Is circulating the message "Test Your Devil," which includes specific supplications with the aim of challenging Satan and encouraging people to remember Allah, permissible or an innovation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Calling people to Allah is a struggle against Satan. It is a call to Paradise, to the Oneness of Allah, and to His obedience. There is no harm in supplicating with words other than those transmitted (from the Prophet), but it is better for the supplicant to be keen on supplicating with what has been established in the texts of revelation, and to avoid inventing supplications that have not been authenticated. It is recommended to adhere to studying the revelation and calling people to what has been derived from it.
