Looking at the world

Disease. How to define it? How can we understand its meaning within the Natural order and in our lives? What lessons can we learn from it?

Mysticism is essential in all the spiritual traditions, and especially in Islam with Sufism. We study here its definition, its objectives, as well as the means, the obstacles and the conditions for the realization of this quest for the invisible, the soul and the Divine. It takes faith, patience, humility, and a lot of love. Tariq Ramadan

Suffering is a central and complex notion. What is its source, what is its meaning? Should we live with it, should we refuse it or should we go beyond it? Five fundamental teachings.

The notion of pilgrimage inhabits all spiritual and religious traditions. It invites us to recognize the sacredness of life and nature and opposes this truncated idea of ​​secularization, consecrating the desacralization of the world, and our loss. Tariq Ramadan

Participatory solidarity: Being open to the world means first thinking about your neighbor, the animals around us and nature. Provide the good with the heart and demand the right with conscience. The local counter-power opposes any defeatism. You can not change everything, so change what you can. Tariq Ramadan

To give. From what we have, from who we are. Like a tree whose fruit is the gift, the trunk is consciousness, the roots is faith and the sap is love. Tariq Ramadan

Patience is a virtue. Facing the tests or when achieving our projects, patience marries wisdom and meaning. The meaning of wisdom which invites us as well to expect the unexpected. Tariq Ramadan

Freedom and liberation: the ultimate end is peace, which requires to accept, to understand and to act.

Freedom is a complex and demanding notion. It is an ideal never completely reached and it requires, first, to liberate ourself from the illusions of freedom.

To communicate. To find your words, to seek your language. A life lasting quest

To learn : the value of one day is measured by our capacity to learn, even from the most insignificant things, apparently. Tariq Ramadan
