There is no young man except Ali

The writer takes us in his mystical project to the first century of Hijra, through a new narrative architecture with a major central character. The novel begins with the event of Ali ibn Abi Talib's birth inside the Kaaba, then the Prophet's guardianship of him, and his learning of prophetic wisdom, raising the young man on the morals of chivalry. He married Fatimah al-Zahra after the migration and was blessed with al-Hasan and al-Husayn from her. He lived great sorrow after the death of the Prophet and Fatimah afterward, and he stood teaching, issuing fatwas, and judging in matters that were difficult for people, proving himself to be the door to the city of knowledge. He experienced the Rashidun Caliphate and then took responsibility for it during the circumstances of the Great Fitna. Away from sectarian disputes and sectarian and political alignments, this novel brings the reader closer to Imam Ali as a human being, and answers many questions that people have been asking about him, why he was given this exceptional status in the history of Islam, why he inherited wisdom and chivalry, and why Muslims throughout the ages have been keen to connect the chains of prophetic lineage and spiritual authority to him, and how necessary it is today to honor this great man and to reconcile around him.
