About This Volume

A collection of twenty evocative essays on the life, governance, and spiritual maxims of Imam Ali (AS). From Nahj al-Balagha to the simple bread of Kufa, these essays illuminate how the Commander of the Faithful harmonized transcendental mysticism with uncompromising social justice.

Excerpt Preview
