Publishers'' Note
The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali, peace be
on him, is the most distinguished personality of Islam after
Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be on him. His
entire life is the life of struggle for the advancement of
Islam. He was a great combatant, a great judge, a great
philanthropist and the most pious person of his time.
Much has been written and continues to be written
about the life, character and attributes of Imam Ali.
The present book is an English translation of Sautu''l
Adalati''l Insaniyab, the biography of the Imam, written in
Arabic by George Jordac, a renowned Christian author of
lebanon. It has gained much popularity in the Arab and
the Muslim world. Many Muslim and non-Muslim scholars
have paid it glowing tributes.
The author is an enlightened man of letters and has
written the book with perfect sincerity. However, at times,
he has said things which do not accord with the facts of
history. In such cases necessary clarification has been made
in the foot-notes and at places some paragraphs have
been deleted altogether.
Keeping in view the usefulness and popularity of the
Arabic version of this book, the Islamic Seminary is
presenting the English version for the English knowing
readers. It is hoped that this book will enlighten the mind
of our conscientious young generation and will inspire it
to form an Islamic social order.
