Imam Ali (AS) said:

O’ Allah (SWT), You are aware that our demand and actions to attain governance, is neither to compete to dominate others nor wanting to add to worldly wealth; rather our aim is to begin to involve in signs of God’s religion and express views in God’s towns. Maybe in this way, God’s servants are saved and secured, and those Divine Decrees which have been sidelined can once again come into effect and are revived [1].
