Overview"Hadrat 'Ali was the son-in-law of the Prophet Mohammed, and is seen as one of the greatest and most revered figures of Islam; a warrior, statesman, scholar, husband and father; a paragon of compassion and virtue. These 400 aphoristic and poetic teachings, in the tradition of Bathasar Gracian's The Art of Worldly Wisdom and Lao Tzu's Tao Teh Ching, show how everyday life cultivates wisdom and well-being as the key to success in this life and after life. ""God, the Glorified, will admit to Paradise anyone, at will, for truthfulness of intention and goodness of innermost thoughts."" The teachings of Hadrat 'Ali offer a path to living and dying with grace."
