Abstract

The personality of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was distinguished by special formative qualities, on which there is no disagreement. The personality of the Imam was comprehensive and conclusive in terms of knowledge and criticism. No researcher who sought to study the biography of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was without being greatly influenced by it. His personality left no room for criticism, even if constructive, because the qualities that distinguished the personality of the Imam had an influential reality not only in the Islamic world, but in all parts of humanity, due to the legacy of knowledge and unparalleled courage that he left behind, and the example that was and is being followed in every gathering and study of his complete biography.
