Imam Ali's sermons, letters, and words of wisdom

Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them, ruling over the Islamic caliphate from 656 to 661. Ali was the only person born in the sacred sanctuary of the Kaaba in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam, as many sources, especially Shia ones say. Ali was the first young male who accepted Islam. After migrating to Medina, he married Muhammad's daughter Fatimah.

This is an Arabic collection of his words of wisdom, sermons, and letters.
