THE VOICE OF HUMAN JUSTICE
The book “Sautu’l
‘Adalati’l Inasaniya” was
written by George Jordac, a
renowned Christian author of
Lebanonand was translated in
English by M. Fazal Haq and
published in 1982. The book is
about the True Commander of the
Faithful Imam Ali, who is the
most distinguished personality
of Islam after Prophet Muhammad,
peace and blessings be on him.
His entire life is the life of
struggle for the advancement of
Islam. He was the bravest, great
judge, a great philanthropist, a
great fighter for the poor and
the most pious person of his
time. The book has 37 chapters.
The author had given an
exceptional and unbiased history
of Imam Ali’s illustrious life
which apparently started from
House of Allah (Kaaba) and
apparently ended in the House of
Allah (Mosque). There is a
hadees of Prophet Muhammad,
peace and blessings be on him
“If all the trees in the world
become pen and the oceans become
ink and the humans and angels
write the virtues of Imam Ali
then too his virtues will not be
written completely”
The book has
a chapter “A great conspiracy”
and on page 414 George
writes”Uthman was killed by
Talha, Zubayr and Sa’d bin Abi
Waqas. He was killed by Mu’awiya
and his party through their
wealth and conspiracies. George
further writes on page 413 “Balazari
has quoted a sentence of Ayesha
which shows that she hated
Uthman more than any one else
can hate another human being.
She said to Marwan: “O Marwan! I
wish that Uthman had been in one
of my bags so that I might have
picked up that bag myself and
drowned it into the sea.” She
used to say very often:
“Kill
Na’athal. Na’athal has become an
infidel”. It is irony of fate
that subsequently all of them
joined hands and fought the
battle of camel with Imam Ali
professing to take revenge of
Uthman’s murder.
In the last
chapter titled as “Let Them
Mourn” George writes;“ A
stranger is sitting in a corner
of the world…he is a stranger
although he is living among his
people, but he is extremely
grieved on account of them. Time
did not recognize him, although
he had pervaded it. The earth
did not recognize him, although
his sweet and wise sayings
continued to ring in it and it
saw with its own eyes his great
feats. This stranger used to
spend every thing he possessed
on others but did not seek
anything from them. He was
subjected to great oppressions,
but he never thought of taking
revenge. He forgave his enemies
after gaining victory over them.
He never did any injustice to
his enemies and never performed
any unlawful act for the sake of
his friends. He was the helper
of the weak, the brother of the
indigent, the father of the
orphans and a kind friend of
those who were fed up with their
lives. He was an erudite, and
was extremely forbearing.
However, his heart was full of
grief. His majesty and loftiness
were resounding in all the
mountains and deserts. He cut
off the heads of big giants but
was himself overcome by love and
kindness”
The book is worth reading. |
