(’15 september 601′ – ’29 january 661′)
(died @ ‘age 59’)
.
*”ali ibn abi talib” was the ‘cousin’ + ‘son-in-law’ of the islamic prophet ‘muhammad’, ruling over the “islamic caliphate” from ‘656’ to ‘661’*
.
(born to ‘Abu Talib’ + ‘Fatima bint Asad’, Ali was the only person born in the sacred sanctuary of the Kaaba in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam, according to many classical Islamic sources, especially ‘Shia’ ones)
(his father ‘abu talib’ was muhammad’s father’s brother)
(‘abdullah ibn abd al-muttalib’ was the father of ‘muhammad’)
(‘merchant’ / ‘clay worker’)
(he was called to ‘palestine’ / present-day ‘syria’ while his wife was pregnant with muhammad)
(absent for several months in ‘gaza’)
(on the way back he rested at the house of his paternal grandmother ‘salma bint amr’)
(she was part of the ‘najjar’ clan of the ‘khazraj’ tribe in ‘medina’)
(he was about to join a caravan to ‘mecca’ when he ‘fell ill’ and died)
(546 – 570)
(died ~ ‘age 24’)
(6 months before muhammad’s birth)
(‘aminah’ was muhammad’s mother)
(date of birth unknown)
(died in ‘577’)
(she too ‘fell ill’)
(when muhammad was ~ ‘age 7’)
(Ali was the first young male who accepted ‘Islam’)
(after migrating to Medina, he married Muhammad’s daughter ‘fatimah’)
(‘Ali’ took part in the early caravan raids from Mecca and later in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community)
(he was appointed caliph by Muhammad’s Companions (Sahaba) in 656, after caliph ‘Uthman ibn Affan’ was assassinated)
(Ali’s reign saw civil unrest and in 661, he was attacked and assassinated by a Kharijite while praying in the “Great Mosque of Kufa”, dying 2 days later)
(‘Ali’ is important to various Sunni and Shia denominations politically, legislatively and spiritually)
(the numerous biographical sources about Ali are often biased due to sectarianism, but they agree that he was a pious Muslim, devoted to the cause of Islam and a just ruler in accordance with the Qur’an and the ‘Sunnah’)
(while Sunnis consider Ali the fourth and final of the Rashidun (rightly guided) caliphs, Shias regard Ali as the first Imam after Muhammad due to their interpretation of the events at ‘Ghadir Khumm’)
(Shias also believe that Ali and the other Shia Imams (all of whom are members of the Ahl al-Bayt, Muhammad’s household) are the rightful successors to ‘Muhammad’)
.
(this disagreement split the ummah (‘muslim community’) into the ‘sunni’ and ‘shi’i’ branches)
