About Imam Ali
Imam Ali is the first Imam in a chain of Twelve Imams.
He was a peerless mystic master who publicly and privately practiced highest
level of abstinence from material comforts. He was regarded as one of the
earliest spiritual masters and held as the first link after the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.)
Imam Ali (a.s.) wanted
to govern his people with a difference. Much more can be learnt from Nahjul
Balagha (Peak of Eloquence). Among all
the seventy-eight letters of Imam Ali (a.s.), some particular letter occupies a
unique significance for the reasons of its length and clarity of purpose,
notwithstanding the beauty of language and style.
Imam Ali’s (a.s.) ideas
relating to matters of governance and the administration of justice do not just
reflect his personal opinions. These ideas represent core Islamic principles as
enshrined in the Quran and the precepts of the Prophet.
About Nahjul Balagha
Nahjul Balagha contains
masterpiece sermons, letters and sayings of Imam Ali (a.s.). In it, there are
sections on army, administration of justice, executive officers, clerical
establishments, traders and the commoners - all of whom speak of his deep
insight.
