Zekr - Part 1

Duas and Zikr keep away tribulations

Imam Sadeq (AS) said: A believer may die under any condition save by lightning which will not strike him when he is remembering God.

Imam Sadeq (AS): Sometimes, a man invokes God for the fulfillment of his desire and starts praising God and sending greetings to Muhammad and his progeny to the extent that he forgets the desire itself.  Here God fulfills man’s desire without asking any desire.

Holy Prophet (SAW): One whose prayer keeps him from invoking God, God will give him the best thing given to a suppliant.

Holy Prophet (SAW): God said to Moses (AS): Remember Me frequently and when doing so be humble.

Imam Sadeq (AS): A man might die any kind of death: Being drowned in water fall off from somewhere, being devoured by fierce animals, and stricken by thunder, but none of these befalls a man who remembers God frequently.
