درباره 25 Years of patience and effective presence
In a meeting with some friends, one raised a question about things Imam Ali (PUH) did and words he said during his 25 years of silence and patience. As all the people in the meeting had not enough study about the subject of the question, all the offered answers were unfortunately incorrect or at least partially correct.
Therefore, I felt the necessity of conducting a research on that subject. To do this research, I went to a library and found a book titled “25 years of silence” by Fo'ad Faroughi. But unfortunately, the author of this book not only did not mention and analyse the problems Imam Ali (PUH) had with the current rulers, but also pretended that Imam Ali (PUH) had no problem with the current governments. Seemingly, the author intended to prove a friendship and good relationship between Imam Ali (PUH) and the First and Second Rulers and their governments. Actually, this way of titling surprises just people and misguides common people.
Reading the mentioned book, I firmly decided to research on the realities and problems of Imam Ali’s (PUH) relationship with the current governments during those 25 years and to write a book on it.
The content of the current book is divided into two parts:
Imam Ali’s (PUH) actions and deeds during 25 years of silence and patience.
Imam Ali’s (PUH) talks and words during 25 years of silence and patience.
