RūḥThe Spirit (الروح, al-rūḥ) is mentioned twenty one times in the Quran, where it is described as issuing from command of God. The spirit acts as an agent of divine action or communication. The Quran describes the rūḥ in various ways. It refers to ruh as rūḥ al-qudus, which means "the holy spirit" and ar-rūḥ al-amin, which means "the faithful" or "trustworthy spirit", terms that are commonly understood to be references to the archangel Gabriel.
AhkamAhkam (, أحكام "rulings", plural of (حُكْم)) is an Islamic term with several meanings. In the Quran, the word hukm is variously used to mean arbitration, judgement, authority, or God's will. In the early Islamic period, the Kharijites gave it political connotations by declaring that they accept only the hukm of God (حُكْمُ اللّهِ). The word acquired new meanings in the course of Islamic history, being used to refer to worldly executive power or to a court decision.
HaramḤarām (arabe : ar [ḥarām], illégal ; illicite ; interdit ; inviolable ; sacré; saint), venant de la racine arabe Ḥ-R-M, est un mot qui a deux sens en arabe et dans l'islam : « interdit » ou « sacré ». Cette racine produit aussi les termes haram (arabe : ar [al-ḥaram], enceinte, lieu sacré, sanctuaire, chose sacrée) qui renvoie à un lieu dont l'accès est défendu à certains, ainsi que harîm (ar [ḥarīm]) qui a donné en français le harem.
IbadahIbadah (, ‘ibādah, also spelled ibada) is an Arabic word meaning service or servitude. In Islam, ibadah is usually translated as "worship", and ibadat—the plural form of ibadah—refers to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) of Muslim religious rituals. In Arabic ibadah is connected with related words such as "Ubudiyyah" ("slavery"), and has connotations of obedience, submission, and humility. The word linguistically means "obedience with submission". In Islam, ibadah is usually translated as "worship" and means obedience, submission, and devotion to God.
Tahara (islam)Al-tahara (طهارة) est la purification rituelle ou l'état de pureté en islam. L'existence du terme en syriaque et en hébreu suggèrent que le mot coranique avant tout est un terme technique. Cet état est nécessaire, pour les musulmans, souhaitant effectuer certaines actions, comme faire la prière ou toucher un (exemplaire du Coran). De très nombreux textes ont été écrits par des penseurs musulmans, illustrant les nombreuses divergences, principalement sur des points de détails.
Raising hands in duaIn Islam, Raising hands in Dua (رفع اليدين في الدعاء) is the action of using hands to invoke Allah in dua. Many scholars including especially Salafis limit this practice. According to them, basing on a lack of hadiths for other instances, with a fully authenticated chain, the practice of raising hands is specific to irregular prayers for needs and the Qunut of the Witr/Fajr prayers. This view excludes the practice of regularly raising the hands as sunnah and a mustahabb act of ibadah after fardh salah accompanying a dua.
Fajr nafl prayerFajr nafl prayer (رَغِيبَةُ الْفَجْرِ ; dawn supererogatory prayer) is an Islamic prayer (salat) that is performed after the second adhan of dawn and before Fajr (dawn-time prayer). The optional dawn prayer is a pair of rakats which are offered to God just before performing the obligatory Fajr prayer which is fard. This nafilah is considered by Muslim jurists (fuqaha) to be a confirmed Sunnah, and it represents the beginning of the daytime prayers of the Muslim day, while the Witr is the closing of the nighttime prayers just after the Chafa'a prayer.
