Dear Islamic brothers! In the light of these sayings of blessed companions        it has been understood that everyone acknowledged that Sayyiduna ‘Ali        کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم had great intelligence and outstanding ability to understand the situations. Second caliph Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin Khattab رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was himself a very expert judge or rather the first judge of Ummah who formally laid the foundation of the system of appointing judges in cities in order to settle the disputes and disagreements between people. (Al-Awaa`il lil-‘Askari, pp. 357)

Despite being so great judge in his age of Khilafat he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ sometimes did not take any decision without the presence of Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. On one occasion, Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stated in the following words about the status and the rank of Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: ‘عَلِیٌّ اَقْضَانَا’ i.e. Sayyiduna Ali رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is the chief judge amongst us. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 8, pp. 6, Hadees 21143)

Declaring him the chief judge the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself has stated: Amongst my Ummah the chief judge is ‘Ali Bin Abi Taalib.

(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 102, Hadees 154)

Dear Islamic brothers! The outstanding ability of deciding the case and the high status Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ had over all the judges of the era of Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ can be understood by the fact that about the method of solving the cases which used to be brought to Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ from time to time it is stated on page 308 of a book Faizan-e-Farooq-e-A’zam, volume 2 published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, a publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: Sometimes Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would solve the complicated problems himself in consultation with the great blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم, but sometimes it also happened that despite making all sorts of efforts, a problem would remain unsolved. For this difficult situation, Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ had appointed a special judge in his court who we
