Question:
1) since Ali is one of the names of Allah SWT (it’s the 36th name means the Highest), was our Prophet calling upon Allah in the dua and not Ali (RA)?
2) Why would our prophet call upon Ali instead of Allah when in trouble
3) should Sunni Muslims read it?
Answer:
Al-`Ali العلي is one of the Divine Names and means The Most High. It has
nothing to do with Sayyidina `Ali b. Abi Talib (r) or any other person named
`Ali.
