The Prophet (PBUH): “It is Gabriel who informs me that the greatest and most truly happy is the one who loves Ali during his life and after his death”.[1]
Imam Ali (a.s.): I swear by God that the love of Abu Talib’s son is greater than the love of an infant at his mother’s breast”.[2]
After the martyrdom of Amir al-Mu’minin (A.S.), Imam Hassan (A.S.) recited a sermon and mentioned Ali (A.S.) and said: “(Ali) was the seal of the guardians and the seal of the prophets and the leader of the righteous, the martyrs, and the righteous.” Then he said: O people! A man has gone before you who was not surpassed by the past and the future will not be able to understand him”.[3]
The Last Testament of Ali (AS)
The forty-seventh letter from the Nahj al-Balagha letters section contains a testament of the master of speech and expression, which in the shortest phrases and the fewest sentences, has expressed all that should be kept in mind and be careful, and has advised us forever. The main part of this letter is as follows:
“I order you;
۱٫ To fear God;
۲٫ And don’t turn to worldliness, even if it comes to you;
۳٫ And don’t be sad about what you lose from the world;
۴٫ Tell the truth and act for divine reward;
۵٫ Be an enemy of the oppressor and a helper of the oppressed;
۶٫ And order in life affairs;
۷٫ And creating reconciliation among you; Because I heard from your grandfather, the Messenger of God (PBUH) that he said: Making amends between people is better than praying and fasting for a year;
۸ . God! God! about orphans; Don’t let them be sometimes full and sometimes hungry and their rights be lost;
۹٫ God! God! about your neighbors; Respect their rights, which is the will of your Prophet, he always ordered good behavior to his neighbors, as far as we thought he would give them an inheritance;
۱۰٫ God! God! Regarding the Qur’an, lest others surpass you in following its commands;
۱۱٫ God! God! About prayer because it is the pillar of your religion;
۱۲٫ God! God! Regarding the house of God, do not leave it empty while you are there; Because if the Kaaba is deserted, you will not be given respite;
۱۳٫ God! God! About Jihad, with their property, lives and tongues in the way of God;
۱۴٫ May it be upon you to unite with each other, and forgive each other, lest you turn away from each other, and destroy the bond of friendship.
۱۵٫ Don’t leave enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, because your evils will dominate you, then whatever you call to God will not be answered…”.[4]
A sip of sunshine
to try: Mohammad Ali Kaabi
l From the sayings of Amirul Momineen Ali (AS) in the last moments of his honorable life:
The Holy Prophet (PBUH): “Do not curse Ali.” He is infatuated and restless with the divine essence”.[5]
The Holy Prophet (SAW): “Whoever wants to look at Adam in his knowledge, Noah in his piety, Abraham in his tolerance, Moses in his awe, and Jesus in his worship, look at Ali ibn Abi Talib”.[6]
“Tomorrow you will know me (and you will see the value of the days of my life) and you will know from within me, after you see my place empty and someone else takes my place, you will know me”.[7]
l Imam Sadiq (a.s.): “God made the guardianship of Ali (a.s.) obligatory just as he made prayer, zakat, fasting, and Hajj obligatory.”[8]
Hint
successor of the prophet
Mohammad Ali Kaabi
On the 19th night of Ramadan in the year 40 AH, the successor of the Prophet, Ali bin Abi Talib, was assassinated in the center of his caliphate. Abdurrahman bin Muljam and two of his accomplices, some time ago in a gathering in Makkah agreed to kill Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.), Mu’awiya bin Abis Sufyan and Amr bin As in one night. Muawiyah was stabbed and Amr bin As did not go to the mosque. Imam (a.s.) was severely beaten in Sarmbarak area; This was while only four years and a few months had passed since his rule of justice.
Ibn Muljam was one of the marqeen, and the marqeen were the same group that forced Ali (a.s.) to accept arbitrariness. But after a few days, they regretted their actions and demanded that the Imam break the covenant.
Imam Ali (a.s.) was not the one who broke his promise and violated the covenant; Therefore, they, who are the same Kharijites, lined up against Ali (a.s.) and fought with him in Nahrwan.
