Dedication
To the pioneer of wisdom and social justice in the earth,
To the thinking mind of humanity,
To the guardian of the Messenger of Allah (blessing and peace be upon him), his companion and friend Ameerul Mo’mineen, peace be on him,
I offer, with all pride and faith, this humble work that I have had the honor of studying the life of his grandson Imam Ali al-Hadi (peace be upon him), the renovator of Islam, hoping it will be accepted to be a supply to me on the day when I shall meet my Lord.
The Author
Introduction
We are before an imam of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) who filled the world with their virtues and sciences, devoted their lives to Allah, and were loyal to the truth in the full sense of loyalty. He is the tenth imam; Ali al-Hadi (a.s.) whose name is like his grandfather’s; Ameerul Mo’mineen (a.s.), the pioneer of wisdom and social justice in the earth. Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) was like his grandfather in asceticism and in giving his back to the material pleasures. It was never mentioned that he had followed any fancy or submitted to any desire that was away from the truth. He had preferred the obedience of Allah to everything else. He was so fond of his Lord that he spent his nights worshipping, supplicating, and invoking Allah the Almighty.
