Lessons for our lives: Imam Ali (as) teaches us how to live, even though he lived so long ago. His lessons are simple and practical.

  • Be just, even when it costs you. Do not favour your friends and family over what is right. If you are a leader, a teacher, or even a parent — be fair to everyone.
  • Learn, and keep learning. Knowledge is a light. Read, ask questions, and think before you speak.
  • Give quietly. Help the poor and the orphan without showing off. The best charity is the one no one sees.
  • Be kind to all people. Remember his words: people are either your brother in faith, or your equal in humanity.
Example

Choose what is right: At school or work, if you are asked to choose between your best friend and a stranger, and the stranger is right — choose what is right. That is one small act of Ali's (as) justice in your own life.
