Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
All praise be to Allah alone, and all blessings be upon the Chosen Prophet, Muhammad, and his household whom He has chosen
Amir al-Mu’minin, `Ali ibn Abi-Talib (a.s), is a great and peerless personality whose qualities have been recognized by friends and foes alike. None could ever deny his sterling qualities. He was born in a distinguished family of the tribe of Quraysh. He had the singular distinction of taking birth in the holy precincts of the Ka`bah. He first opened his eyes in this world to see the radiant visage of the Prophet (a.s). He grew and received upbringing under the tutelage of the Prophet (a.s). Imam `Ali (a.s) followed the footsteps of his mentor and cousin from his very childhood. He was always with the Prophet (a.s) like a shadow and derived felicity from the company. Imam `Ali (a.s) accomplished the various stages of upbringing and training under the fond and watchful eyes of the Prophet (a.s) His head and heart absorbed the actions and the exemplary character of the Prophet (a.s).The purity of thoughts and excellence of upbringing elevated Imam `Ali (a.s) to such heights that the moon and the stars appear to be at lower elevations!
