True Jihad Spirit Fussilet 34: Good and evil can not be equal. Respond 'to evil' with what is best, then the one you are in a feud with will be like a close friend. Fussilet, 35: But this can not be attained except by those who are patient and who are truly fortunate. All verses of Quran not only give peace to hearts, minds but also arrange and how to behave in daily and social life. These verses are beautiful examples of how to behave in daily life. All verses of Quran are like stars in a dark night. Which one of the verses you follow, you can find the right path with it. In the light of these words, the Companion and the cousin of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Hazrat Ali (AS) applied these verses in his life. Here is a story of Ali on anger: Anger is a fire kindled, he who restrains anger extinguishes the fire;he who gives vent to it is the first to be consumed by it. Hazrat Ali(AS) This is an exemplary story concerning Hazrat Ali (AS) the 'Gate of Knowledge and Lion of God'. Ali, the first Male to become Muslim never ever lost a battle in his life. During most of the early wars in Islam he was a mere boy but the bravest Muslim. To Ali (AS), Jihad was an internal struggle against the self and not about conquering the Kafirs'. This story shows that spirit of Ali(AS). At the battle of the Ditch, the noble Imam Ali had knocked an enemy soldier to the ground and was raising his sword to kill him, when the enemy soldier or rather 'Kâfir ' spat in the face of the Valiant Lion. Imam Ali at once stood still, threw down his sword, walked away, and refrained from killing his enemy. Hardly able to believe his own eyes, the 'Kafir' asked: 'Why have you spared me, O gracious one? To this, the noble Ali replied: 'Your property and your life have become sacrosanct to me. I am not authorized to slay you. I can receive permission to kill only in holy combat, in self defence commanded by God. Just a few moments ago, I had overcome you in battle, knocked you to the ground and was on the point of slaying you. But when you spat in my face, my selfish anger was aroused against you. If I had killed you, I would have slain you not for God's sake but for my own selfish reason, they would then have called me not a champion warrior or valiant of Allah, but a murderer and a coward. When you spat in my face, my selfish passion threatened to overwhelm me, so instead of striking you with the sword for my own sake. I struck my passion for the sake of God, Exalted is He. There you have the reason for your escape. The 'Kafir' was left in awe and amazament. This event made him realize that he was a direct witness to the worth and value of being Muslim. As he felt the light of Islam descending into his heart, he was quite unconscious of the tears streaming down from his eyes. He acknowledged the beauty of Islam first hand. The soldier eventually became a Muslim. Moreover, the cause of his conversation, the person standing before him, was none other then the noble Imam Ali. Indeed, friendship and affection, as well as enmity, should be in the manner like Ali (AS). Fairness even into the enemy is what Islam is about. Ali(AS) was a man who turned even his 'Kafir' enemies into Muslims by his mercy and True Jihad Spirit. Peace be upon all the Companions of our Holy prophet.
