Bishop
of Jabal Amel, Lebanon, George Saliba, A member of Doha International
Center for Interfaith Dialogue says that he approves proposal for
discussing Imam Ali’s book ‘Nahj al-Balagha’ (Peak of Eloquence) in this
center.
Bishop
Saliba has more than 25 books in his career as a writer, and an article
on ‘Nahj al-Balagha’ which was presented in the Fifth Baran-e Qadir
International Congress in Iran.
“I
respect the status of Seyyed Razi who compiled this exquisite book
[‘Nahj al-Balagha’] and if it was not for his efforts, many hadiths and
remarks made by Imam Ali (AS) could be lost. I read this book from
childhood and have various editions of ‘Nahj al-Balagha’,” he said.
“As
the name ‘Nahj al-Balagha’ suggests, this book is about the methods of
eloquence and rhetoric, but more significantly it is about how to live
as a human and whoever except Imam Ali could teach us how to do that,”
the bishop stated.
Elsewhere
in his remarks, George Saliba said: “During the Caliphate of Imam Ali
the Christians and Muslims enjoyed good relations and the Christians
were living in peace. The path of Imam Ali is the path of ethics, real
basics of religion and magnanimity.”
"In
the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue, we have not yet
held a program on Nahj al-Balagha, but I will certainly propose it as a
subject for discussion," he added.
Nahj
al-Balagha is the most famous collection of sermons, letters, tafsirs
(commentries) and hadiths attributed to Imam Ali (AS). This work
includes 241 sermons, 79 letters, and 489 utterances
