Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (R.A), cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, was born in the sacred precincts of the Kaaba in Makkah—a unique honor in Islamic history. Raised in the Prophet’s ﷺ household, Hazrat Ali (R.A) embraced Islam at a young age, becoming one of its earliest and most devoted followers.
Known as *Asadullah* (Lion of Allah), Hazrat Ali (R.A) displayed unmatched bravery in battles like Badr, Uhud, and Khaibar. His sword, Zulfiqar, became a symbol of courage and divine support. The Prophet ﷺ once said, “I am the city of knowledge, and Ali is its gate,” highlighting his deep wisdom and scholarly excellence.
Hazrat Ali (R.A) married Hazrat Fatimah (R.A), the Prophet’s ﷺ beloved daughter. Their children—Hazrat Hasan (R.A) and Hazrat Hussain (R.A)—became central figures in Islamic history. His devotion to justice was legendary; he would personally investigate complaints, walk the streets at night to check on the needy, and live a life of simplicity despite his high status.
After the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman (R.A), Hazrat Ali (R.A) became the fourth Caliph. His leadership was marked by efforts to unify the Ummah and uphold Islamic principles, though his reign faced internal strife and challenges. Despite this, he remained steadfast in his commitment to truth and fairness.
On the 19th of Ramadan, Hazrat Ali (R.A) was struck by a poisoned sword while praying in the mosque of Kufa. He attained martyrdom on the 21st of Ramadan, leaving behind a legacy of courage, wisdom, and unwavering faith.
