Imam Ali `Ibin Abi Talib was the successor to Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon them both. These are some of the views about him by non-Muslims: Simon Ockley (1678-1720) {Professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge.} "One thing particularly deserving to be noticed is that his mother gave birth to him at Mecca, in the very temple (Ka'ba) itself; which never happened to any one else." [History of the Saracens, London, 1894, p. 331] Washington Irving (1783-1859) {Well-known as the first American man of letters.} "He was of the noblest branch of the noble race of Koreish. He possessed the three qualities most prized by Arabs: courage, eloquence, and munificence. His intrepid spirit had gained him from the prophet the appellation of The Lion of God, specimens of his eloquence remain in some verses and sayings preserved among the Arabs; and his munificence was manifested in sharing among others, every Friday, what remained in the treasury. Of his magnanimity, we have given repeated instances; his noble scorn of everything false and mean, and the absence in his conduct of everything like selfish intrigue." [Lives of the Successors of Mahomet, London, 1850, p. 165] Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) {Scottish historian, critic, and sociological writer.} "As for this young Ali, one cannot but like him. A noble-minded creature, as he shows himself, now and always afterwards; full of affection, of fiery daring. Something chivalrous in him; brave as a lion; yet with a grace, truth and affection; worthy of Christian knighthood." [On Heroes and The Heroic In History, 1841, Lecture 2: The Hero as Prophet. Mahomet: Islam., May 8, 1840)] Author: mosaa Keywords: Imam Ali Heider Karar Abul Hassan Islam Shia Prophet Mohammad Fatima Zahra Hussein Sajad Baqir Sadiq Kadhim Ridha Added: July 18, 2008
