What is the ruling on messages circulated via chat and mobile phones, the intention of which is to offer advice and mention God, an example of which is: "O Allah, have mercy on the believing men and women, and the Muslim men and women, those who are alive and those who have passed away, until the Day of Judgment. For Allah's sake, O Sheikh, send it to every email address you have. I adjure you by 'There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' It is a trust upon your neck until the Day of Judgment that you send it to all the emails you have, even if I am among them. I adjure you by the Almighty, the Compeller, to send it to everyone you have. Circulate it, may Allah relieve your worries. There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous"?
Advising a Muslim and reminding him of Allah Almighty is a good deed. However, one should not ask him by Allah Almighty, as this might put him in an awkward position. Some scholars have explicitly stated that asking by Allah Almighty is disliked (makrooh).
