BE A WITNESS TWO IMPOSTORS THE DISASTER WAS IT JUSTIFIED? THE DIVINE WILL LET THEM MOURN\nFACTS ABOUT UTHMAN`S MURDER SOME FALSE STATEMENTS\n\nThe Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali, peace be on him, is the most distinguished personality of Islam after Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be on him. His entire life is the life of struggle for the advancement of Islam. He was a great combatant, a great judge, a great philanthropist and the most pious person of his time. Much has been written and continues to be written about the life, character and attributes of Imam Ali. The present book is an English translation of Sautu'l `Adalati'l Insaniyab, the biography of the Imam, written in Arabic by George Jordac, a renowned Christian author of lebanon. It has gained much popularity in the Arab and the Muslim world. Many Muslim and non-Muslim scholars have paid it glowing tributes. The author is an enlightened man of letters and has written the book with perfect sincerity. However, at times, he has said things which do not accord with the facts of history. In such cases necessary clarification has been made in the foot-notes and at places some paragraphs have been deleted altogether. Keeping in view the usefulness and popularity of the Arabic version of this book, the Islamic Seminary is presenting the English version for the English knowing readers. It is hoped that this book will enlighten the mind of our conscientious young generation and will inspire it to form an Islamic social order.\nPublishers' Note\n\nThe history of great men is a fountain of experience, faith and aspirations for us - a fountain which will never dry up.

If these great souls had not been there, we would have fallen prey to despair while combating with the unseen and intellegible forces and would have surrendered ourselves to death. However, the righteous persons have not so far surrendered themselves before despair nor shall they do so in future, because they are entitled to victory and success. This is proved by the fact that in history many persons have been successful and victorious and Ali is one of them. These people who conquered death are always with us. Although time and space separate them from us, neither time prohibits us from hearing their words nor the distance prevents us from seeing their faces. Preface of the first edition of the Arabic version published in 1956. The best proof of what has been said above is the present book. It is the biography of a great man. Although he was
