What was Imam Ali’s (AS) view about slogans and deeds?
Imam Ali (AS) said: I moved with guidance from God’s light and as for speech and slogan my voice was quieter than everyone, but I was a front-runner and progressive in action (deeds). I took the reins and flew in front of everyone, and was rewarded for virtues; like a mountain which does not move by hurricane or is not displaced by storms [1].
