A man must have a balance in his personality and character.

A man must have a balance in his personality and character. A balance between his feeling weak and his feeling strong. If a man feels weak and sees his soul weak, in face of difficulties and problems, he will not be able to face life and will crumble. At the same time, if a man is full of courage, then this leads him to be proud. So there must be a balance in the soul of a person. How and when can you get this balance?

It can be obtained when you link yourself with God and get into contact with God. Dua gives man strength when he feels weak, because such a man sees that all the troubles and all the forces against him are nothing compared to God and His strength. But at the same time he doesn't get proud, because he who remembers God and His position, will feel weak and disgraced when he compares God's strength with his own.

For example, if you are in contact with a King or a ruler, you have confidence that he will help you, since he has strength, and at the same time when you compare his strength with your own, you won't be proud. Thus Dua gives you confidence, and at the same time prevents you from being proud. This is the reason why most of the Duas of our 14 Infallibles (Masoomeen) (p.b.u.h.) talk of the greatness of God, and remind man of his weakness compared to Almighty God. "O Allah!

I ask you by Your mercy that encompasses everything. O Allah! You are strong and I am weak." The holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) says: "The best form of worship is Dua". The laziest man is that who doesn't remember God by his lips or tongue, in spite of being healthy and idle. The holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) says: "The most incapable man is the one who neglects Dua". Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.) says: "The best deed toward Allah is Dua".

Imam Baqir (p.b.u.h.) says: "Do not get bored with Dua as it is very highly ranked by Allah". Imam Ja'far Sadiq (p.b.u.h.) says: "Increase Dua because it is the key to all mercy and fulfiller of every need". Previous…
