SRINAGAR, JUNE 06: Minister for Higher Education, Technical Education, Information Technology, Molvi Imran Raza Ansari, Wednesday said that life of Hazrat Ali (AS) is a beacon light for entire humanity and his teachings precious endowments for the mankind.
Addressing a gathering at Zadibal Imam Bargah on the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Ali (AS), the Minister said that the exalted Imam spent his entire life in the way of Islam and in spreading the message of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
He said that life of Hazrat Ali (AS) was an example for all Muslims and His bravery and way of life serves as an example not only for Muslims but entire humanity.
“Towering personality of Hazrat Ali (AS) had an honour of being born in the house of Allah – Kabba – and also achieving his martyrdom in the house of Allah – Masjid Koofa. He said Muslims would continue to remember him for his services to Islam and mankind until the Day of Judgment,” he added.
