2:45
One of the teachings of the Quraan is : “Seek help through patience and prayer (salat)’’ (2:45). Now if a wise person reflects on this for a while, he will soon realize that the patience which is mentioned here is a human attribute, and means to bear hardship with determination and courage in a difficult task or in affliction and calamity. The importance of patience (together with prayer) is such that it is ordained as a means of seeking help from God. Therefore, is it shirk that Divien help is sought through patience and prayer?
In addition to the exoteric meaning of patience and prayer, they also have tawil. According to tawil, patience is the Holy Prophet and prayer or salat is this successor, namely Mawlana Ali. It is through them that Divine help should be sought and it has been commanded for us to do so. And this is the best to seek Divine help.
