Shortest sentence about Imam Ali

Khalil Ben Ahmed AlFarahidi is one of the top Arabic language and literature scholars. Once, he was asked: Why you have not ever written a poem about Imam Ali (as)?He answered: What can I say about a man whose enemies have hidden his moralities because of their hate towards him. – and his lovers have hidden his moralities because of being scared of them (enemies). Amongst that all, there are moralities for him that have filled the east and the west.” 

Faithful Beliefs

A man went to visit a sick and very religious scholar, he found him in a very amusing and good mood; the scholar was thanking Allah as if no harm has reached him and he wasn't feeling any pain. The man asked:" Do you want for God to heal you ?" The scholar replied:" NO." The man said :" Do you want to stay sick ?" The scholar replied:" NO." The man said: "What do you want then?" The scholar replied:" I want what God wants."

Proving the Existence of Allah

A well known scholar Sheik Ahmad AL_Shiraz ( May God bless his soul with mercy)meditated away from others  to write a book to prove the existence of Allah. His seven year old son approached him one day and asked why did he need to meditate far from others to read and write. The scholar did not respond assuming the son is too young to understand and it would take such a long time to explain the process to him. However, the son insisted on an answer. Then , the sheik told his son that he needed to write a book to prove the existence of Allah. The young boy was in shock and exclaimed that tracks that people and animals leave on the ground lead to inform us of them passing by, how can someone as great as Allah , so far and merciful yet so close and reachable need a proof of existence? How can there be doubt of the existence of the originator of the skies and earth? 

If it happens That Is Fine , If It Doesn't It Doesn't

Sheik Mohamad Hassan Karnati ( may God protect him ) says, I was going one day on a mission and I wanted with all my heart and will for my mission to be completed as I wish; I was so insisting up to a point that if my wish was not granted  I was going to be very disappointed and emotionally stressed.. As I was sitting in the car nervously waiting to arrive at my destination, I read the following phrase on the car in front of us : If it happens it happens , it doesn't it doesn't. At the moment I calmed myself down by knowing how true that statement was, I said to myself I should give into Allah completely and what he wishes shall happen, as matter affect I shall want what He wants. Why should I make my life , the life of my family and those around me miserable if I don't achieve my goal? After all, God says in his Holy Book ( Surat Al Nissa'a) :" And you won't want unless God wants , For He is the most knowledgeable and wise." Don't we read in the supplication of Iftitah :" Maybe the one who has postponed my goal from being achieved is for my own benefit"; don't we also read :" God treat us as you wish not as we wish  then, the truth is in that phrase: If ti happens it happens it doesn't it doesn't "; . 

Then , I finished my trip calm and convinced of wanting what God wants, depending on him and knowing that he will provide what is best for me, satisfied with whatever He chooses the outcome for my mission to be . Therefore, many of the Muslims around the world who suffer from nervousness and lack of satisfaction and happiness with their lives should depend on God only and know that He only chooses what is best for them, and depend solely on him and be satisfied with his choices regardless of the outcome.

One of the Actions of Love

The complete submission of love for someone else requires a lot of hardship and suffering for the sake of the loved one. The submission of love for ahlul Al beit ( Prophet Mohamad and his family) is one of the dearest feelings to the hearts of their loyal lovers. One way that shows complete love and adoring of ahlul al beit is by walking from the shrine of Imam Ali ( A.S.)in Najaf to the shrine of Imam AL-Reda ( A.S.) in Iran ;the great scholar Sayid Abd al Aala al Sabzawari( Mercy Be Upon his soul)  walked this distance when he was in his twenties; he also walked from the shrine of Imam Ali (A.S.) in Najaf  towards the shrine of Imam Hussein ( A.S.) in Karbala.
