SHAFAQNA – Imam Ali said: May Allah (SWT) bless you, know that you live at a time when there are not many who speak the truth and their tongues are unable to tell the truth; those who seek the truth are not valued; people are tied up in sins and they collude; their youth are immoral, their old men are sinners; their scholars are hypocritical, their relatives are profiteers; neither young respect the old nor rich help the poor [1].
