So its waves clashed in its depth,

And two-thirds of it receded, and it had been its store.

And how many a miraculous sign does he have,

Known by every knowing, insightful one.

And from the sayings of the great writer Gibran Khalil Gibran: "Ali is a jewel among pebbles."

And Professor Shibli Shumayyil said: "Imam Ali bin Abi Talib is the greatest of the great, a unique copy for which neither the East nor the West has seen an exact replica, neither anciently nor recently."

And the unique poet, Professor Boulos Salama, said in his poetic epic "The Epic of Eid al-Ghadir" (Malhamat Eid al-Ghadir):

The truth reverberated in the Christian until

He was counted, out of the excess of his love, an Alawite [follower of Ali].

O sky, bear witness, and O earth, rest

And be humble, for indeed I have loved Ali.
