Sayyid 'Ali Qadi Tabataba'i: Difference between revisions

Among Qadi's other methods of spiritual wayfaring towards [[Allah]] are observing on-time [[daily prayers]], observing night prayer, keeping a vigil, and repeating various [[dhikr]]s which he himself used to say all the time and also advised his students to do so, such as reciting [[Yunusiyya dhikr]] together with the [[Qur'an]] in prostration, reciting [[Sura al-Qadr]] hundred times on Thursday nights, and reciting [[Sura al-Tawhid]], [[Du'a al-Kumayl]], and [[Ziyarat Jami'ah]] frequently. He loved to keep a vigil in the [[Masjid al-Kufa]] and [[Masjid al-Sahla]] and had small rooms in these two [[Masjid]]s to worship Allah. He recommended visiting Masjid al-Sahla especially on foot. He also believed that the spiritual wayfarer have to be the Islamic authority, because when some spiritual realms are opened up for him, he would be charged with some duties which only an Islamic authority can find out how to fulfil them properly.
