Pearl of Wisdom

'Look at the various favours of Allah upon them, when He deputed towards them a prophet who got them to pledge their obedience to Him, and made them unite at his call. [Look] how [Allah's] bounty spread the wings of its favours over them and made flow for them streams of its blessing, and the whole community was covered in blissful prosperity. Consequently they were submerged under its bounty.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 192