Hazrat Ali (a.s.) won this war that happened in 39 or 38 Hijri; But grudges remained hidden in the hearts. They, who had not been able to become Zulfiqar’s opponents on the battlefield, drew their swords insidiously in the prayer altar.
Imam’s penetrating eyes were staring at the sky on the night of the 19th of Ramadan in the year 40, and this sentence was repeated under his lips: “I did not lie and he did not lie; This is the night I was promised.”
last moments
The Imam spent the whole night praying and praying and went to the mosque at dawn. As always, he woke up the people and said: “As Salat Salat”.
He called the call to prayer and started the prayer, and during the prayer, Ibn Muljam Moradi attacked them with the famous slogan of the Khawarij – “Lahkam ila Allah” – and brought the sword down on their heads. This was while the imam had answered the call: “Fuzt and the Lord of the Kaaba”.
Two days later, Imam (a.s.) said goodbye to the ungrateful world, which was less valuable to him than his patched shoes, due to the poison in which the sword had been watered, and rushed to the Prophet’s loving arms. At that time, Imam was sixty-three years old and according to the testimony of friends and enemies, he was the most worthy man who could be the successor of the Prophet.
Unique imam
He was Muhammad minus the Prophet and he was the first man to convert to Islam; Whereas before that you never worshiped idols.
His sword, from Badr to Nahrwan, did not fight for anything except the One Lord, and it was the gate of the city of knowledge of the Prophet of Islam.
He was the most eloquent man who could find Arabs and foreigners in his world after Rasul Khatam.
Executive speech
do you know:
£ Imam Ali (a.s.) was buried at night by his sons (Imam Hassan (a.s.) and Imam Hussain (a.s.), Muhammad bin Hanafia, Mr. Abul Fazl al-Abbas), who were accompanied by some of the Imam’s special Shiites who did not exceed seven people. they had.
The grave of Imam Ali (AS) was hidden for about a hundred years, and this was due to the presence of the Khawarij and the possibility of their daring to visit the grave of Amirul Momineen Ali (AS).
It was Imam Sadiq (a.s.) who for the first time revealed the grave of Amirul Momineen Ali (a.s.) in the period when the Khawarij were almost extinct.
It was one of the last wills of Imam Masoonit Khawarij after him. They say to their companions: “Don’t kill the Khawarij from the next; Do not kill the Khawarij after me.” Because killing them after me is for the benefit of Muawiyah; Not for the sake of truth.
Among all Muslims, Imam Ali (a.s.) is the only caliph who never worshiped idols. It is for this reason that the Sunnis use the phrase “Karam Allah Wajeh” after mentioning his honorable name; It means that his face has never turned towards the idol.
Imam’s will
Piety, prohibition of worldliness, prohibition of regret for the world, advice to speak the truth, work for divine reward, enmity with the oppressor and friendship with the oppressed, order to piety and establish the divine system, avoiding the differences of the Islamic Ummah, caring for the lives of orphans, importance Neighborliness, trying to follow the Qur’an, paying attention to prayer, paying attention to Hajj, paying attention to Jihad, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and avoiding revenge, are some of the wills that Imam Ali (a.s.) gave to those around him in the last moments of his noble life. And they had two cherished children.
Simplicity and worship of Hazrat
Their food was barley bread, dates and milk. They planted date trees and dug water wells with their own hands. Most of the nights, they were engaged in worship, secret and need, and they fasted most of the days of the year. They sat on mats, and considered the caliphate less valuable than their patched shoes.
