."
The extent of livelihood that a person receives depends entirely upon God's will. However, this does not necessarily indicate that those with whom He is pleased receive a greater portion of it whereas those with whom He is displeased receive less. As part of God's dispensation, those who believe in God as well as those who do not believe in Him receive their livelihood. A person's affluence, therefore, does not indicate his proximity with God. By the same token, a person's stringent circumstances do not necessarily indicate God's displeasure with him. It is common knowledge that wrongdoers and dishonest people often amass heaps of wealth even though God disapproves of their wrong-doing and dishonesty.
Entrons en islam complètement...

Par Abu Abdallah
Allah (swt) nous dit que parmi les gens, il y a ceux qui donnent tout pour chercher Son Plaisir. Ceux qui portent la foi sont appelés à entrer en islam complètement. Et de ne pas suivre ce qui est mal. Voilà le message du dernier Envoyé (saw), un rappel à l’humanité entière, qui s’étend jusqu’au Jour dernier.
Maintenant et ici. Peut-on vivre l’islam totalement ou devons-nous nous en séparer d’une partie? Pouvons nous appliquer l’islam dans tous les aspects de notre vie ? Faut-il s’isoler du reste du monde contemporain pour entrer pleinement en islam ?

"I began to see Islam with its own eyes, as the unadulterated, pristine belief in the one and only, the true God, Who does not beget, and was not begotten, Whom nothing and nobody resembles... In place of the qualified deism of a tribal God and the constructions of a divine Trinity, the Qur'an showed me the most lucid, most straightforward, the most abstract - thus historically most advanced – and least anthropomorphic concept of God. The Qur'an's ontological statements, as well as its ethical teachings, impressed me as profoundly plausible, "as good as gold," so there was no room for even the slightest doubt about the authenticity of Muhammad's prophetic mission. People who understand human nature cannot fail to appreciate the infinite wisdom of the "Dos and Don'ts" handed down from God to man in the form of the Qur'an."
Blue Economy: the need to patrol the ocean
- Details
by Assad Bhuglah
Blessed with a vast maritime zone of 2.3 million km², Mauritius has now expanded its ocean territory by signing an agreement with Seychelles for exercising joint jurisdiction over an additional area of 396,000 km² of the continental shelf of the Mascarene Plateau region. The two countries are determined to harness the power of the blue economy with a view to enhance the economic, social and cultural well-being of the present and future generations. Given that 99% of the ocean remains unprotected according to a Greenpeace source, the nations that have sovereign rights over the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) must undertake constant patrol to exercise their authority and take effective possession of the territorial sea.
