Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:
1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1: Knowledge Section
Should we pray to God to protect and guard us from temptations and trials? NOOR Mawlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.) has shed light on the topic of trials in the following saying:
|
"Take care and do not pray to Lord saying, "Lord I pray Thee to protect and guard me from temptations and trials", for there is none who is not tempted and tried. But beseech Him to guard you against such temptation as may lead you towards wickedness and sins. Because God has said in His Holy Book, "Know thee that time, wealth and children are temptations". It means God tried people through wealth and children, so that it may be tested as who is content with what he gets honestly and who is thankful to God for the position he is placed with regard to his children. Though God knows them better than even they know themselves, yet those trials and tests are for the purpose of their realising and knowing those deeds which merit reward or which deserve punishment. There are some people who love to have male children and hate daughters and there are some who simply crave after wealth and hate poverty." (Nahjul Balagha: Sermons, letters and saying of Hazrat Ali, Sayings of Hazrat Ali 93, p. 282)
