Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Masterpieces of Rhetoric Methood (nahj Al-balagha) The Cosmic Justice and What Ali Represents of It the Equivalence in Existence Ali felt that this great cosmos is cooperating, Vouching, one aspect of that is when the wind rises it moves the twigs powerfully, and when it Rises it plucks out the trees and the elements would arouse for it; and when it falls and flew over the land lightly, the surfaces of water would be intoxicated and things, below them, would quiet he also realized that comprehensive power of existence cultivates straws of plant with a law by which it cultivates grean leaves and plant which flattened over its stem and swayed for the wind.

Ibn Abi Talib overthrew the merchants’ theory by a speech he has taken from the soul of existence, as if he is participating by it the cosmos in expressing what is in his conscience!

A man Casts one sight at the outer cosmos and its states: the fixed stars in the immensity of existence, the swimming planets in the horizons of eternity, the rising sun, the casual cloud, the hastening wind, the mountains rising, and the seas brittled by shells or on whose faces the night lain down – all this is enough to be confident that the cosmos has a law, and its conditions have a code as well, both of which lie under the senses and exist with every measure.

One sight a man casts at what surrounds him of close nature and its states: at the summer as its heat increases and its wind falls, the autumn whose forests dispirited and whose winds wail alternately and whose horizons of sky frown, the winter when its atmospheres thunder and disturbed with flashes, and its rains burst forth with waves crowded with waves and whose clouds mingle so that they even conceal, the signs of the earth and the sky, the spring which steetches the world with dewy horizons, rich rivers, cultivation, water and coloured paradises all this is enough for a man to be confiedent that this nature has a law, its conditions have a code as well, both of which lie under the senses and exist with evey measure.

One testing look a man casts at this and that is enough to guide him that these codes and laws are true, firm, and just, its stern logic performs these characteristics. They have alone what justifier the existence of this great cosmos. Ibn Abi Talib cast that sight at the cosmos, and so realized directly what these codes have of truthfulness, firmness and justice.
