In his message marking the occasion, Ayatullah Al-Hakim, who is one of the four Marajay in Holy Najaf, said personality of Al-Imam Amir-ol Mo’minin Ali (peace be upon him) is distinguished among Awliya Allah by unique characteristics i.e. patience, sacrifice, redemption, faithfulness and extinction in Allah’s personality.

Quoting a number of sayings of holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his pure progeny) about great status of Ali (peace be upon him) i.e. Ya Ali La Ya’refoka ill-lallah wa Anaa (O Ali! no one knows you but Allah and me), Aliyyon Ma’al Haq wal Haq Ma’a Ali, Yaduro Ma’aho Haithoma Dara (Ali is with truth and truth is with Ali, it turns with him wherever he turns), Anta Minni bay Manzilati Haroun Min Mousa (You are to me in the rank of Harun to Mousa) and many others, Ayatullah Al-Hakim urged the nation to follow pious sirah and character of this extraordinary personality (peace be upon him) who is an embodiment of the sublime teachings of Islam and a symbol of belief and justice.
