Imam Ali (a) spent the nights of 19th and 20th of Ramzan in great pain. From time to time he fell into a coma, and whenever he opened his eyes, he gave his last words of advice.(1/5)
"I advise you to fear Allah, and not to run after the world, even if it may run after you. Speak the truth and act for Allah's reward. Be an enemy of the oppressor, and be a helper of the oppressed."
Imam reminded people to follow the teachings of the Prophet and the Quran. (2/5)
Imam Ali (a) called his son Hazrat Abbas (a) and reminded him to be always ready to defend Imam Hussain (a). He kissed his daughters Zainab and Kulsoom (s) on their arms. He knew that they would be bound with ropes in Karbala. (3/5)
It is narrated that tabeeb (doctors) were called and they suggested milk as remedy for Imam Ali's (a) fatal wound. When this news spread in kufa hundreds of children gathered around Imam Ali's (a) house, carrying the bowls of milk in their hands. (4/5)
They told his son Imam Hasan (a),"O Imam, on behalf of your mother Fatima (s), please take from us and give this milk to your father."
When people inquired who those children were, they found that those were the orphans of Kufa whom Imam Ali (a) used to feed every night. (5/5)

Martyrdom and funeral of Imam Ali ibne Abi Talib (a) : a thread 🧵
Imam Ali (a) was hit by the poisonous sword of Ibn Muljim (L) on 19th Ramadan 40 A.H. He was 63 years old.
At the 21st night of Ramadan 40 A.H, which is said to be the Grand (Qadr) Night, Imam Ali's (a) agonies intensified, since poison spread in his entire body.
Describing the Imam's state, his son says, "We noticed that his two feet became red; therefore, we felt great sorry and despaired of his survival. Then, we offered to provide him some food or drink, but he refused. His two lips did not stop moving with words of remembering Allah"
The Last Will of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a) to his sons Imam Hasan (a) and Imam Hussain (a) : a thread🧵
▪️I advise you (both) to fear Allah and that you should not hanker after the (pleasures of this) world even though it may run after you. Do not be sorry for anything of this world that you have been denied. Speak the truth and act (in expectation) for reward.
Be an enemy of the oppressor and helper of the oppressed.
▪️I advise you (both) and all my children and members of my family and everyone whom my writing reaches, to fear Allah, to keep your affairs in order, and to maintain good relations among yourselves.
Imam Ali (a) had a very soft corner in his noble heart for the poor, the disabled, the aged and the orphans.
Once he saw a slave girl weeping. He found out that she had bought some dates but they were not good, so her master asked her to return them.
The shopkeeper would not take them back. She was afraid of going back to her master. She did not know what to do. Imam Ali (a) went with her to the shopkeeper and told him to take the dates back. He did not listen at first. Then someone told him "This is Ali (a) the Caliph."

On the night before the 19th of Ramazan 40 A.H, Imam Ali (a) had iftar with his daughter Bibi Umme Kulsoom (s). He ate very little, only some bread and salt. He spent the night reciting the Quran.
Sometimes, he looked up at the sky and said: "What my beloved Prophet (s) has told me is true and quite near." When Bibi Umme Kulsoom (s) asked him why he looked uneasy, he said "Soon I will be in the presence of Allah."
