Hazrat Imam Ali(a.s) has the only prestige in this universe whose
birth occurred in Holy Kabba While martyrdom also in Holy Home of
Allah (masjid-e-Kufa).
Now a days we are watching attacks on Holy places and masajids by
militants belonging to Takferi ideaology like IS/ISIS ISIL alqaeda ,
Taliban & Takferis (so called muslims groups,actulally Khawreej) this
is the continuity of Khawareej & ummayid dictatorship regime attacks &
terrorisim.The best example is the attack on Hazrat Imam Ali (4th
caliph according to sunni muslims & 1st Imam of shia muslims) in the
premises of masjid-e-Kuffa when He was observing Fajar prayers,But when
this message spread to near by Syria(where ummayid’s
dictatorship was imposed) then the people are asking each other.What
Ali was doing in masjid??when they were told that Ali (a.s) was
observing fajar Prayer or salah.Then they asked again.
Is Ali is observing prayer also??(Nauzobillah)…This was the level of
negative propagation spreaded by dictator regime of Syria against
ammer-ul-momineen & caliph of islam at that time(4th caliph according
to sunni muslims & 1st Imam of shia muslims).
It is worth mentioning that this level of negative propagation was
spreaded by ummayid dictatorship regime paid muftis & Friday prayers
pesh-imams against Holy Prophet(saw)
family{Muhammad-wo-aale-muhammad(saww), by using the name of islam.
The same type of negative propagation and defaming islam globally by
terrorists IS/ISIS alqaeda , Taliban & wahabis (so called muslims groups) as
by Khawareej & ummayid’s dictator regime in history is even continued
in today’s world in the form of succide attacks & attacks on Holy
Places & masjids.Even these al qaeda , Taliban & Takferis (so called
muslims groups) terrorists are using latest media tools of print media
& electronic media with addition to Friday sermons (as used by
ummayid’s dictator regime )to deceive the muslims in the name of
islam.
It is the duty of every
muslims to recognize these enemies of islam like IS ISIS al qaeda , Taliban &
Takferis (so called muslims groups but actullay paid agents of world
oppressors & imperialists ) so that to save world especially Syria
Iraq Afghanistan & our country Pakistan from Ummayid’s & khawareej
brand terrorisim.
UN-Report declaring Hazrat Ali governance as Ideal for Arab Rulers:-
But the dictators regime of
Saudi Arabia(Family of King Saud who converted centuries old Holy
Places named HIJAZ into Family name SAUDI ARAB) are trying to destroy
and hide Holy Places and Miracle of Splitting of Kabba Wall for Hazrat
Ali which is still visible in one of attached Exclusive Picture.
Even the UNDP in its report published twelve years ago (The UNDP in
its 2002 Arab Human Development Report,Link & Details Given Here Plus
attached ) declared Hazrat Ali governance ideal and proposed Arab
Dictators to follow Hazrat Ali otherwise they will face problems & now
same happening after twelve years in form of Arab Spring the public
movements against arab dictators.But the Dictators regime of Arab
countries Especially Takferi of Aale Saud instead of taking Lesson
from this eye opening UN Report started invading and attacking
neigbouring country Yemen with the help of America and Israel even by
killings innocent children and women in this holy month of Ramzan.
Latest Report of World organization like HRW shows that Saudi
Dictators committed war crimes in Yemen as it committed by its
partner Israiel in Plastine.

Knowledge & wisdom of Hazrat Imam Ali(a.s){A sermon without dots]:-
The Prophet Muhammad (saww) said:
I am the house of wisdom and ‘Ali is its door
(Sahih al-Tirmidhi, (Cairo edition), Kitab al-Manaqib, vol. 5, p. 637,
hadith number 3723)
While hazrat Imam Ali(a.s) proudly says that “I am the slave of the
salve of Holy Prophet hazrat Muhammad(saww)”
The knowledge, wisdom and eloquence of Imam ‘Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s) is
well known among Muslims of all schools of thought. One such example
of his mastery over the Arabic language manifested itself in this
extempore sermon which, in its written form, is devoid of any dots !!
All praise be to Allah: the praised King, the affectionate Owner, the
Fashioner of all who are born, the Recourse for every downtrodden, the
Outstretcher of lands, the Establisher of firm mountains, the Sender
of rain, the Alleviator of difficulties, the Knower and Perceiver of
secrets, the Destroyer of kingdoms and Perisher of possessions, the
Renewer of eras and their Repetitor, the Source of all things and
their Destination. Widespread is His generosity and sufficient are
the layered clouds and the supply of rain. He responds to the one who
asks or hopes, giving wide and with abundance.
