- Islamic Perspective of Self-Praise
- Self-Praise in Islam borderlines pride and arrogance, which is not recommended in Islam.
- Muawiya attempted to provoke Ali to say something bad about the third caliph. He started to praise the Prophet. Imam Ali responded and said, "YOU are describing the qualities of the Prophet to ME?"
- Khutba 2 of Nahjul Balagha on the Ahlul Bayt- They are the trustees of his secrets, shelter of his affairs, containers of his knowledge, refugee for his commands, caves for his books and mountains of his religion. Through them the spine of the religion is straightened and through them the trembling of the religion's limbs is removed.
-
Ahlul Bayt after Rasulallah are the backbone of the religion of Islam.
-After they denied Imam Ali and asked him to be back, he said that the people are not ready for him because he will bring back the Islam of Rasulallah.

"No one from this ummah can be compared to Ale Muhammad. Those who have been blessed because of the nimat of Ahlul Bayt cannot be considered to be equal to the Ahlul Bayt."

"If you are thirsty for knowledge, if you are thirsty for guidance, you have to go for the Itrat of the Ahlul Bayt."

Imam Ali: established among you the standard of faith, made you familiar with the limits of the lawful and the unlawful, covered you with the protection of my justice, spread for you the virtue by my words and actions, and showed you the noblest of character through myself. Therefore, do not use (your) personal opinion in what your eyes cannot see and what (your) mind cannot conceive.

"They are beyond the comprehension of belief."

"The Prophet said, in prediction of what would happen in the future, 'If you see Ali go into one valley and the rest of the Ummah go into another..' What would you do, follow the Jama'aah,  the majority? No, the Prophet says, 'then follow Ali and leave the rest of the people.' "

"We are told Ali and others are the same. They are not the same. Don't be unjust towards Ali. He has his own distinction."


"Wherever Ali goes, we go. Even if that means being a minority."

"The number of ahadith that have survived in the books of Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'aah about Ali supercede the number of hadith they have about the Sahaba."
