— Nahjul Balagha: Peak of Eloquence
Ali ibn Abi Talib was the fourth Rashidun caliph, ruling from 656 until his assassination in 661, and the first Imam of Shia Islam. A cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, he grew up in Muhammad's household and was among the first to accept his teachings. He married Muhammad's daughter Fatima, served as his secretary and deputy, and carried the flag of his army.
His caliphate was troubled by civil war, from the Battle of the Camel to the Battle of Siffin. He is revered for his courage, honesty and devotion, and for treating all Muslims equally. Sunni Muslims count him as the last of the rightly guided caliphs; Shia Muslims venerate him as Muhammad's rightful successor. His legacy is gathered in many books, the best known being Nahj al-balagha.

Love is an illness which doesn't have good nor recompense.
If one night you see someone committing a sin, tomorrow do not look at him as a sinner. He may have repented during the night and you did not know.
When my prayers are answered, I am happy because it was my wish. When my prayers are not answered, I am even more happy because that was gods wish.
The real Muslim is the one who prefers speaking the truth even when it is ruinous to him over lying even when it benefits him, and who finds inner peace in doing so.
A man's measure is his will.
