Kalame Mawla is a poem of 327 verses, composed in Hindi, whose content is inspired by sayings, speeches and sermons of Hazrat Imam Ali - our first Imam. The actual composer of the poem is not known.
The main message in the poem is ethical, stating the virtues to be cultivated (honesty, brotherhood etc) and the vices to be shunned (jealousy, greed etc).
However, it also has a doctrinal aspect (Islamic faith, theological beliefs) and deep esoteric mystical elements with a call to aspire higher spiritual reality through contemplation and acquisition of knowledge.
The ethical and esoteric aspects of Kalame Mawla have potential universal appeal beyond the followers of Islam.