Lights of the way
Supreme Leader
Amir al-Mu’minin is a miracle of creation. He is a first class Muslim, Tali Tello is a prophet. His authorities are more famous in the heavens than on earth. His disciples and lovers are more among the angels of heaven than among humans.[9]
Allameh Mohammad Taghi Jafari
There is no doubt that we cannot show the character of Ali Ibn Abi Talib like the one-dimensional characters of history… We are dealing with a man who has a high purpose for life. A ruler who is absolutely just. He has a high level of knowledge about man and the world.[10]
Some speeches of Muslim and Sunni scholars
Ibn Abi al-Hadid, in the fourth volume of the Book of Light, in the description of the letter of Imam Ali (a.s.) to Abdullah bin Abbas after the conquest of Egypt by Muawiya’s troops and the martyrdom of Muhammad bin Abi Bakr, who wrote the news of this disaster to Abdullah in Basra, Ibn Abi al-Hadid says:
“See how Eloquence has given his reins to this man. Alleluia! A young Arab grows up in a city like Mecca. He has not met any sage; But his words are above the words of Plato and Aristotle in theoretical wisdom. He has not socialized with people of practical wisdom; But he has gone higher than Socrates. He was not raised among the brave and the brave; Because the people of Makkah were traders by profession and were not warlike; But the bravest man who ever walked the earth failed. Khalil bin Ahmad was asked whether Ali is braver or Utbah and Bastam. said: “Utba and Bastam should be compared with human beings, our Ali is superior to human beings…”.
Ibn Abi al-Hadid is one of the Mu’tazili scholars of the 7th century Hijri. He is a skilled writer and master poet. He writes about the words of Ali (AS) in the introduction of his book: They have rightly called Ali’s speech inferior to the creator’s speech and superior to the creature’s speech.[11]
Hasan bin Yasar Basri (one of the most famous jurists and scientists of the first century of Hijri)
Ali bin Abi Talib is a teacher of the Islamic Ummah and has greatness and a unique history and closeness to the Holy Prophet. He never neglected the divine order and no reproach in the way of religion affected him.[12]
Ibn Sina
The most honorable man and the dearest of the prophets said this with the center of wisdom and the firmament of truth and the treasury of Amir al-Mu’minin’s intellect that: “O Ali! Because the people suffered in the abundance of worship, you suffered in reasonable understanding so that you can surpass everyone.[13]
clear pen
You are that unknown
Mohammad Ali Kaabi
The world after you is a world of successive valleys;
The world is falling into confusion, the world is lost in plunder and death. You are that unique person who will forever be depicted in the bloody anger of the earth. Rise up, historical Rashid and spread another sermon before us! Rise up and wash the words of effortlessness on the sunken fortress of the human mind.
For centuries, no one has spoken the truth like you, and for that, he has not stood upright like a cedar.
Don’t leave these rusty ears in the music of the earth and the sky! Where is the sound of modesty that can be injected into the world so that all the drums and trumpets are silenced and the tone of the words of glory dominates the particles of the air.
It is a lifetime for me to stay at home, O Ali, great auspicious name, open a door for us who are surrounded by our ego.
staying at home
It was the genius of a bird that was deposited in your luminous body; But why no one reached maturity to touch it? You shone and no one opened a window and removed the thick curtains of bigotry; So for twenty-five years, you stayed at home and the spider of ignorance began to weave again from house to house, now you go to the altar in the most ascetic clothes in town.
behind the altar
Take a step, a man of unique virtues, the sun of Ghadir truth! Everywhere you look, angels are standing in respect. With sleepy eyes, Kufe looks at the struggle of the birds and the futile effort at the door; Everything is coming to an end and the saga is dying…
You come from the Kaaba and a familiar figure stands behind the bloody altar. Amir! Step out of your bed and embrace death; Dawn in its strangest state, as if it wants to pass through the window of time with you and leave the world and the night with fun. Sunrise has no meaning without you, sun!
Mysterious minutes cry with your call to prayer and the clock with all its hands hits on the chest and head. The wind howls and knocks on the gates of the prophet’s city of knowledge.
Moments later, you’re saved and your head hurts.
I wish he was a prophet to tie his green handkerchief on your forehead! There is nothing left for the end of separation. You come from the Kaaba; With the most ascetic clothes in the city and behind a bloody altar. A familiar figure is hugging you and blowing its warm smile on your aching body.
