#Ali_as Imam Alis Martyrdom•••• 19th Ramadan Sleep reigned over the Kufan town, As from the mosque came a godly sound. The call for prayer filled the sky, Moving the air with a gentle sigh. Awakening Muslims with a gentle prod, “O people come, and pray to God.” And in the silent mosque, Ali (AS) stood alone, Gazing at every wall and stone. He knew that these walls would be stained with blood, Innocent, pious, saintly blood. Today his blood would be shed, These clean walls would be covered in red. He was eager for martyrdom I am sure, It was then he heard a tiny snore. In a corner a sleeper lay, Ali (AS) knew he had not come to pray. Gently Ali (AS) awoke the man, “Awake awake, O Ibn Moljam. Come it is nearly time to pray, Awake for the coming day. I know your work, I know why you’ve come, Remember your deed cannot be undone.” Ibn Moljam, nothing did say, Quickly he rose and walked away. Ali (AS) prepared for prayer as the Muslims came, Ready to pray in Allah’s Name. “Allah-u-Akbar” his voice began, Behind him stood Ibn Moljam. “Allah-u-Akbar” Ali (AS) said again, And knelt before God with the other men. Suddenly Ibn Moljam moved forward to kill, His sword with poison was definitely filled. He raised his sword and struck it down, Confusion was there all around. Ali’s neck was covered with blood, His head prostrated before his God.
