Question

Why is ali compared to a pilgrim?

Answer 1

Ali revered the building of post office as a pilgrim reveres the holiest shrine of his religious building. In simple words, the post office was like Mecca for him! Going to this building was the chief purpose of his existence. It was this purpose that was keeping him alive! He everyday went to the post-office in hope of receiving a letter from his daughter, Miriam.
