Book: What Is True Success?
Editor: Dr Syed H. Akhtar.
Review: Imam Ali A.S had a personality in which opposing characterstics had so gathered themselves that it was difficult to believe that such a combination could manifest itself in a human being. He was the bravest man and the boldest warrior that history could cite, and while such brave persons are hard-hearted, cruel and bloodthirst, instead, Ali was kind, sympathetic, responsive, warm-hearted person and an eloquent narrator. His eloquence in speech can be perceived by reading Nahjul Balagha or Peak Of eloquence as it is widely known.
The editor of this wonderfull book has made and effort to find quotations from various sermon of Imam Ali that are related to modern era and compiled them in this single book. Imam Ali A.S had unprecedented mastery in speech and also possesed immense knowledge regarding various scientific aspects. One will surely be left amazed after reading the mesmerising sayings from the 7th century scholar. This short but insightfull book is highly recommended.

In this book one will experience why Hazrat Ali (R.A) is regarded as one of the great caliph/scholar/intellectual of all the time. This book includes some of the wise sayings of all time quoted by Hazrat Ali given to his family, leaders, intellectuals, common man, etc, hence reading this book ultimately made us realize “What is True Success”.
