The book presents compelling evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah to argue that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib deserved to be the first caliph of Islam. It meticulously examines verses from the Qur’an, such as the Verse of Purification (33:33) and the Verse of Mubahala (3:61), which highlight the elevated status of the Prophet’s household, including Imam Ali. Additionally, it analyzes key hadiths, including the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm, where the Prophet Muhammad declared, ”Whomsoever I am his Mawla, Ali is also his Mawla,” and the Hadith of the Two Weighty Things, which emphasizes following the Qur’an and the Prophet’s progeny. The book also discusses the Hadith of Position, likening Ali’s relationship to Muhammad as Aaron’s was to Moses, underscoring his rightful leadership. Through these religious texts, the book argues that Imam Ali’s close relationship with the Prophet, his unparalleled knowledge, and his unwavering commitment to justice make a strong case for his precedence as the first caliph.
