Sermon 11 of 240 · 78 words

Mountains may move from their position, but you should not...

ومن كلام له (عليه السلام)

Delivered in the Battle of Jamal when Amir al-Mu’minin gave thestandard to his son Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyah1 Mountains2may move from their position, but you should not move from yours. Grit your teeth. Lend to Allah your head (in fighting for Allah, give yourself to Allah). Plant your feet firmly on the ground. Have your eye on the remotest foe and close your eyes (to their numerical majority). And keep sure that succour is but from Allah, the Glorified.
