Such a vast field of controversy is the personality of Ali (A.S.) as may not be found in the lives of other heroes who have been subjected to love as well as hatred; some say that he is God, while others pronounce him to be an apostate and an heretic thrown out of the limits of God's mercy. Another aspect of human conscience found in the personality of Ali(A.S.) in different ways is that of complaint and revolt or that of a zeal for reconstruction and reform. Ali's name has become a standard round which every one whose rights have usurped, gathers; it has become a slogan raised by every one demanding for justice. All those who bear anger against a revolting society and unjust government, take refuge in the Alawides call as if it were synonymous with reform, or as if Imam Ali(A.S.) was the only way out for every persecuted person.
Moja ya mambo yanayoshughulikiwa na Faqihi Mtawala ni kutekeleza sheria za adhabu za Kiislamu. Je, kuna tofauti katika kutekeleza sheria hizo baina ya Mtume (saw), Imam au faqihi? Je, kwa kuwa hadhi na daraja ya faqini ni chini zaidi ya nafasi ya Mtume na Imamu, anapaswa kumpiga mhalifu bakora kidogo zaidi? Hukumu ya mzinifu katika sheria za adhabu za Kiislamu ni kupigwa bakora mia moja. Je, Mtume (saw) anapotekeleza hukumu hiyo anapasa kupiga bakora 150, Imam Ali bin Abi Twalib (as) apige 100 na faqihi apige 50? Au mtawala ni mtekelezaji wa sheria za Mwenyezi Mungu sawa awe Mtume (saw), Imamu Ali Bin Abi Twalib (as), mwakilishi na kadhi aliyemteuwa yeye katika miji ya Basra na Kufa au faqihi za zama hizi?
