Jang Khabar Hazrat Ali Quotes

#1. Today there are deeds and no judgment, and tomorrow there will be judgment and no deeds #Quote by Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib R.A

#2. From the very beginnings of Islam, the search for knowledge has been central to our cultures. I think of the words of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first hereditary Imam of the Shia Muslims, and the last of the four rightly-guided Caliphs after the passing away of the Prophet (may peace be upon him). In his teachings, Hazrat Ali emphasized that 'No honour is like knowledge.' And then he added that 'No belief is like modesty and patience, no attainment is like humility, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultation.'

"Notice that the virtues endorsed by Hazrat Ali are qualities which subordinate the self and emphasize others - modesty, patience, humility, forbearance and consultation. What he thus is telling us is that we find knowledge best by admitting first what it is we do not know, and by opening our minds to what others can teach us."
