Title: Happiness in the practice of Surah Al-Furqan

When the Second World War broke out, Badi' az-Zamån an-Nürsi, the Ottoman sage versed in the exegesis of the Koran, seemed indifferent to this event while the people were prey to fear and worry. Asked about his indifference, he replied: “I am concerned about something more serious” – “But what is more serious than a world war,” he is asked? » - “ The Day of Resurrection,” he answers. »

This brief passage from the book is powerful. It sets the tone of the work and very simply summarizes its main problem: how to remain lucid and clairvoyant thanks to the teachings of the Koran despite the vicissitudes and pretenses of this ephemeral and all-consuming life?

No sincere believer disputes the evidence of the truths contained in the Word of God, but how many men and women among them manage to discern them and live by them? The whole challenge of receiving the Word of God in one's heart lies there!

In this book, Professor Farid al Ansari highlights, with strength and depth, the role of the Quran as an essential criterion, embodied by Surah Al Furqån, which he examines word by word to reveal its luminous secrets leading to the highest stations of spiritual realization. He methodically manages to take the reader on an introspective and transformative spiritual journey.

But its originality is also to encourage people to live this experience of discovering the meanings and deep meanings of the Koran in a collective way, by means of Koranic assemblies which aim to

humbly reproduce the dynamic of the companions of the prophet for whom the Quran was light and was the subject of constant recitation and meditation.

[O you who believe, if you fear Allah, He will grant you the ability to discern between truth and falsehood, erase your evil deeds and forgive you, for He is the Master of universal grace S.8/V.29”