I praise Him endlessly. I consider Him one as He is considered one by
those who turn to Him. Lo! He is Allah, there is no god for the
nations except Him. No one can distort what He set upright and
established. He sent Muhammad as the standard-bearer of submission
(Islam), the leader for the rulers and preventer of their oppression,
The crippler of the authorities of Wudd and Sawa` (two idols). He
informed and educated, appointed and perfected. He founded the
fundamentals and eased them in. He emphasized the appointed promise
(Day of Judgment) and forewarned. Allah has linked him with honor and
granted his soul the peace, and may Allah have mercy on his progeny
and his venerated family; as long as the guiding stars shine, the
crescent continues to rise, and the chant of the oneness (La ilaha
illa Allah) is made to be heard around.
May God protect ye! Work towards the best of deeds. So tread the path
seeking the lawful, and give up the forbidden and abandon it. Listen
to the command of Allah and be aware of it. Maintain the ties with
relations and nurture them. Disobey desires and repel them. Bond as
kins with the righteous and pious, and discontinue the company of
amusement and greed.
Your groom is the most impeccable of free men by birth, most generous
and honorable with glories, and of the sweetest of descent. Here he
came to you, took your kin with permission, in marriage, the gracious
bride. Offered a dowry, just as the Messenger of Allah did to Umm
Salamah. Certainly, he [s] was the most gracious son-in-law. Kind to
his progeny. He gave them in marriage to whom he wanted. He was
neither confused in his choice of wife nor had an oversight.
I ask Allah, on your behalf, for the lasting graciousness of His
connection. And the continuation of His pleasures, and that He may
inspire all: the reform of their own condition, and the preparation
for their individual destiny and the hereafter. Gratitude is for Him
forever and the praise for His Messenger Ahmad [s].
This sermon appered in following Books & history(Refrence):-
q Muhammad Rida al-Hakimi, Saluni qabl an tafqiduni, vol. 2, pp. 442-3.
q Sayyid al-Musawi, al-Qatarah min bihar manaqib Aal-Nabi wa
al-`Itrah, vol. 2, p. 179
q Hasun al-Dulafi, Fada’il Aal al-Rasul, p. 6
What is so special about this sermon?
Those who know Arabic or can at least read the Qur’anic script will
appreciate that certain letters of the Arabic alphabet have dots
associated with them. These letters are listed below and are used all
the time in Arabic speech and written texts.
ب ت ث ج خ ذ ز ش ض ظ غ ف ق ي
To create any written script of any meaningful nature, without using
any of these letters, is a difficult task. To deliver such a sermon
without prior preparation, as Imam ‘Ali (a) is known to have done with
all his sermons, is truly amazing!
[Note: The letter representing taa marbutah used to be written
without dots in early Arabic script]
Are there any other such sermons?
Imam ‘Ali (a) once delivered another beautiful sermon which was
without the letter alif !!
This letter of the Arabic alphabet is undoubtedly the most commonly
occurring character in the language. If composing a few meaningful
sentences without dots is hard enough, how about delivering a sermon,
one which is full of wisdom and which is many times the size of the
one you have just seen, but without ever using a single alif !!
This sermon is usually called al-Khutbah al-Muniqah and is recorded by
many Muslim scholars. Amongst the Sunni scholars who quote it can be
mentioned:
q Muhammad b. Muslim al-Shafi’i, Kifayat al-Talib, p. 248
q Ibn Abi’l Hadid al-Mu’tazili, Sharh Nahj al-Balaghah, vol. 19, p. 140
How could Imam ‘Ali (a.s) accomplish such a feat?
Imam ‘Ali (a) derived his vast knowledge and striking eloquence by
virtue of his long and close association with the Prophet Muhammad
(s). The Prophet (s), with Divine inspiration, was the source of all
such knowledge and wisdom and a teacher par excellence for Imam ‘Ali
(a
What Non-Muslims Say About ‘Ali, :- (Peace and Blessings be Upon him)
God thus makes clear his signs to you that you may understand (Holy
Qur’an 2:242)
Imam ‘Ali bin Abi Talib(a.s) was the successor to Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon them both. This is a collection of short quotations
about him from a wide variety of notables belonging to other faiths,
including academics, writers, philosophers, poets, politicians, and
activists.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881). Scottish historian, critic, and
sociological writer.
q “As for this young Ali, one cannot but like him. A
noble-minded creature, as he shows himself, now and always afterwards;
full of affection, of fiery daring. Something chivalrous in him;
brave as a lion; yet with a grace, a truth and affection worthy of
Christian knighthood.” [On Heroes, Hero-Worship, And The Heroic In
History, 1841, Lecture 2: The Hero as Prophet. Mahomet: Islam., May 8,
1840)]
Edward Gibbon (1737-1794). Considered the greatest British historian
of his time.
