PART TWO
INTRODUCTION
In this part of our study of the life of Amir
Al-Mu'minin Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.) we shall
concentrate on looking at a more delicate period of his
role after the death of the Messenger of Allah
(s.a.w.).This is the period of his Caliphate, undertaking
the nation's direct leadership in diverse aspects of
Islamic life.This time is distinguished by events of utmost
importance, especially in the fields of thought, society
and politics, as we shall see.Islamic history, within the five years of Imam Ali's
(a.s.) rule over the Muslims, witnessed two kinds of
events:
The first concerns those high values which he
registered in the records of history of humanity. The
values which distinguished the virtuous policy adopted by
him in administering Allah's great laws and regulations,
in their complete forms, with no falsifications, no
intemperance, and no false-resolutions, in all aspects of
life.The second concerns the political reactions of some
people which have also been recorded by Islamic history.In this section, you will read a chapter about Amir
Al-Mu'minin (a.s.) striving to bring back the organs of
the state to their real responsibilities of protecting
the Message of Allah, the Exalted, of establishing its
limitations in life, and of offering whatever advice and
directives which lead to a man's happiness by building
his personality and fortifying it.
You will also learn of Imam Ali's (a.s.) role in
confronting the Nakithun (those who broke their
allegiances to him), the Qasitun (those who deviated),
and the Mariqun (those who missed the truth of the
religion).During this part of his life, Imam Amir AI-Mu'minin Ali
(a.s.), erected monuments of social justice, which he
personified in actual social reality by his humane
practices in strict adherence to the laws of Allah, the
Most High.
We invoke Allah, the Exalted, to help our Islamic
nation in their practical life through complete adherence
to the Book of Allah and the traditions of His generous
Messenger (s.a.w.) as had been incarnated in Imam Ali Abi
Talib (a.s.).
