A hero is the symbol of courage and loyalty and peace. A hero is a person who gives his own life for others. Many of us have a hero that we all want to be like but during my search for heroes, I didn’t find someone who stirred me in everything except for prophets or those who are guided by God. However, between all the searches I have just found my great hero who I can walk in his path.

My hero is the Prince of Believers who was the ruler of Muslims in a period of time in Islam's first history. There were not any poor people during his judgment. He had no separation between black and white or between the servant and the master. He treated them all with the same acts. He even gave the servant as much money as he gives the master. Yes, he is the true Prince of Believers. He is Ali Bin Abi Taleb.

Imam Ali was born in the thirteenth year after the elephant year. Although he is the son of Abu Taleb. He was raised by the prophet Mohammed. Anyway, he did a lot of wonderful things in his childhood, but I want to talk more about the period of his judgment. If I was asked to describe the wisdom as a person, I would say it is Imam Ali. He solved all the cases he faced with many logical ways. There are many stories about his cases that we can read about now on the internet. Anyway, although he was the ruler of Muslims at that time he was living in a small rented house with humble furniture. He said that if he was truly the Prince of Believers, then he should join the poor with their suffering because there might be some poor who he didn't know about and to help them. He said once "If poverty was a man, I would kill him."

To sum up, Imam Ali fought for everything that we can describe as a good thing. He didn’t hesitate once in applying what was right. He is truly my hero ...I hope that I have chosen the best hero and that I can walk in his path. I also hope that you have enjoyed reading this humble paper …..^_^
