Whenever Imam Ali (a) faced an enemy he invoked Allah in the following words

Pearl of Wisdom

'Know that the evil of war is swift, and its taste is bitter. Therefore, he who prepares for it, and sees to its requirements, and does not suffer its wounds before its onset, he is its master; but he who plunges into it before its proper time and before gaining insight into his own effort therein, he is fit not to benefit his peopIe and to ruin himself.'

Imam Hussain ibn Ali al-Shahid [as]

Sharh Nahj al-Balagha li Ibn Abi al- Hadid, v. 3, p. 186

Whenever Imam Ali (a) faced an enemy he invoked Allah in the following words

Letter 15 Whenever Imam Ali (a) faced an enemy he invoked Allah in the following words

O Lord! Our hearts seek Your Protection, our faces turn to You, our eyes look towards You, our feet move towards Your path and our bodies sincerely submit to Your command. O Lord! Hidden hostilities and concealed spite are exposed, hearts are boiling over with envy and malice. O Lord! We place before You our difficulties, the absence of the Holy Prophet (s) from amongst us, the abundance of enemies, the disappointments and frustrations which face us. O Lord! Let truth prevail and let our people realize justice, honesty and piety of our case.