q “The zeal and virtue of Ali were never outstripped by any
recent proselyte. He united the qualifications of a poet, a soldier,
and a saint; his wisdom still breathes in a collection of moral and
religious sayings; and every antagonist, in the combats of the tongue
or of the sword, was subdued by his eloquence and valour. From the
first hour of his mission to the last rites of his funeral, the
apostle was never forsaken by a generous friend, whom he delighted to
name his brother, his vicegerent, and the faithful Aaron of a second
Moses.”[The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, London, 1911, volume
5, pp. 381-2]
Philip Khuri Hitti (1886-1978) Professor of Semitic Languages at
Princeton University
q “Valiant in battle, wise in counsel, eloquent in speech, true
to his friends, magnanimous to his foes, he became both the paragon of
Muslim nobility and chivalry (futuwah) and the Solomon of Arabic
tradition, around whose name poems, proverbs, sermonettes and
anecdotes innumerable have clustered.” [History of the Arabs, London,
1964, p. 183]
Sir William Muir (1819 – 1905) Scottish scholar and statesman. Held
the post of Foreign Secretary to the Indian government as well as
Lieutenant Governor of the Northwestern Provinces.
q “Endowed with a clear intellect, warm in affection, and
confiding in friendship, he was from the boyhood devoted heart and
soul to the Prophet. Simple, quiet, and unambitious, when in after
days he obtained the rule of half of the Moslem world, it was rather
thrust upon him than sought.”[The Life of Mahomet, London, 1877, p.
250]
Dr. Henry Stubbe (1632-1676) Classicist, polemicist, physician, and
philosopher.
q “He had a contempt of the world, its glory and pomp, he feared
God much, gave many alms, was just in all his actions, humble and
affable; of an exceeding quick wit and of an ingenuity that was not
common, he was exceedingly learned, not in those sciences that
terminate in speculations but those which extend to practice.” [An
Account of the Rise and Progress of Mahometanism, 1705, p. 83]
Gerald de Gaury (1897 – 1984) A distinguished soldier and diplomat.
q “He had been wise in counsel and brave in battle, true to his
friends and magnanimous to his foes. He was to be for ever the
paragon of Muslim nobility and chivalry.”[Rulers of Mecca, London,
1951, p. 49]
Wilferd Madelung Professor of Arabic at Oxford University
q “In face of the fake Umayyad claim to legitimate sovereignty
in Islam as God’s Vicegerents on earth, and in view of Umayyad
treachery, arbitrary and divisive government, and vindictive
retribution, they came to appreciate his honesty, his unbending
devotion to the reign of Islam, his deep personal loyalties, his equal
treatment of all his supporters, and his generosity in forgiving his
defeated enemies.” [The succession to Muhammad: a study of the early
caliphate, Cambridge, 1997, pp. 309-310]
Charles Mills (1788 – 1826) Leading historical writer of his time.
q “As the chief of the family of Hashem and as the cousin and
son-in-law of him whom the Arabians respected …, it is apparently
wonderful that Ali was not raised to the Caliphate immediately on the
death of Mohammad. To the advantages of his birth and marriage was
added the friendship of the Prophet. The son of Abu Talib was one of
the first converts to Islamism and Mohammad’s favourite appellation of
his was the Aaron of a second Moses. His talents as an orator, and
his intrepidity as a warrior, were grateful to a nation in whose
judgement courage was virtue and eloquence was wisdom.”[An history of
Muhammedanism, London, 1818, p. 89]
Simon Ockley (1678-1720) Professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge.
q “One thing particularly deserving to be noticed is that his
mother was delivered of him at Mecca, in the very temple itself; which
never happened to any one else.”[History of the Saracens, London,
1894, p. 331]
Washington Irving (1783-1859) Well-known as the “first American man
of letters”.
q “He was of the noblest branch of the noble race of Koreish.
He possessed the three qualities most prized by Arabs: courage,
eloquence, and munificence. His intrepid spirit had gained him from
the prophet the appellation of The Lion of God, specimens of his
eloquence remain in some verses and sayings preserved among the Arabs;
and his munificence was manifested in sharing among others, every
Friday, what remained in the treasury. Of his magnanimity, we have
given repeated instances; his noble scorn of everything false and
mean, and the absence in his conduct of everything like selfish
intrigue.”[Lives of the Successors of Mahomet, London, 1850, p. 165]
q “He was one of the last and worthiest of the primitive
Moslems, who imbibed his religious enthusiasm from companionship with
the Prophet himself, and followed to the last the simplicity of his
example. He is honourably spoken of as the first Caliph who accorded
some protection to Belles-Lettres. He indulged in the poetic vein
himself, and many of his maxims and proverbs are preserved, and have
been translated in various languages. His signet bore this
inscription: ‘The kingdom belongs to God’. One of his sayings shows
the little value he set upon the transitory glories of this world,
‘Life is but the shadow of a cloud – the dream of a sleeper’.”[Lives
of the Successors of Mahomet, London, 1850, pp. 187-8]
Robert Durey Osborn (1835-1889) Major of the Bengal Staff Corps.
q “With him perished the truest hearted and best Moslem of whom
Mohammadan history had preserved the remembrance.”[Islam Under the
Arabs, 1876, p. 120]
