Before starting the main part, I would like to draw the readers\u2019 attention to some points:<\/p>\n<p>It should be borne in mind that discussing certain evidences and documents on Ali Ibn Abi Talib\u2019s Imamate shall not in any way be in contrast with the unity among Muslims because genuine argument and presentation of parties\u2019 reasons and evidences would not harm Muslim Unity. Also, the clear documents and reasons which prove Imam Ali\u2019s (AS) Imamate won\u2019t imply hostility and conflict with other Islamic schools of thought. In Contrast, unlike many superficial viewpoints, the deeper one\u2019s faith in Ali ibn Abi Talib\u2019s (AS) Imamate, the more insistence on the issue of Unity and other religious concepts and principals such as friendship with God\u2019s friends and hostility to God\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the pioneer and leader of unity between the members of the Ummah of Seal of the Prophets (PBUH) after the demise of the Great Prophet of Islam Muhammad (PBUH) was Imam Ali (A.S) himself. In Letter No.78 in Nahjal-Balaghah, we come across a very clear viewpoint of Imam Ali (AS). Addressing Abu Musa Al-Ash\u2019ari in that letter, Imam Ali (A.S) stated: \u201cAnd that there will be no one more eager than me for the unity, unanimity and solidarity among the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and through this enthusiasm and fulfillment of this wish, I am seeking the reward and the glory of destiny.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, the significance of Muslim Unity is not limited to the ones mentioned in this letter and much more can be written on this point.<br \/>\nAuthor: Hashemi Rezvani<\/p>\n<p>Translated by: Sadroddin Musawi<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/13071\/idd-al-ghadir-islamic-historys-greatest-event\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghadir Al-Khumm, the Starting Point for Shia And Sunni Unity: part 1 &nbsp; Firstly, I would like to congratulate the readers on the auspicious occasion of Eid Al-Ghadir.
