All praise be to Allah, the One and Only,who does not have apartner; the Peerless, the Needless, who has no like; the First, the Ever-Existent, who has no limit; the Last and the Everlasting who has no end; the Existing, the Constant, who has no non-existence; the Eternal King, who does not decline; the Power who is not weakened; the All-Knowing from who nothing can be hidden; the Alive but not with life; the One who Exists, but who is not confined to place; the All-Hearing and the All-Seeing, who has no ears and eyes; the One who ordered with justice, punished with favor,and commanded with bounty,but not to trap people under His Command. Thereisnorejecter to His Judgment, no challenger to His Decision, and no subduer to His Will. And His Command, when He intended anything, is only that He saith unto it “Be,” and then it is.
Therefore, hallowed be He in whose Hand is the kingdom of all things, and unto His is the return and final arrival. And Ibear witness that thereisnogod but Allah. The Master of the Universe, and Ibear witness that Muhammad () in His Servant and His Messenger,the Masterofthe Prophets (of Allah) and the Best of all His Creation.And Ibear witness that Ali ibnAbu Talib (AS), is the Master of the Appointed Guardians, and Commander of the Pious and Leader of the People with Radiant Foreheads. And Ibear witness that the Imams (AS) from
8
his Progeny after him arethe Proofs of Allah to the Day of Judgement; may the blessings and salutations of Allah be upon them all.
In thehallowed annals of Islamic history,thereexists a figurewhoselegacy transcends the bounds of time and space, casting aluminous glow upon the hearts of believers for generationstocome. This figureisnone other than Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) —the Lion of God, the Gate of Knowledge, and the epitome of righteousness.
It is with profound reverence and unwavering dedication that Iembark upon the journey of penning this book, seeking to unravel the enigmatic tapestry of Imam Ali's life and legacy. Fortoo long, the true essence of this noble soul has been shrouded in ambiguity and misconception, obscured by the passage of time and the tumult of history. It is my fervent hope that through these pages, Imay illuminate the path to understanding and unveil the profound wisdom and unparalleled virtue of Imam Ali.
The impetus behind this endeavor is rooted in a deep-seated desiretorectify the historical record and reclaim the rightful place of Imam Ali as the rightful successor to the Prophet Muhammad ().Throughout the annals of Islamic history,Imam Ali has been unjustly
9
marginalized and his contributions to Islam often overshadowed by the deeds of others. It is incumbent upon us, as seekers of truth, to rectify this historical injustice and pay homage to the towering figureofImam Ali.
Moreover,inanage rife with discord and division, the teachings of Imam Ali offer abeacon of hope and asource of solace for those who seek guidance in turbulent times. His unwavering commitment to justice, his boundless compassion for the downtrodden, and his unyielding devotion to the principles of Islam serve as atimeless testament to the enduring power of faith and righteousness.
As Iembark upon this literary odyssey,Idosowith asense of profound humility and adeep-seated reverence for the subject matter at hand. It is my sincerest hope that this book may serve as asource of inspiration for generations to come, igniting the flames of devotion and reverence for Imam Ali in the hearts of believers around the world.
In the words of the great Persian poet Rumi, "Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray." With these sentiments guiding my pen, Iset forth on this sacred quest, prepared to delve into the depths of history and unravel the timeless wisdom of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS).

1. Imam Ali– From the womb of theKaabahe emerged
14
Imam Ali(AS)was borninMecca Al-Mukarramah, inside the Sacred Houseand within theKaaba, on thethirteenth Friday of the monthofRajab in theyearthirtyofthe Elephant,twenty-threeyears before themigration. No one hasbeen borninthe Sacred House before him. This is avirtuebestowedupon himbyAllah Almighty, as asignofreverence forhim,elevatinghis status andmanifesting Hisgenerosity.
It is narratedbyYazidibn Qa'nab that he said:"Iwas sitting with Abbasibn Abdul-Muttalib anda group fromthe Banu Abdal-Aziz opposite theSacred HousewhenFatimah bint Asad,the mother of theCommanderofthe Faithful (AS),approached.She waspregnant with himfor nine months,and labor painshad seized her. Shesaid: 'O Lord,I believeinYou andinwhathas come from Youof messengers andscriptures. Iaffirmthe wordsofmygrandfather Ibrahim, theFriend(AS), whobuilt theAncient House. By theright of theone whobuilt this house, andbythe right of thechild in my womb,I askfor an easy delivery.'"
Yazidcontinued: "I sawthe Kaabasplit from its back,and Fatimah enteredit. Shedisappeared from our sight,and theKaabareturnedto its normalstate,with itswalls closed tight.Weattemptedtoopenthe door,but it wouldn'tbudge.Weunderstood that this wasa matter decreed by AllahAlmighty. Then,onthe fourth day, Fatimah emerged, carryingAli ibnAbi Talib (AS) in herarms.1

Al-Bashirhurried to AbuTalib andhis household, andtogether they rushed forwardwithjoyous faces.Among them,Muhammad Al-Mustafa () advanced,embraced thechild to hischest,and carried himtothe houseofAbu Talib –inwhich theprophet( ) waslivingtogether with hiswifeKhadija,their daughter Fatimah al-Zahraaand hisuncle AbuTalib,since hismarriage. AbuTalib felt compelledtonamehis son'Ali,'and so he did. AbuTalib hosteda banquetincelebrationofthe blessedbirth andsacrificed many animals.2
Ali'sarrivalonthisearthly planewas no ordinary event; it wasa manifestationofdivineprovidence. Thesacred atmosphere of Mecca, with theKaabaasits heart, witnessedthe birthofthe cousin andson-in-law of theProphetMuhammad( ), asoul destined for greatness within thefolds of Islam.
Hailing from theesteemedBanuHashim, Ali's(AS)familytree intertwinedwith that of theProphet( ), creatinga sacred bond that transcendedmerekinship.His father,Abu Talib, aparagon of virtue andhonor,ensured that Ali'supbringing wassteeped in the values of justice, compassion, anddevotiontoAllah (ﷻ).
Ali's(AS)early yearswereprofoundlyshapedbythe nurturing care of hisuncle,Abu Talib,and thespiritual guidanceofthe Prophet Muhammad( ). From histenderest age, Aliwas envelopedinthe 2 (Bihar al-Anwar:35/18)
