The Reign Of Imam ‘Ali. Imam Ali (‘a) received the news of ‘Uthman’s assassination with much anxiety, because he had known the consequences of this incident.

Ali was born in Mecca, by some accounts inside the holy sanctuary of Ka'aba, in 601 CE. He was the son of the leader of the Hashim clan, AbuTalib ibn Abd al-Muttalib (l. c. 535-619 CE), the uncle of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. His father had raised the Prophet, who had been orphaned at an early age as if he were his son and a similar relation dev...
Prophet Muhammad passed away in the year 632 CE, after which a close companion of his, Abu Bakr (r. 632-634 CE) took charge of the community as the first Caliph of Islam. But to some, the rightful heir to Muhammad's empire was Ali. These people came to be known as Shia Muslims, and they based their argument on the fact that before his death the Pro...
Upon assuming the office, Caliph Ali sought to restore order, he dismissed several provincial governors, most of whom were corrupt and had been set in place by Uthman (who had lost control over them later). While some folded before the new Caliph's might, others defied him. Uthman's murder had created deep fissures in the community, and his kinsmen...
The opposing parties met at Basra in Iraq, sensible leaders from both sides pushed for negotiations which soon turned futile, and open war broke out. Ali did not wish to have Muslim blood on his hands, just like his predecessor Uthman who had refused to crush the rebels against him; he ordered his men to capture Aisha, who was seated atop a camel. ...
Kufa, an Iraqi garrison citybuilt during the reign of Caliph Umar, was the hub of Ali's support, prompting him to shift his capital to that city in January 657 CE, shortly after his victory near Basra. This move was highly controversial, as Medina had been the Prophet's seat of power and his final resting place. The shift was done mostly for politi...
The Kharijite zealotshad turned into a menace and needed to be dealt with. Ali unleashed his military might on these traitors and dealt upon them a pulverizing defeat in 659 CE (the Battle of Nahrawn). With their military prowess crushed, the Kharijites resorted to underground movements to achieve their goals. They struck down the Caliph with a poi...
During his lifetime, Ali was simply thought of as a leader, not revered and venerated as he is in the present. As Shiism evolved from a political faction to a religious group, it started diverging from the mainstream Sunnis. In the words of historian John Joseph Saunders: “…indeed it has been claimed that the Shia were initially more Sunni than the...
Jun 13, 2017 · The Prophet is reported to have said: “I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate; therefore, whoever wants the city should enter through the gate.” Historically it was on this night, the 19th night of Ramadan, that Imam Ali was struck on the head by the poisoned sword of a Kharijite assassin by the name of Abd al-Rahman ibn Muljim in the mosque of Kufa whilst he was prostrating to Allah.
