His words are light upon light.. no matter how much time passes .. his words fit to the areas of our lives we need advice in.. may Allah swt bless Imam Ali as and his Shi’a followers .. may Allah swt bless those who recognized his right and listened to RasoulAllah to take Imam Ali as their imam .. and may Allah swt curse those that oppressed RasoulAllah , Imam Ali as, Fatima Zahra as, Imam Hassan wa Imam Hussain as, and all of the ahlul bayt. May Allah swt bless them and those that love them out of love for Allah swt. Your on the true path.
