Question:
I have read a tafsir of 5:87. In it it stated that Imam Ali a.s was one of the companions that abstained from that which was lawful (it stated that in his case it was sleeping in the night according to one tradition). I find this strange to accept as i thought Imam Ali a.s would have the true knowledge of what Islam is. Also i have heard that when he was born he read the quran out fully? Is this correct. Was he really one of the people who abstained, and how can it be reconciled with the fact that he is the gate to the city of knowledge? Thanks
Answer:
Imam Ali (AS) was the most knowledgeable about Islam after the Prophet
Mohammad (SAWA), and he was the Gate of the City of Knowledge in Islam as
the Prophet (SAWA) has said in many Hadeeths narrated even in Sunni books.
The narration which you have read is not authentic, simply because it goes
against the facts of Islam.
Such narrations and many other narrations were fabricated by servants of
Bani Umayyah who tried to bring down the status of Ameerul Mo'mineen (AS).

Question:
if I am an artist and create paintings with words of holy quran written in it in arabic such as "bismillah" am i allowed to sell it to non muslim / non believers who would then keep it in their homes as piece of art. Although they may know that the words are holy scriptures but may not abstain from touching it or may also at times keep it in close proximity of their idols.
Answer:
It is not allowed to give any Quranic word to non Muslim unless for the
purpose of guiding them to the Truth. Selling Painting with Quranic words
to non Muslims is not allowed.
