Worship in the midnight of Sha'ban
-----------------------------
We are in the month of Shaban in which good deeds are distributed among the believers and close to the night of the half of Sha'ban, which was narrated by Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him) saying: (It is the best night after the Night of Power in which God gives His servants His grace and forgives them, so strive in the closeness to God Almighty in it, because it is a night that God has made compulsory for himself not to reject any request until it is not a sin). It is narrated that this verse of Quran:
(فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ)(الدخان : 4)
“On that night is made distinct every precise matter” -refers this night because God Almighty makes record of every human being that who will be born in this year and who will pass away in this year and provisions are distributed in it from one year to another and what happens in the whole year is revealed according to the hadith of the Prophet.
Let us seize this blessed opportunity by praying for the rest of God Almighty on His land for his protection, support and for his advent until He fills the earth with justice thoroughly the same as it has been filled with injustice and oppression And that God Almighty relieves us of anxiety, distress and anguish, and chooses what he loves and pleases with ease and well-being and makes the consequences of our affairs good.
Among the prayers mentioned in this field are what the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family) called on the day of Badr ( ) and Imam Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) on the day of Ashura ( ) and it is:
(اللَهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ؛ وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ ؛ وَأَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِـي ثِقَةٌ وَعُدَّةٌ، كَمْ مِنْ هَمٍّ يَضْعُفُ فِيهِ الْفُؤَادُ، وَتَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ، وَيَخْذُلُ فِيهِ الصَّدِيقُ، وَيَشْمَتُ فِيهِ الْعَدُوُّ، أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ، وَشَكَوْتُهُ إلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً مِنِّي إلَيْكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ، فَفَرَّجْتَهُ عَنِّي، وَكَشَفْتَهُ، وَكَفَيْتَهُ، فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ، وَصَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ، وَمُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ).
(Oh God, you are my confidence in every distress, and you are my hope in every intensity; and you are my satisfaction and helper in whatever comes down to me, how many problems the heart cannot cope with and there is no solution and things change in that, the friend insults, and the enemy curses in it. You sent it down on me, and I complained to you about it and I turned to you from everything other than you. So you have managed it and you removed it and settled me in it. So you are the guardian of every blessing and the owner of every virtue and end of every wish)
(One of the supplications is) the supplication of Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) if a task is presented to him or when he is exposed to it and when he is in distress and it is the seventh supplication of Saheefa Sajjadia and its first line is: (يامن تُحلَّ به عُقد المكاره). (Oh that the hardships are only resolved by Him) Al-Sayyid Ibn Tawoos narrated, in the book (مُهَجُ الدّعَوات) Muhaju dawaat that Al-Yassa Ibn Hamza Al-Qummi wrote to Imam Al-Hadi(peace be upon him) and complained about the dissolution of the Abbasid Caliph and his threat to kill him. He wrote to him: there is no horror on you, and there is nothing wrong, so pray God with this supplication, He will save you soon and make you a relief, So, the family of Muhammad (may God’s prayers be upon them all) read this supplication when the calamity and enemies appeared, and when poverty and tension disturbed them.so he read this supplication in the mid of the day and with in a short period of time he was released and honored.
(One of the supplications) to pray God Almighty is:
(يا غياث المستغيثين أغثني)،
The late Sheikh Ahmed Al-Waeli reported an incident in the impact of this supplication, that, one day, a king became sad and depressed and did not know a reason for that, so his aides and advisers tried to do everything they could to adjust his mood, introduce pleasure to him, and remove his grief, but they did not succeed, he ordered them to prepare the ships for a free outing, perhaps his situation will be fine, so they prepared for him what he needed and set out on a journey at sea. He heard a distress call from a person and instructed his men to go out to sea and search him until they found him and saved him, and they brought him to the king, so he asked him about his condition, he said: we were on a ship, and the sea was troubled, broken, and the passengers drowned, except me , I was seeking help from God Almighty and shouting:
(يا غياث المستغيثين أغثني) until you came and you saved me.
These are all gates of divine mercy and reasons for coming down His blessings, we ask God to include us in it and change our bad situation into a good condition and correct what is corrupted about our religion and our world.it was because of corona virus that people in Europe turned towards God Almighty and left committing sins and other crimes that make Lord angry . God Almighty says:
(وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِي الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُونَ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاكُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ كَفُورًا) (الاسراء :67)
And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful.
Muhammad Yaqoobi
