Do not wish to build the strength of your state on blood for, it is this blood which ultimately weakens the state and passes it into other hands. Before me and my God no excuse for willful killing can be entertained.”

Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“It’s never the value of water but thirst, it’s never the value of life but death and it’s never about the friendship but trust.”
