Should I be content to be called Amir al-Muminin, but not share - TopicsExpress



          

Should I be content to be called Amir al-Muminin, but not share with them (the deprived) in the adversities of the time or be an example for them to follow in the difficulties of life? …But it is impossible that my whims and desires should overcome me and my greed should lead me to select the best kinds of foods, when perhaps in Hijaz or Yamamah there is one who has no hope of getting a loaf of bread or one who has never experienced satiation. Should I sleep with a full stomach when around me there are hungry stomachs and mouths dry with thirst? ~ Imam Ali (as) Nahj al-Balaghah, letter 45
