He was the most aware of the Prophet’s was the master of the guardians.

He was the most aware of the Prophet’s was the master of the guardians. He always was ready, sincere, diligent and striving while you were living in luxury, ease and safety”. [1] How wonderful the comparison that Fatima made between the highest kind of the military quality in the world of Islam at that time and the manliness attached to the qualities of the hero and the qualified soldier was!

A comparison between bravery, whose signs the Heaven and the earth announced, and it was written with the pen of eternality in the index of the human idealities and between a personality (Abu Bakr and others..) satisfied with jihad by standing in the last line of the battle and would it was satisfied with that rather than to commit the prohibited fleeing according to the law of Islam and the law of sacrifice to unite the divine government on the earth!

We have never known throughout the history of mankind a skilled military talent having so excellent effects on the life of this planet like Ali’s among all heroes’ history. Imam Ali’s situations**[2]** in the fields of jihad and struggle were indeed the stilt, on which the world of Islam was erected and gained its great history. Ali was the first Muslim in the first moment of the history of prophethood when the divine voice was echoed by Muhammad’s lips.

[3] Then he was the first in being zealous and the first defender, to whom the Heaven entrusted the dealing**[4]** with the unbelieving community. knowledge. They both knew each other so closely. ** [1]** Sharh Nahjul Balagha, vol.16 p.250-251. [2] At-Tabari’s Tareekh, vol.2 p.25, 65-66.

The victory of Imam Ali in this comparison meant that he had the right to be the caliph for two reasons: The first: he was the only soldier among all the Muslims of that time, who never separated the highest political position from the military positions. The second: his wonderful jihad showed a great sincerity that had no way of doubt at all and a burning firebrand of faith that extinction could not find a way to it.

This eternal burning firebrand and that immortal profuse sincerity were the two basic conditions for the leader, on whom the umma would depend to guard its morals and to keep its honor along the history.
