REMEMBERING & HONOURING OUR GREAT IMAAM HAZRAT ALI
[Radiyal Laah Anhu]
Hazrat Imaam Ali was the first one from the Holy Prophet’s
[Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] family after Hazrat
Khadijah
[Radiyal Laah Anha]
to embrace Islam and it was at a very young age.
The dearly loved Imaam is the beloved of Rasoolal lāah ﷺ, the soul-mate of Hazrat Lady Fatimah tuz
Zahraa, the Leader of Auliyaa Allaah. He is the father of the flowers of the
Prophet ‘Two Hasans’ [Hazrat Imaam Hasan & Imaam Husaien]. His title
is Haider e Karraar [The Fierce Lion].
He was born in Makkah [Masjid Al-Haram], inside the Holy Kabaah, and none has been blessed with this excellence before him.
He is the Leader of the Believers, the Lion of Allāah, the door to the City of Knowledge and the Conqueror of Khaiebar. Loving him is a sign of faith and gazing and pondering over his excellencies is a means of gaining Allaāh Almighty's closeness.
He is a part of Ahl e Baiet and part of the Khulafaa e Raashidoon. His virtues are as numerous as the grains of sand and the stars of the heavens.
His Sayings…
"How strange and foolish is man. He loses his health in gaining
wealth. Then, to regain his health he wastes his wealth. He ruins his present
while worrying about his future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past".
He lives as though death shall never come to him but dies in a way as if he were never born”.
“Learning is the Glory of mankind. The wise are beacons on the road to the truth.
Man is worth his knowledge, nothing more. The fool will be his inveterate foe. Knowledge is man’s hope of life immortal. Man may die but wisdom will live forever”.
Be like the flower that gives its
fragrance even to the hand that crushes it.
He spent his life bowing before Almighty Allaāh and he was
martyred whilst in prostration [in the masjid] with a poisoned sword.
May Allaah Kareem bless his soul for ever and ever.
Aameen.
