Hassan Abbas’s new book is a concise biography of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (with whom Allah was pleased), extensively describing his life and legacy
The fourth caliph of Sunni Islam and first imam of the Shias, Hazrat Ali (with whom Allah was pleased) is the fountainhead of most sufi orders, and after Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is considered to be a model Muslim. From his childhood, right up to his martyrdom on Ramazan 21, 40 AH, his life exemplified the core values of Islam. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, a top Islamic jurist and founder of one of the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence, concluded after decades of deep study and research focusing on historical sources and hadith literature: “No companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) has had attributes and characteristics ascribed to him as those which have been ascribed to Ali ibn Abi Talib.”
