The Voice of Human Justice

Dear Readers,

I came across a magnificent book called 'The voice of human justice' by George Jordac in my dad's library little over an hour ago and having read the first chapter, feel compelled to recommend the book to everybody.

The book is a biography of Ali ibn Abu Talib (as)- the cousin and son in law of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh and his family). What makes this book so special is that it is written by a Christian man who recognises the greatness of Imam Ali so much better than so many muslims.

Reading the recognition of the greatness of the man from a person outside the folds of my religion brought tears to my eyes. It is tragic that with such characters sent to us for our benefit we find a way to fight with each other and kill innocent people.

How anyone purporting to be a follower of the religion of Ali can do injustice in the name of Ali's religion is absolutely preposterous.

Generally speaking, biographies of saints are difficult to appreciate because the writers of such biographies adhere to the belief that they were saints. However, when finding a neutral who tells it the way it is - thats the real beuaty.

I tell you - if you want to know about the second greatest man who has lived on our planet after Prophet Muhammad and from the perspective of a non-muslim - read the voice of human justice by George Jordac.

Simply fantastic.


Peace
