Overview

First Published in 1988 in Arabic, this book is now available in English ""What has been said about his virtues, qualities, knowledge, bravery, generosity, forbearance, good character, asceticism, worship, and eloquence surpasses what has been said about any other human, except for the Prophet (SAW) who said about Ali ""This is my brother, my successor, and my deputy among you."" After the Prophet, Imam Ali (AS) is considered the most significant figure in Islam and the greatest in terms of encompassing apprehension, faith, belief, knowledge, and action. In our current era, if Muslims wish to unite and converge on common ground, they have no way but to return to the words of Allah Almighty and the Sunnah of the greatest Prophet, and to apply and embody those teachings based on a guiding human standard and to follow that. Imam Ali is the highest and best example of applying the divine program and elevating the human soul to the status of vicegerency and proximity. Following Ali and emulating him is essential if we truly love Allah and His Messenger. Proper emulation is connected to proper knowledge, and that's why we must first get to know the Commander of the Faithful. This book presents various aspects of the Imam's biography in a concise and simplified manner, focusing on certain historical, moral, and educational facets. This is to clarify the features of the comprehensive Islamic character that was embodied in Ali. He is the loyal seeker, the true brother, the brave man, the husband, the father, the minister, the caliph, the successor, the warrior, the politician, the economist, the president, the leader, and every role imposed by society and life on a person interacting with the temporal natural factors."" From the Foreword by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri
