SalamunAliekum,
I (along with some of my friends) am planning to start a website about the magnificent personality of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (A.S). Although, we are planning to keep it humanitarian instead of religious. We ought to show Imam Ali as a warrior, a scientist, a judge, a friend, a husband, a father, a son, a supporter, a leader; in short as a great man, instead of an imam or a religious personality (which he undoubtedly is). The idea behind keeping it this way is that people from all religions, casts, colors, creeds, races should be able to relate to him and see him as their role model.
At this point, we are in a phase of designing our website and building our database for the content. We need some good (authentic) sources for anything and everything that relates to Imam Ali (A.S). Be it his quotes, stories from his life, his lifestyle, his spirituality, history of the people who followed him, loved him, obeyed him, praised him. ANYTHING that relates to him. We need that.
So I ask for all your help. Please help us gather some material so that we can at least kick start this site of ours, with something instead of nothing. If you have anything like:
1. Links of the websites where we can get material from.
2. Any blog that might be worth reading. 3. Name of the books that can shine some light on his (A.S) life.
4. Any sources where we can find Hi-res images of his shrine.
5. Short stories from his life are much needed. (THIS IS ESPECIALLY NEEDED).
6. Anything else that you think might be of use.
Plus, if any of you wants to help in any way. Feel free to get in touch. More people, more minds, more thoughts are always better.
P.S. We already have hundreds of his sayings from authentic sources in good designed way, so if that can be of any help to anyone. We would be glad to share.
Wassalam.
