Just a few musings from Razi as we reload for next week.

En Tunisie, le mausolée de Saïda Manoubia, une sainte ayant vécu à Tunis au XIIᵉ siècle, attire de nombreux Tunisiens. Sa proximité avec l'hôpital Razi, un hôpital psychiatrique, en fait un lieu d'accueil et un refuge pour tous. Même si peu de Tunisiens connaissent l'histoire de cette sainte, révolutionnaire pour son époque, son aura et les rituels qui l'entourent la démarquent dans le monde du soufisme, à grande majorité masculine. De notre correspondante à Tunis,Chaque dimanche, le mausolée de Saïda Manoubia à la Manouba, en banlieue ouest de Tunis, prend vie. Les rituels et les chants autour de la sainte font partie du culte. Ses fidèles, de tous âges et issus de toutes les classes sociales, en majorité des femmes, viennent assister au spectacle. « Je viens chaque mois, pour me recueillir, mais aussi pour me défouler, confie Ahlem, 30 ans. Les chants et la danse m'apaisent beaucoup. »D'autres viennent pour demander à la sainte sa bénédiction et se recueillir sur sa tombe, comme Latifa, 65 ans : « On vient depuis qu'on est enfant ici, c'est une tradition ancienne. Il n'y a pas que des gens de la capitale, il y a aussi des gens qui viennent d'autres régions. Là, on met du henné sur nos mains, cela va avec le rituel, décrit-elle. C'est pour célébrer la sainte et aussi souhaiter la réussite aux jeunes femmes qui vont se marier. Les fidèles de Saïda Manoubia, les plus aisés, font ainsi don de nourriture et d'argent pour les plus pauvres qui viennent s'y recueillir. »À écouter dans Religions du mondeLe patrimoine spirituel féminin de l'islam« Saïda Manoubia représente l'exception au féminin »En Tunisie, la religion majoritaire est l'islam et le soufisme, un courant mystique, fait partie de la culture depuis des siècles. Plus d'un millier de mausolées existe dans le pays, mais rares sont ceux dédiés à des saintes. Saïda Manoubia est l'une des plus connues, car son hagiographie a été écrite par un imam avant d'être traduite par l'historienne Nelly Amri. « Saïda Manoubia représente l'exception au féminin, parce que c'est une fille qui s'est rebellée contre son environnement, on parle du Moyen Âge, qui n'a pas voulu se marier », indique Rym Lajmi, enseignante à l'université de la Manouba, qui a écrit plusieurs articles sur la sainteD'après son histoire, Saïda Manoubia aurait ainsi suivi des cours de jurisprudence islamique chez des disciples masculins et aurait même prié à la mosquée Zitouna, un acte révolutionnaire dans le monde musulman du 12ᵉ siècle. Son parcours, inédit pour une femme à l'époque, alimente beaucoup de légendes. « C'est une sainte qui tenait toujours une canne avec laquelle elle frappait le sol, pour représenter le pouvoir, poursuit Rym Lajmi, et qui commandait les hommes sur la terre et les esprits également. »Le mausolée a été incendié, comme une trentaine d'autres, après la révolution de 2011, par des extrémistes religieux. Aujourd'hui restauré, il reste un refuge pour tous et surtout les plus marginalisés sur le plan social.À lire aussiTunisie: archives des prisonniers nord-africains de la Première Guerre mondiale

“Biz onları (kadınları) yepyeni bir yaratılışta yarattık.” Vakia 35 “Onları bâkireler yaptık.” “Kocalarına âşık yaşıtlar yaptık” “Bütün bunlar sağdakiler içindir.” Vakia 38 Allah, iki ruh yarattı. Birini dumanın içine koydu ve ona "Cin" dedi. Diğerini toprağın içine koydu ve ona "İnsan" dedi. Her ikisini de sınav etmeye devam ediyor... Abdullah b. Mes'ûd hazretleri şöyle demiştir: İyi olsun, kötü olsun, herkes için ölüm hayırlıdır. Çünkü, eğer insan iyi ise Yüce Allah böyleleri hakkında şöyle buyurmuştur: "Allah katındaki ni'metler, iyiler için daha hayırlıdır.” (Âl-i İmrân - 198) Eğer söz konusu olan kötü bir kimse ise, Yüce Allah böyleleri hakkında da şöyle buyuruyor: "Onlara mühlet vermemiz sadece daha çok günâha girmeleri içindir. Onlar için yüz kızartıcı bir azâb vardır" (Âl-i İmrân - 178) “Şuna da şaşılır ki, her gün, her gece ölüp dirilip dururken ba'si (yeniden dirilmeyi) inkâr eder...” (Razi) Ümmü Seleme, Peygamber (s.a.s)'e bir gün "Ya Rasûlüllah! dünyada ki kadınları mı, yoksa cennetteki hûrîler mi daha iyidir?" diye sorar. Rasûlüllah (asm); "Dünyadaki kadınların üstünlüğü, yüzün astara üstünlüğü gibidir." diye cevap verir. Ümmü Seleme; "Niçin?" deyince o (asm), şöyle cevap verir; "Dünyadaki kadınlar namaz kıldıkları, oruç tuttukları ve birçok ibadetlerde bulundukları için." (Tabarânî) "Kim üç kere Allah'dan Cenneti isterse bizzat Cennet; "Allah'ım! Bu adamı Cennet'e koy." der. Buna karşılık kim üç kere kendisini Cehennem'den uzak tutması için Allah'a yalvarırsa bizzat Cehennem; "Allah'ım! Bu adamı Cehennem'den uzak tut!" der." Cennetin tek nimeti din kardeşlerinin buluşması ve biraraya gelmesi bile olsa, Cennete girmek sırf bu yüzden mutlu ve sevindirici bir olay olurdu. Oysa, orada daha bir çok sayısız bağış vardır. "Cennet'te öyle çarşılar vardır ki, oralarda alış-veriş yapılmaz. Cennetlikler bu çarşılarda öbek öbek biraraya gelerek biribirlerine dünya hayatının nasıl geçtiğini, Allah'a nasıl ibâdet ettiklerini, dünyada fakirlerin ve zenginlerin nasıl yaşadıklarını, ölümün nasıl olduğunu ve uzun bir imtihan döneminden sonra nasıl Cennet'e girebildiklerini anlatırlar."

