Nad e ‘Ali (A.s)

Question:

As salamu ‘alaykum,
1. What is nad e ali
2. As Sunnis are we allowed to recite it ?
3. Do we need ijzaah to read it ?

4. I’m confused, as a group of people say that, Allah commanded the prophet (PBUH) to ask help through ‘Ali (R.A) through this. Why does our beloved need to ask help through hazrat Ali (R.A) when he himself is the closest to Allah hu subahana wa ta’ala ?

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

All of creation has to approach Allah Most High through the Holy Prophet Muhammad (upon him blessings and peace) without exception, including all the Prophets and all the Awliya‘. They all need his intercession for them and he needs no one’s intercession for himself. Allah Most High said: {And Allah suffices as a Witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah} (48:28-29). The Praiseworthy Station belongs to him exclusively
of any other creature and Allah has raised his name to put it next to His Name exclusively of any other name. We do not know much but we do know that this is the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa ‘l-Jama`ah. As for what you mentioned we have no idea.
