Each new Prophet has cancelled some of the previous laws by a new divine lawas the nations would progress. In Principle they have called people to theism and it wasapplied to all attainments and virtues. There were among them five arch-Prophets, whohad missions for the whole world. They were Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ andMohammad, peace be upon them all. Every one of them had appointed a competent manas his successor to protect the divine law from deviation and distortion. Jesus Christ hadeducated twelve persons as his disciples. The progress of Christianity was indebted totheir services. Mohammad was the last Prophet of God. The Holy Qur’an was descendedfrom Heavens to him. It guides people, it shows the way of life and it shall suit therequirements of mankind till the Day of Resurrection. The education done by Mohammadenabled the people of Arabia to win a victory over two great empires of that time, Iranand Rome though they (people of Arabia) were not worthy of attention before the adventof Islam. Although the history says that Imam Ali was the fourth caliph of Islam butaccording to the reliable traditions of the great scholars of Sunni and Shia, the Prophet ofIslam had appointed him as his successor and also his executor. He was educated by theProphet since childhood and had accompanied him step by step and at the time when theverses of Qur’an would come down from Heavens he was present with the Prophet andhe perceived the interpretation of the verses directly by the Prophet (s). Therefore helearned the whole virtues and the good qualities, and consequently his words and deedsconformed to the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Qur’an acted upon him more than anyoneelse. He who likes to understand Islam has to study Imam Ali’s life carefully to react to thestimulus of civilized Islam. Therefore Imam Ali's words and deeds are perfect examplesfor the different classes of people especially the leaders and the statesmen.
