Pearl of Wisdom
'If I was to strike the nose of a believer with my sword to hate me he would never hate me, and if I was to pour down the whole world onto a hypocrite to love me he would never love me, and this is because of what has been destined, as this was passed on through the tongue of the unschooled Prophet (SAWA), saying, Ali, a believer can never hate you and a hypocrite can never love you.?
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Saying 45

Sermon 50 Admixture of right and wrong
The basis of the occurrence of evils are those desires which are acted upon and the orders that are innovated. They are against the Book of Allah. People co-operate with each other about them even though it is against the Religion of Allah. If wrong had been pure and unmixed it would not be hidden from those who are in search of it. And if right had been pure without admixture of wrong those who bear hatred towards it would have been silenced. What is, however, done is that something is taken from here and something from there and the two are mixed! At this stage Satan overpowers his friends and they alone escape for whom virtue has been apportioned by Allah from before.
