When Imam Ali (as) punished them for corruption or wrongdoings, or when they felt that the unwavering rule of justice is going to snatch from them of what they have amassed unjustly and illegally, they rose against the Imam and joined the ranks in Damascus with Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan.

We have to think that when our Imam (as) did not show any leniency towards his own blood relatives or friends in terms of administering justice, then, what good we have in ourselves that we’ll be let go away with injustice in our lives and in our acts? The Ali of this age is alive and is waiting to receive the order from His Lord to reappear. He (may Allah hasten his reappearance) will also do what his grandfather Imam Ali (as) did: no compromise in administering justice.

Before we shout loud slogans of Ali…Ali.., we should think seriously and ponder on the fact that how much justice we can accept against our own selves. People before us left Ali of their age because they could not bear justice against their selves. Are we really ready to welcome Ali of our age? NOTES: 1. Thawab al-A’mal: 310/1; Bihar al-Anwar: 72/345/42 , as quoted in Imam Ali’s (as) Book of Government by Ayatullah Muhammadi Rayshahri 2.
