Eloquence of Ali bin abi Talib

Ali bin abi Talib (trustee of the prophet Mohammed) said: (the kid is master for seven years , slave for seven years and minister for seven years

We notice in the above speech the eloquence of the trustee in dividing of the stages for life of the kid that the studies of the Islamic psychology referred to it later


In the first seven years from the life of the kid , the kid plays mostly and he is as a master in his family

The second seven years is stage of learning ( the reading, the writing , the legal , the illegal) , the parents and the teachers as a master for him

In the third seven years , the kid as a minister ; the minister has authority but it is a limit , it means the adolescent has incomplete independence whereas he doesn't have the last decision as a minister who needs the approval of the president in several matters , so the adolescent needs the training to complete his personality and his independence
