Maula Ali (as) Advice To Kumail ----- Part 5

Part 5

......O Kumail! You are surrounded by your enemies. You have to live with them, eat with them, and drink with them. It is possible that you may be wealthier than they are, to their utter disappointment, but Allah will help you and fail them.

O Kumail! I swear to Allah that when your leader (the 12th Imam (a.s.)) appears, your enemies will not eat with you, live near you, or knock on your door. They will not receive any blessings; they will be the dishonoured and the despised ones. They will be captured wherever they go and they will be killed. 

O Kumail! Praise the Lord and the Imams for this and for every other blessing.

O Kumail! For any difficulty say “LA HOWLA WA LA QOWWATA ILLA BILLAH” (There is no strength nor power but with Allah) and the difficulty will be removed. For any blessing say “ALHAMDU LILLAH” (All Praise Belongs to Allah) and We will increase the blessing.

If your sustenance is delayed seek forgiveness and it will come to you.

O Kumail! If Shaytan whispers in your heart, say:

“A’OUZO BILLAH AL-QAWI MIN AL-SHAITAN AL-GHAWI WA A’OUZO BI MOHAMMADEN AL-RADHI MIN SHARRE MA QODDERA WA QADHI WA A’OUZO BI ILLAHENNAS MIN SHARRE AL-JINNATE WA NNASE AJMAEEN WA SALLAM”

(I seek refuge with the strong Allah from the deviating Shaytan, and I seek refuge with .....Mohammad from the worst fate and destiny, and I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind from the jinn and human beings)

This prayer will keep you safe from the evil plotting of Shaytan and the devils with him, who are all devils like him. 

O Kumail! They use deception, conflict, vanity, devilish insinuations, and pride according to the level of the person’s obedience and disobedience. Therefore, if one is not fully aware of these satanic strategies they will seize him.

OKumail! There is no enemy worse than Shaytan and the devils with him, and nothing can hurt you more than they can. Their wish is for you to be with them tomorrow in Hell when they are being tortured, and they will be in Hell eternally and the flames of Hell will never be reduced.
