THE CONFEDERATES SCATTER FEAR AND DREAD!

      In the Battle of Moat the question was:- ``TO BE, OR NOT TO BE''. The greatest army never precedented in number, and equipment in Arabia, had surrounded the newly born community of Moslems. They had but one object, and that was to annihilate Islam and to get rid of its founder. Had they reached their goal no one on earth would obtain the chance, to worship God as He, Himself wanted to.

      AMR, the general commander of the confederates who was the greatest Arabian hero, made his horse to jump over the moat, and came near, in accompany with two of his senior officers. One of them was AKRAMEH the son of ABUJAHL, who was killed before in the battle of Badr.

      AMR-IBN-ABDOWOD asked Moslems for a combatant, as it was customary in those times, but no one dared to answer him or attend! The prophet cast an expecting look on this and that, but no one from among his host moved on!

      AMR, furiously shouted upon the Moslems and said:- ``You cowards that you believe your deads are in Paradise! Is there no one among you who may want me to send him to the Gardens of Bliss!?'' Indeed he had no rival in war and fight-throughout the Arabian Peninsula.

      ALI-IBN-ABUTALIB the lion of God must have been in his late teenages in the Battle of Moat, but full of faith, earnest in belief, and as brave as himself. He came forth and asked the prophet for permission to compete with that Giant. Ali was the prophet's brother, cousin, son-in-law, vicegerent, and as Qurän says; his Self and Soul! So the prophet seemed reluctant to send him to the altar.

      One of the companions said to HAZRAT ALI (AS):-

      ``Know you not that he is AMR-IBN-ABDOWOD!?'' HAZRAT IMAM ALI said:- ``Yes I do know who he is; but I too, am ALI-IBN-ABUTALIB.''

      No one other than Imam Ali had volunteered to fight with that intrusive and boaster Giant, and he could no more stand his declamations against Islam and the prophet. He therefore insisted and asked the prophet, who had no other choice, to permit him to answer the rude hero; and fight with that powerful enemy of God. The prophet said O.K. and Hazrat Imam Ali (AS) the 19 years old lion of God, rushed forward eagerly. When he left, the prophet looked at him, in behind, and said:- ``Today the whole faith is confronted with the whole heathendom. O, My Lord! In the Battle of Ohud you took away Hamzeh, from me, and in the Battle of Badr you took away Obeideh from me, and now my brother and cousin Ali, is going to fight for your cause; do not take him, and do not leave me alone. If this small group of your servants perish then no one else on earth shall worship you with rightness and in accordance with your will.''

      We make it short here for our dear readers to read how Hazrat Ali overcame and killed the Giant enemy of God from the history books written by Shiites or Sonnies, which shows how belief can vanquish disbelief and evil.

      Ali came with the head of greatest Arab hero in his hand, and the prophet grasped and kissed him and said:-

      ``This stroke of Ali equals in the value to the worship of all Men and Jinns up to the Resurrection Day.''
