Imam Ali(as): . I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him.

Imam Ali's (Pbuh) Martyrdom

 

Imam Ali  [Pbuh] is the first Imam and the successor of the holy prophet. He was stabbed by Ibn-e Moljam Moradi in 40 AH (After Hejra), on Ramadhan 19th. Two days later as a martyr, he began his eternal journey.

Tabari and Abolfaraj Esfahani have mentioned about Imam Ali’s Will in their books. The Will reads:

“ In the Name of God the most Compassionate, the Most Merciful”

This is the Will of Ali Ibn-e Abi Talib. He approves that there is no one just like God who has no counterpart. And Mohammad is his servant and prophet. My Praying, worship, life and death, all is for the sake of God. The one who has no counterpart and is the Lord of two Worlds. I have been assigned in this way and I am one of the Muslims. I recommend that you (Imam Hasan and Imam Hosein) to follow the path of the divine virtue. Never seek for the materialistic needs although they would follow you. Never be upset about the terrestrial items which you lose. Say no words but the right and true ones. At the time of doing something, think of its spiritual reward. Be the enemy to the oppressor and friend to the oppressed. I shall recommend you to follow the path of the divine virtue, to posses the disciplinary manner and self-correcting. Because; The Holy Prophet stated; “The correction among the people is superior than all prayers and fasting”. There is no power except it would be effective through God’s will. Pay attention to your relatives. For God’s Sake be kind to orphans and do not let them be hungry. The Holy Prophet says: “he who adopts an orphan, God definitely takes him/her to the Paradise. And if he / she took advantage of an orphan, God definitely takes him/ her to the Hell”. For God’s sake, pay attention to Quran so that the others would have no chance to take a lead. Pay attention to your neighbors for it is recommended by the Holy Prophet. Consider Ka’ba as long as you live because you must not forget this place. The least expected reward for the one who pilgrimages Ka’ba, is the forgiveness of all his sins, which he had done. Say all your prayers because they are the best of all deeds. Pay alms, for it will immune you from God’s anger. For God’s sake, pay attention to the Holy War and sacrifice your lives and properties in that way. Help the needy and the poor and share what you have among them. Talk to the people so gently (in the way that God has ordered). Avoid exercising animosity, and separation. Help each other on doing good affairs, but not on the evil ones. Be afraid of God, because He exercises the most severe punishments. May God All mighty keep your progeny. I hope God will save you and keep you for, he is the best of keepers and saviors. Greetings and God’s blessing would be upon you.