In harmony with the wells
Now this is the anger of the clouds of Kufa, or your cry of “Fuztu wa Rabbi al-Kaaba” that breaks the black and night silence of Kufa. Although they did not recognize your value; Every night of our destiny, the cobblestones of our passing alleys until when you leave the mosque towards home and the drops of blood from your forehead drip on the oppression of your patched shoes, in unison with the anger of the clouds of Kufa, let us rain in the well of your cries, O Lord!
Ali is a fountain for blind eyes
Oh God! I swear to your reputation that your difference was a spring to open our blind eyes and it was a red excuse for your flight to beyond. How beautiful you smiled with the tone of blood, the most wounded wave!
That night when the red scent of your departure wafted through the streets, it was the moment of the end of your captivity from the earth.
O familiar master of strange nights! You are gone and the waves of longing of the Kufians will hit the shore of history until doomsday and we will purify ourselves in your memory during every call to prayer.
Ali the scales of divine justice
The wind cut the hand that broke the most beautiful image of existence between the two eyes of prayer and the sanctity of the altar broke this manifestation of Ali’s glory.
Oh Ali! When you became the reddest prostration to sign the disloyalty of the Kufians, you were both Yusuf Chah Gharib and Ibrahim in the fire of unkindness.
Lord John! If these unkind stones break the wings of your falcon of justice, it is because they do not understand anything about the scales of your justice, and I am afraid that you will also intercede for their ignorance, which is the habit of your lineage.
Sunshine at home
Lord John! You were martyred in an alley where your shoulders were breadwinners and you played with children whose neighbors and relatives avoided greeting you. Let me rain on your sojourn in the deepest wells of cry; In memory of your sunshine, when it stays at home and connects your spectacular silence to a bright destiny. Peace be upon you, Lord of hidden pains!
Poetry
Mohammad Ali Kaabi
blade
He saw nothing but death in confronting him, the blade
So the dagger creeps behind him, the razor
He did not think of the black day of the world at all
When you draw a razor on someone’s dawn
The teeth of the wolf had the color of crime
No, it was a snake and a blade was dripping from its mouth
John saw seventy wounds with the window closed
Until he drew a better blade
Blood was a bird that got rid of it
First he went to prostration, as soon as the razor was torn
Another epic died, he said himself and cried
The blade was slowly reaching its end
Bow, just as he raised his head
He who cut your breath many times, razor!
Do not look at the sun after this
He drew a line on all the windows, Razor
When does the city wake up?[14]
He was looking at the moon as he passed by the street
The only hope of the man was this support
The month that carried the burden of night wandering
You have gone to the top with your head in the well
Kufianeh night refreshes my wound
The fate of the night was always completely black
How long is silence? A town is waking up?
Maybe it was a mistake to accept their allegiance!
All their swords were sharpened
There was a spark of fear and guilt in their eyes
Wherever he passed, they added salt to his wounds
Iftar every night was salt, bread and oh
The night passed step by step and the dawn came
There were moon steps in the alley
With you[15]
These streets are full of moonlight with you
Our peace before the storm is with you
From “Hamd” to “And Nas” the nightingale birds
They read Tahrir with you in Chardeh
“Ena Aliyeh Rajyun” pours from the night
The verses of Rahman are coming to an end with you
This sleepy people, other than Narfiqi
They don’t know how to behave with you
They forgot the description of Ghadir and Sham Hijrah
Whatever Muhammad (pbuh) forbade, they are with you
Not in the evening lamp, but in the Kufa candle
Justice and death shine with you
Now that you are going to the mosque, Malaik
They sing “Fazt and Rab Al-Kaaba” with you
Dotted star
I will bring the most beautiful name to your lips
I will bring the heavens to the earth
Every side is empty tonight, your place is in the sky
Because I will put a dot instead of a star
I will come to see you and with a sonnet like the morning
I bring the sun with me in my sleeve
Sweet sadness even in the eyes of the sky
Water falls, I call your name
At sunrise, I call the Maghrib call to prayer
I mention the name of Amirul Momineen
Rosita Nemati
Short and clear(1)
The poison is impatient on the blade and the blood is for the altar. You come from Qiblah and go to Qiblah.
