Pearl of Wisdom
'Do not fight them unless they initiate the fighting, because; by the grace of Allah, you are in the right, and to leave them until they begin the fighting will be another proof for your side's right against them. If, by the will of Allah, the enemy is defeated, then do not kill the one who runs away nor strike a helpless person nor finish off the wounded nor inflict harm on women.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Ibid. Letter 14

Adhann / Call for Prayer Adhann literally means 'announcement', and in the Shari'ah it means the announcement made in specific words at the time of salaat. It was introduced in the first year of the Hijrah at Madinah. The cause of its introduction, in the opinion of the Imamis / Shi'te, was that Angel Gabriel came down with the adhann in a message from Allah to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). | ALLAH HU AKBAR (4 Times) | Allah (swt) is Great | | ASH HADU AN LA ILAHA ILL LAL LAH (Twice) | I bear witness that there is no God but Allah (swt) | ASH HADU AN NA MUHAMMAD AR
