Condolences to you all on a very doleful day of Ramadhan. Today is the tragic 19th of the blessed month of fasting, the day when a fatal blow struck the Symbol of faith, piety, patience, valour, magnanimity, wisdom, generosity, and justice, while he was engrossed in the worship of the Lord Most High during the morning prayer. The blow split his head and two days later resulted in his martyrdom. He was none other than Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (PBUH), the embodiment of all humanitarian values.