After you on earth, this painful orphan is the story of no one, Ali!
The earth smells of the sunset and before you bow down, Kufa will be frozen, O Ali!
You have walked a thousand untraveled roads with the world’s most patched shoes; I love you, the truth of discovery and intuition!
Your sunny forehead was always at the forefront of defending the mission, and the treasure of your existence was the target of unhewn and unhewn stones of disbelief.
You come from the bed of Muhammad (pbuh) and your body smells like Gabriel’s wings.
Heydari’s zeal is a strong pillar for the sky of mission, O Ali!
“Drunken Shabran, and you are Ali.”
The life of the world is sacrificed to you Ali”

Rosita Nemati
Dear Prophet of Islam (pbuh): “Ali (a.s.) is the first one who knocks on the door of heaven with me, and the first one who chooses to dwell with me in the position of the Almighty, and the first one who is sealed from the wind and is consumed by death.”[16]
In your parting, if the clouds cry blood until the Day of Judgment and the waves beat on your head and chest, O butler of Kausar Ali!
Peace be upon you and your hidden secrets, O oppressed person of Kufa!
dear Ali! You left, and from the burnt volcano of your heart, ash is left, which also rises from your love with every sigh and sits on the heart with every “Ya Ali”.
We offer our condolences for the martyrdom of Ali, this beautiful mixture of intellect and love, sword and tears!
Ali was at the head of Anwar Jali spring
Sometimes it was eternal, it was eternal, Ali
The day they closed the role of creation
Ali was the right mirror of Ali[17]
The grove! Where is the fire moon?
Where is the sun, the star of your night?
O Kofe waiting, eternal orphan
Where is your bread and love and dates?[18]
He went to save himself
To pull a bag of bread in the privacy of Kufa
An orphan would say to an orphan while crying:
Who will kill orphans?[19]
Oh Ali! You went and broke your fast with your blood at dawn; But the bowls of milk are still waiting for you to be the light of the blind eyes of the Kufians.
Greetings to you, who wounded Nabat’s tenderness with a forged sword and filled the altar with red flowers!
Oh Ali! Testimony was the answer of your honesty; Where the message of patched shoes and clothes screamed for justice.
Ali was poisoned by rumors in a space where he was martyred with a bone of sedition in his throat.
They have brought that…
love wound
One day, a virtuous man made a mistake for which he should have been punished. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS) cut off his right paw by God’s order. While the man was holding his fingers with his left hand and walking, he ran into Ibn Al-Kawa, a foreigner and rioter. The foreigner wanted to use this trend for the benefit of his party and against Ali (a). He asked with a pitiful face.
Who cut your hand? The injured man replied:
My paw was cut by the master of the successors of the Prophet. The leader of the white-faced people of the Day of Resurrection, the most righteous people towards the believers, Ali bin Abi Talib, the Imam of guidance, the brave fighter, the avenger of the ignorance of the forerunners, the giver of zakat, the leader of the path of growth and perfection, the speaker of the true and right speech, the brave Meccan and the great believer.
Ibn al-Kawa said: damn you! do you praise Didn’t he cut your hand?
The man replied: Why not praise him when his friendship is mixed with my flesh and blood?! I swear to God, don’t cut off my hand except for what God has ordained.[20]
What do you think?
۱٫ Why did Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) forbid his companions from killing the Khawarij after his martyrdom, while he fought fiercely against this misguided group during his lifetime?
۲٫ Why was the grave of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) hidden for about a hundred years, and no one knew about the imam’s court except the pure imams and their children?
۳٫ Which is the sect that still supports the Leader of the Muslims, Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and considers the Shias to be infidels?
۴٫ Which group does Imam Ali (a.s.) consider as “evil of mankind” (the worst people)? And what kind of blows did they give to Islam during the time of Imam (a.s.) and now?
۵٫ Investigate and strategize about the two groups of enemies of Imam Ali (a.s.), the holy ignorant group and the unrestrained government-seeking group.
This is our opinion…
