By the Lord of the Ka'bah
A Life of Ali ibn Abi TalibBy Narin Hikma
Length9h 33m
About this audiobook
For twenty-five years he watched other men hold what he believed was his, and he served them anyway.
You know the shape of that: the room that would not listen, the work done well and never counted, the conviction carried long without confirmation.
By the Lord of the Ka'bah is a narrative biography of Ali ibn Abi Talib, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, fourth Caliph and first Shia Imam. Built entirely from transmitted sources, it presents the record directly where traditions disagree—leaving you inside the history rather than settling it for you.
• See how being passed over can be survived with your quality intact
• Watch grief carried rather than resolved stop feeling like failure
• Discover sixty years without confirmation turned into enduring strength
This is for anyone who has carried a quiet conviction for a long time. Four men buried him in secret at night and told nobody for over a century.
Read the life they were protecting.
