Définitions des concepts islamiques essentiels
Confiance totale en Allah après avoir pris les moyens nécessaires.

Patience et persévérance face aux difficultés; acceptation du décret d'Allah.
Patience is mentioned in more than 90 Quran verses. 'Allah is with the patient.' (2:153) There are three types: patience in worship, patience from sin, and patience in affliction.
Gratitude envers Allah pour Ses bienfaits, exprimée par le cœur, la langue et l'action.
Allah contrasts grateful and ungrateful by saying: 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you in favor; if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.' (14:7)

Foi; croyance en Allah, les anges, les Écritures, les prophètes, le Jour Dernier et le destin.
The six pillars of Iman are detailed in the Hadith of Jibril. Faith involves belief in the heart, declaration by tongue, and action in the body — all three are interconnected.
Chercher le pardon d'Allah; dire 'Astaghfirullah' avec un repentir sincère.

Ce qui est permis et légal dans l'Islam; nourriture, boissons et actions autorisées.
Halal extends beyond food to encompass all aspects of life: earnings, relationships, business dealings. It is designed to protect human health, social harmony, and spiritual purity.
Ce qui est interdit et prohibé dans l'Islam; actions, nourriture ou boissons strictement prohibées.
In Islam, prohibitions are kept limited while the gate of the permissible is kept wide open. A principle of Islamic jurisprudence states: 'The default for things is permissibility.' Most prohibitions involve harm to health, social relations, or justice.
Supplication à Allah; communication directe de ses besoins, désirs et gratitude à Allah.
The Prophet described dua as 'the essence of worship.' Allah says in the Quran: 'Your Lord said: Call upon Me, I will respond to you.' (40:60) Dua is the most direct form of communication with the Divine, requiring no intermediary.
Repentir sincère et retour à Allah; chercher le pardon pour ses erreurs et péchés.
