The martyr of the month of Ramadan-3

In the previous posts we mentioned very briefly some parts of the life of Imam Ali peace be upon him, a man who was born in the house of Allah i.e. in Kaba in the city of Mecca and got martyr in the month of Allah i.e. the month of Ramadan and in the house of Allah i.e. the mosque of the city of Kufa in Iraq. In this post we want to mention a drop from the ocean of the values of this great personality according to what the Prophet of Islam said. There are many Narrations from the Prophet in which Imam Ali is mentioned as a very unique personality and these Narrations are found in both Shia and Sunni sources. So let’s see some of them.

The holy Prophet said:

The one, who wants to look at Prophet Adam and his knowledge and to Prophet Noah and his piety and to Prophet Abraham and his patience and to Prophet Moses and his chant and to Prophet Jesus and his worship, must look at Ali. (Meaning Imam Ali has all of their good attributes)

The holy Prophet of Islam defined Imam Ali as the gate of knowledge. He said:

I am the city of knowledge and Ali is the gate of that, so the one, who wants knowledge, must come from its door.

Also the Prophet said the following sayings:

-O Ali, you are the leader of the Muslims.

-I and Ali are the fathers of this nation.

-O Ali, you are my brother in this world and in the hereafter.

-Every Prophet has a successor and heir and Ali is my successor and heir.

-Allah created Ali from my light.

-Ali is the leader of the good doers.

-O Ali, you and your companions will be in Paradise.

-O Ali, if you were not, the believers would not be known after me.

-O Ali, Allah decorated you with His ornament.

-Ali is with righteousness and righteousness is with Ali.

-O Ali, your position to me is like the position of Aaron (the brother of Prophet Moses) to Moses except that there is not any prophet after me.

– Of whomsoever I am the master, then Ali is his master.

-Ali is with the Quran and the Quran is with Ali.

-O Ali, you are my stand bearer in this world and in the hereafter.

– O Ali, you are the straight path.

– Ali and his followers are the prosperous.

-The hit (of the sword) of Ali on the day of the war of Khandaq is better than the worships of humans and Jins.

And many other Narrations that dear brothers and sisters can find in the books of different branches of Islam.
