Frasi di Ali ibn abi Talib

ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib è stato cugino e genero del profeta dell'Islam Maometto, avendone sposato la figlia Fāṭima nel 622. Divenne nel 656 il quarto califfo dell'Islam ed è considerato dallo Sciismo il suo primo Imam.



Secondo gli sciiti avrebbe dovuto essere il successore di Maometto, ma fu preceduto da tre califfi: Abū Bakr , 'Omar ibn al-Khattàb e 'Othmàn ibn 'Affàn .

Il padre di ʿAlī, Abū Ṭālib, era un importante membro della potente tribù dei Banū Quraysh, ancorché di modesta condizione economica, e zio paterno di Maometto. Quest'ultimo, rimasto ben presto orfano, venne preso fin da bambino in casa di Abū Ṭālib.

Una volta sposatosi con Khadīja, Maometto prese con sé in casa il giovanissimo figlio di Abū Tālib, ʿAlī, per alleviare le difficoltà economiche che in quel momento stava patendo lo zio. Da quel momento in poi i due cugini vissero sotto lo stesso tetto e, dopo il matrimonio di ʿAlī con la figlia di Maometto, Fāṭima, comunque a strettissimo contatto fino alla morte del Profeta nel 632.

Ali ibn abi Talib Frasi e Citazioni

“Non esiste versetto coranico che non abbia quattro sensi: l'essoterico (zâhir), l'esoterico (bâtin) il limite (hadd), il disegno divino (mottala). L'essoterico è per la recitazione orale; l'esoterico per la comprensione interiore; il limite sono gli enunciati che stabiliscono il lecito e l'illecito; il disegno divino è ciò che Dio si propone di realizzare nell'uomo con ogni versetto.”

Nahj al-Balagha

“Remember that this world which you covet so ardently and attempt to acquire so earnestly, and which sometimes annoys you and sometimes pleases you so much, is neither your home nor a permanent destination. You have not been created for it, nor invited to it as your resting-place. It shall neither remain with you for ever, nor will you remain in it eternally. If it has enticed you away with its charrns, it has also warned and cautioned you of real dangers lurking in its folds. Take account of the warnings it has given you and do not be seduced or deceived by its allurements. Let these warnings frighten you from being too greedy to possess it. Try to advance towards the place where you are invited for eternal bliss and turn your face away from the vicious world.”
