Pearl of Wisdom
was asked by a scholar from Damascus, 'So, the thing, did He create it from something else or from nothing?' The Imam replied, 'He created a thing whereby nothing existed before it. Were He to have created from something then there would be infinite regress and there would always have been something existing alongside Allah when in actual fact Allah existed when nothing else was in existence.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] al-Tawhid, p. 66, no. 20

Letter 79 This is the order issued by Imam Ali (a) to his generals when he took over rulership of the Muslim State.
Verily, previous rulers have come to sad ends because they prevented people from getting their just rights, they got corrupted and could be purchased, when they were tempted by sins and vices, they were lead astray and they followed the wicked lead.
