"I advise you, and all my children, my relatives, and whosoever receives this message, to be conscious of Allah, to remove your differences, and to strengthen your ties.
Fear Allah in matters concerning orphans. Attend to their nutrition and do not forget their interests in the middle of yours.
Fear Allah in your relations with your neighbors. Your Prophet often recommended them to you, so much so that we thought he would give them a share in inheritance.
Remain attached to the Qur'an. Nobody should surpass you in being intent on it, or more sincere in implementing it."
Excerpts from Imam Ali's last will to his sons (May God's Peace be on them all)
