In this article, after providing brief information about the author of the book Al-Imam Ali (AS) Sawt al-Adalah al-Insaniyah, the single-volume and five-volume editions of this book are introduced, and subsequently, the merits of the book are examined in 9 parts as follows: the dedication of the book to Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (peace be upon him), placing the book among new perspectives on Eastern and Islamic heritage, placing the book in the rank of fair and scholarly Christian books about Islam, proper attention to the important dimensions of the life of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (peace be upon him), the beautiful and attractive style of the book, the novelty of the division of topics, the use of methods that allow for better comparison and understanding, relative reliance on a specific axis—justice—in examining the theoretical and practical conduct of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (peace be upon him), and the power of processing and analyzing the subject. The noteworthy points of the book are also presented in two sections: general issues and specific issues. In the general issues section, 9 topics are discussed as follows: the difficulty of reviewing the book and its placement in a specific genre, the sanctity of ethnicity and Arab ethnicity, the analysis of the character of Ali (peace be upon him) as an Arabic character, the lack of references and failure to mention sources, the absence of a clear theoretical framework, the lack of clarity in the author's research and writing method, deviation from the subject and stating irrelevant matters, ambiguity regarding the author's influence by Marxist thoughts, and the absence of necessary lists and indexes. In the specific issues section, 24 points are examined. And indeed, if you look through the pages of this history with your eyes, you will encounter an obvious truth, which is that rarely do you find among great personalities such a consensus of people on their love, veneration, and support, such as the consensus on the love of Ali ibn Abi Talib and his veneration and sympathy for his causes. (Vol. 5, p. 1215)(*) If you search the pages of history, you will face an evident truth: that few historical figures are as widely loved, interested in, honored, and supported by the general public as Ali (AS), where everyone is in agreement regarding his affection and his greatness.

Mikhail Naimy—one of the contemporary Christian writers and literati of Lebanon—in the introduction to the single-volume edition of this book, while mentioning that the heroics of Ali (peace be upon him) were not exclusive or limited to the battlefields, praised the Imam (AS) for his pure insight, purity of conscience, enchanting expression, depth of humanity, fervor of faith, and the lofty status of what he calls people to...
