In the name of God the compassionate, ever merciful
The followers of Imam Ali (AS) have always been under discrimination ever since he finally began his rule many years after the death of the Prophet (SAWW). As this Moslem yours truly believes, Prophet Mohammad (SAWW) is the last prophet of God, and Imam Ali (AS) is the Leader of the Believers and along with the rest of the divine Imams (AS) are to guide the believers to the right path and my belief will never change.
Centuries of oppression and injustice against the divine Imams (AS) and their followers has left a great deal of anger in the heart of the honorable followers of Ali (AS). This is fully understandable and cannot be questioned.
The event in Karbala was like salt on the wound of these noble people. The unjust, criminal and barbaric acts by the people who murdered the Seyed-Al-Shohada, Imam Hussein (AS) and his followers and their continued oppression against them for the centuries to come has understandably added to this anathema in their hearts. However, the love of Hussain (AS) is in the heart of the followers of Ali (AS) and will remain there for all time.
The followers of Imam Ali (AS) are the most valued followers of the holy Quran and careful to protect themselves against those who are unjust to them, wherever in the world that might be. However they have tried not to allow this built up of anger to cloud their judgment and decisions. So this has indeed made their faith and belief as the most forbearing.
Sureh Aal-e-Imran, Verse #134
“Those who spend (in Allah’s Cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress their anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun.”
Unlike those who oppose the followers of Ali (AS) and who even today continually label them with false accusations like that of idolatry, the amazing repression of anger displayed by the followers of Ali (AS) is yet another reason that had made them to be the best followers of the holy Quran and therefore being truly Al-Muhsinun.
Whenever those providing guidance wanted to warn their friends regarding important matters like Fitna, they had their own most reliable means to get the information regarding that matter. They would not have based that information on whatever they heard from any particular person’s public talk somewhere.
Thank you for reading this.