“İnkâr edenler, kendilerine vermiş olduğumuz mühletin, sakın kendileri için hayırlı olduğunu sanmasınlar. Biz, onlara ancak günahları artsın diye mühlet veriyoruz. Onlar için alçaltıcı bir azap vardır.” Ali imran 178 Sözlükte “mühlet vermek, hedefine ulaşması için kişiyi yaptığı işte serbest bırakmak, istediği gibi otlaması için atın bağını uzun tutmak” anlamlarına gelen imlâ kelimesi, burada kâfirlerin dünyada iradelerini serbestçe kullanabilmeleri için kendilerine fırsat verildiğini ifade etmektedir. Bu, Allah'ın bütün insanlık için koymuş olduğu değişmez kanunudur (sünnetullah). İnsanlar bu dünyada kendi hür iradeleriyle tercihte bulunurlar, diledikleri gibi yaşarlar. Ancak yüce Allah burada inkârlarına rağmen kâfirlere böyle bir fırsat vererek onları serbest bırakmasının kendileri için hayırlı bir şey olduğunu sanmamaları gerektiğini, onlara sadece günahlarının artması için mühlet verdiğini, dolayısıyla bunun sevinilecek veya övünülecek bir şey olmadığını haber vermekte ve bu suretle onları uyarmaktadır. Çünkü insan kuvvetli bir imana, güzel bir ahlâka ve iyi bir amele sahip ise işte o zaman yüce Allah'ın ona verdiği fırsat, uzun ömür ve bol servet faydalı olur. Oysa inkârcılarda iman ve imana dayalı güzel amel yoktur. Bu sebeple onların ömürlerinin uzun, servetlerinin çok olması günahlarını artırmaktan başka bir şeye yaramaz. Günahları artıkça da azapları şiddetlenecektir. Bu sebeple yüce Allah onlar için alçaltıcı bir azap hazırlanmış olduğunu bildirmektedir. “Bu mühlet verme, zamanı uzatmadan ibarettir. Şüphe yok ki bu da Hak Teâlâ´nın fiillerindendir. Âyet, bu mühlet verişin, bir hayır olmadığını açıkça beyân etmektedir. Bu da, Allah Teâlâ´nın hayr ile şerrin yaratıcısı olduğuna delâlet etmektedir. Hak Teâlâ, bu mühlet verişten maksadın, onların günahlarını, azgınlıklarını ve haddi aşmalarını artırmaları olduğunu açıkça beyân etmektedir. Bu da, küfrün ve isyanın da Allah´ın irâdesi ile olduğunu gösterir. Bu âyet, Cenâb-ı Hakk´ın bu dünyada kâfirin ömrünü uzatmasını ve onu çeşitli muradlanna ulaştırmasının bir nimet olmadığına delâlet eder. Çünkü Allah Teâlâ, bunlardan hiçbirinin o kâfir için hayır olmadığını açıkça bildirmektedir. Bunun böyle olduğunu akıl da gösterir. Zira birisine zehirli bir hurma tatlısı ikram eden kimsenin, bu ikramı bir nimet verme sayılamaz. Bundan dolayı, Allah´ın kâfire dünyevî nimetler vermesinin maksadı, âhiret cezasını (artırma) olunca, bunlardan hiçbiri gerçekte nimet olamaz. Allah Teâlâ´nın, kâfirlere birçok nimetler verdiğini ifâde eden âyetlere gelince, bütün bu âyetler, o şeylerin zahiren nimet oluşuna hamledilmiştir. Bu âyet ile, o gibi âyetlerin arası ancak, "o nimetler zahiren nimet olup, gerçekte bir belâ ve gazab sebebidirler" denilerek bulunur.” Razi
