Sermon Without ALIF

Sermon Without ALIF

One day, a heated discussion went on among the Arabs and Muslims during which it was said that there is no alphabet that recurs in speech more often than "aleef" ("A"). All attendants agreed. It was then that the magnificent lantern of language, namely Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (as), stood up and delivered a lengthy sermon. The entire sermon, from beginning to end, did not contain a single word having "Alif".
