Ayatollah Tavakkol said that tribulations and problems are due to our own actions and said, \u201cWe reap what we sow but in the month of Sha\u2019ban we can remove the calamities from ourselves and society.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
RNA \u2013 In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Sayed Rahim Tavakkol, the representative of the people of Mazandaran province in the Assembly of Experts, referred to the effect of supplications and prayers on alleviating tribulations and problems and said, \u201cGod created his servants for worship and these tribulations and calamities are all tests for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teacher of Islamic ethics in the Islamic Seminaries emphasized that most of these tribulations go back to us and added, \u201cGod says in verse 30 of Surah al-Shura [The Counsel] \u2018Whatever affliction that may visit you is because of what your hands have earned and He excuses many [an offense of yours]<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n

He explained, \u201cThis issue is also emphasized in our narrations to the extent that Imam Ali al-Ridha said, \u2018Whenever servants commit such sins that they had not committed before, God creates a new misfortune against them of which they had no knowledge<\/em>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Tavakkol said, \u201cHow many people do you really know who are to blame in this situation? How many people believe that because we weren\u2019t merciful and because we sinned that these calamities have been descended upon us? Therefore, we need to know that whatever we have planted, we will reap.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another part of the interview, His Eminence referred to the verse of the Quran, \u201cWe have certainly sent [apostles] to nations before you, then We seized them with stress and distress so that they might entreat [Us]<\/em>\u201d [6:42] and said, \u201cWe said that tribulations and calamities are mostly caused by our own actions but according to this verse we can heal them again by praying and supplicating to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

He described the month of Sha\u2019ban the best time to return to the house of God and said, \u201c\u2018basa\u2019 means \u2018poverty\u2019 and \u2018misery\u2019 and \u2018dharra\u2019 means \u2018illness\u2019 and \u2018adversity\u2019 but all of this returns to our supplication, repentance and forgiveness and now, we are in the best time for supplication and prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Tavakkol said, \u201cIn this time we are at home, we can contemplate a little in our isolation and we can see if we were real servants or now and in this month, which is the beginning of the month of the divine feast, we must resort to God and the Ahl al-Bayt and this this manner, God Almighty will surely remove the calamities in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
