Imam Ali’s Brilliant Answer

How do you weigh a massive iron gate when you don't have a scale? Discover the brilliant wisdom of Imam Ali (a.s.) in this clever story! When Hasan struggles to weigh his heavy toy box because it won't fit on a scale, Baba shares a fascinating true story from long ago. Two men had a bitter dispute over the weight of an enormous iron gate, and no one knew how to solve it. That is, until Imam Ali (a.s.) stepped in. Using just a boat, some dates, and a quiet river, he revealed the answer—showing incredible knowledge and justice in one beautiful act.
