The Third Testimony

This booklet seeks to understand how the name of The Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, made it into the adhan and iqamah. It also reviews the religious rulings from a significant number of contemporary and deceased senior scholars (al-Maraji al-Taqlid) in regards to the line which is customarily said in these acts of worship in which the believers bear witness to Ali being the friend (wali) of Allah and the immediate successor of Prophet Muammad, prayers of Allah be upon him and his family.
