Tawassul from Ahlulbayt (a.s.)

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (a.s.) said:

Whenever you are involved in hardships and calamities you must ask for the help of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime through us, and that is the interpretation of the verse:
وَلِلّهِ الأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا

‘And for Allah are the most beautiful names. So call Him by them.’ [al-Araaf: 180]
