What we have not heard from #Ali (AS):
When the people, after the murder of Osman, asked him to become the ruler with strong and unprecedented insistence, he said: Leave me and go to someone else.
It was not the case that he considered the government as his God-given right and considered its formation as his shari’a duty and took advantage of every opportunity. .
@khaliliim
He was the first one who became the ruler with the decisive vote of the people. After being elected, he did not tell the people to go home and be obedient.
He said: Stay on stage and comment and criticize that I am not safe from mistakes unless God is watching over me.
Many times in his speeches, he considered criticizing the ruler as the religious duty of the people. !
Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas did not accept the legitimacy of his government and did not swear allegiance, he did not destroy the house on his head, he did not confine him in his house, and he did not even speak against him.
@khaliliim
Talha and Zubair came to him and asked him for a position, but he refused.
A few days later, Talha and Zubair left Madinah with the intention of Mecca and preparing for the Battle of Jamal (against Ali)!
Ali said to them, where are you going?! They lied, Ali said, I know you are going to fight with me!
However, he did not imprison them. Political prisoner had no meaning for Ali.
@khaliliim
On the day of Jamal, the first army shot at the front and killed a soldier.
His friends said to start. He said no and raised his head to the sky and said: “Allahum Ashhad” (God, be witness).
The opposing corps shot the second arrow and killed his second soldier.
The friends said to start. He again disagreed and raised his head to the sky and said, “Allah, I am a witness.”
When they shot the third arrow and killed the third soldier, he raised his head to the sky and said, “God, bear witness that we did not start” then he drew his sword.
He was not adventurous or belligerent.
@khaliliim
After the Battle of Jamel, he cried over Talha’s body and said to her, “I wish I had died twenty years ago and I would not have seen you lying on the ground and under the sky.”
He even kept the sanctity of his enemy’s Jihad history.
Then he went to see Ayesha and endured her harsh words and asked her how she was, then escorted her with 40 armed women in veils (like warrior men!) and returned her to her homeland.
It was like this with women, even criminals who had committed armed acts against national security.
@khaliliim
Don’t call those who fought with him as enemies, hypocrites, seditionists, and anti-provinces.
He said: Our Muslim brothers are the ones who wronged us!!! .
During the Caliphate, he entrusted all the treasuries of the vast land of Islam to the hands of Iranians. He said that Iranians were pure people before Islam.
@khaliliim
When he became caliph and went to one of the cities to rebel, he warned the people who followed his horse on foot and followed him with a shout and said, I am a human like you, go to your work and life and just bow before God.
@khaliliim
When the caliph was one of the largest empires in the world at that time, he had a dispute with a Christian person and the matter was entrusted to a judge. He did not want to force his words to sit on the chair. In court, because the judge called him respectfully and looked at him more, he got angry and said that I and a Christian should not be different for you, fear God and observe justice. Since Ali had no evidence to support his claim, the judge ruled in favor of the Christian and Ali accepted this ruling.
@khaliliim
He saw a blind man begging. He said why don’t you reach him and help him? They said he was a Christian. He said that when he was sighted and working for you, you didn’t talk about his religion, now he has become a Christian?!!!
He decided to give him money from the Muslim treasury every month so that he does not have to beg. !
#Ali should be recognized by his performance and not by his superstitions.
Ali was just Ali.
