A first cousin of the Muhammad (pbuh), Imam Ali was constantly at the side of the Prophet, learnt from him, and also married his daughter Fatima. The Prophet famously declared of Imam Ali: 'I am the city of knowledge, and Ali is its gate'. Many of Imam 'Ali's sayings and letters were accurately remembered and recorded during his lifetime. The Sayings & Wisdom of Imam Ali is a selection of this great man's sayings gathered together from authentic and reliable sources and arranged into easily accessible sections by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri. The material was collated by him in the original Arabic and has been carefully translated into modern English so as to remain true to the intended meaning of the original Arabic text." "Offering us penetrating insight into the human condition and the way of noble conduct, Imam Ali's wisdom nourishes and guides us to follow our higher, divinely inspired nature, ensuring our salvation in this life and the next."

Contributor Bio(s): Haeri, Shaykh Fadhlalla: - Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri is a spiritual philosopher and writer whose role as a teacher grew naturally out of his own quest for self-fulfilment. Since childhood he has been attracted to scientific investigation and intellectual pursuit. He was born in Karbala, Iraq, and is a descendant of several generations of well-known and revered spiritual leaders. After a stint in industry and consulting, he embarked on teaching, writing and meditating. His awareness of global realpolitik compelled him to seek a truth that would reconcile the past with the present, the East and West. His discovery affirms that One Cosmic Reality is the source behind all known and unknown states. Shaykh Haeri's unifying perspective emphasises practical, actionable knowledge of self-transformation. It provides a natural bridge between different approaches to spirituality, offering common ground of higher knowledge for various religions, sects and secular outlooks. His main work has been to make traditional Islamic teachings more comprehensible and widely available to the modern seeker through courses and publications. Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri is currently engaged in lecturing and writing books and commentaries on the Holy Qur'an and related subjects, with particular emphasis on ethics, self-development and gnosis ('irfan). With a lifetime's experience of contemplation, research, and insights, he shares what it means to live in the light of the Absolute in a relative world and maintains that spiritual awakening is potentially available to all.
