Misbah-uz-Zulam, Roots of the Karbala’ Tragedy

A Glance At The Title Of Saifullah

Ibn Abbas relates that Holy Prophet (S) said: “Ali Ibn Abi Talib is the unsheathed sword of Allah[^1] for the enemies of Allah.”[^2] This title is also exclusive for Ali (a.s.), but the truth is that this cannot be applied to anyone. It is only for the one who is the victor of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, Hunayn and Khaybar.
