THE POWER OF SATADA
Satada is the Intense Prayers for certain reason or purpose. It is a group prayer which is performed in Jamat Khanas. Currently we are going through a Satada this week in Canada. This means all Jamat Khanas are holding prayers the same time in their own time zones.
In Canada we have two Satadas every year for Mushkil Aasan in the evening and 3 in the morning for Baitul Khayal. These are the Satadas approved by Hazar Imam.
In the past when people were going through difficult time for any personal reason they went to Mukhi Saheb and explained the seriousness of the situation and requested for a Jamati Satada. Understanding the request of that person or the family Mukhi Saheb approved it and that particular Jamat prayed for the cause of the family for seven days.
Today I do not see such a thing happening on the individual family problems. All Satadas are approved by Hazar Imam. The reason for it is simple. This is a highly spiritual and powerful matter. It is not allowed for personal reasons for any family difficulties etc. It seems like the misuse of the Power of Satada.
I have in my lifetime seen the result of Satada two times. Once when I was a young teenager in Bombay (now Mumbai) a Satada was held over there. This Satada was because for a long time there was no rain all over in the country and there was a lot of sufferings going on. We prayed for seven days and on the last day of Satada I was standing near the window of our Karimabad Jamatkhana and could see it was raining. That was a relief for millions of people in the country.
The second time I was in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. This happened between 1980 and 1985. I used to live in Brampton and a young boy may be in late teen or early twenties fell very sick and the doctors had given him a few days to live. On the request of his parents the Mukhi Saheb allowed a Satada. After the Satada was over the same doctors checked the boy and all the death threatening sickness disappeared and the boy became normal and lived a normal life.
So, the Satadas are serious prayers and we are not allowed to use them for personal family matters. These prayers are very powerful and hence we are given these Satada totally 5 times in a year. Hence if you have any personal difficulties in your family ask during the Satada to Mowla to alleviate your personal difficulties. In my life I have experienced personally a very satisfying result for a certain personal matter. Since then I ask Mowla during the Satada to alleviate other difficulties.
One missionary compared Satada to a huge missile. He explained if you are a hunter and want to kill an animal you use bullets for the purpose. In war when many people are attacking you, then use hand grenade. If you want to destroy still a larger area, then use the missile. Do not use a missile to kill an animal. It’s a misuse of the missile.
Hence for small personal problems like sickness etc. don’t look for Satada. There are many other ways to deal with them through Jamati tasbih etc. WE still are given the benefit of Satada twice a year in the evening to ask Mowla for your personal Mushkil Aasan.
I hope this will give you some idea about Satada and you are able to get your personal difficulties resolved or alleviated.
Good luck.
