SHAFAQNA – The language of the Quran is one kind, and the language of Dua is another kind, and the language of scholars and Gnostic is another kind. The thing which makes the human being relieved, and pulls the human being out of this dark place, and relieves the soul from worries and bewilderment is Duas by Imams (AS). Most of our Imams (AS) faced superpowers (of their times) and could not conduct their guidance openly, and had to do it in hiding. The purpose of these Duas (by Imams (AS)) was to equip and mobilize people against those oppressing ruling regimes. By reciting these Duas, people found spiritual strength and felt relieved and martyrdom became easy for them [1].
