Life of Caliph Ali

ABOUT THE BOOK


History bears witness to the fact, although lamentable, that comprehensive biographies throwing light on the character and achievements of many a mastermind, who has played a leading role in his Lime or was even harbinger of a new era, were not written for a long time to come. The followers of such esteemed personalities owe a moral responsibility to them in this regard, though the obligation was very often not discharged even by those who have regarded those celebrated persons as their spiritual and religious leaders or unduly extolled and glorified their greatness. Sometimes such a life story comes to be written in good time, but often the debt remains unpaid for several centuries.
