Join us in London in celebrating the birth of Imam Ali (as). The event will include a talk by Br. Mohammed Al-Hilli, followed by Anasheed by Mulla Mustafa Naid (TBC) and Mulla Ali Fadhil. "The zeal and virtue of Ali were never outstripped by any recent proselyte. He united the qualifications of a poet, a soldier, and a saint; his wisdom still breathes in a collection of moral and religious sayings; and every antagonist, in the combats of the tongue or of the sword, was subdued by his eloquence and valour. From the first hour of his mission to the last rites of his funeral, the apostle was never forsaken by a generous friend, whom he delighted to name his brother, his vicegerent, and the faithful Aaron of a second Moses." - Edward Gibbon (British historian) |
