Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him), known as Imam Ali and the Commander of the Faithful, (13 Rajab in the year 23 before the Hijra - 21 Ramadan in the year 40 AH), the first imam among the Shiite sects. A companion, a narrator, a writer of revelation, and the fourth of the Rightly Guided Caliphs according to the Sunnis. The cousin of the Noble Prophet (may God bless him and his family and grant them peace) and his son-in-law. The husband of Lady Fatima (peace be upon her), and the father of two Shiite imams (Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, peace be upon them 1.png) and the grandfather of nine others among them. His father is Abu Ta Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him), known as Imam Ali and the Commander of the Faithful, (13 Rajab in the year 23 before the Hijra - 21 Ramadan in the year 40 AH), the first imam among the Shiite sects. A companion, a narrator, a writer of revelation, and the fourth of the Rightly Guided Caliphs according to the Sunnis. The cousin of the Noble Prophet (may God bless him and his family and grant them peace) and his son-in-law. The husband of Lady Fatima (peace be upon her), and the father of two Shiite imams (Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, peace be upon them 1.png) and the grandfather of nine others among them. His father is Abu Talib, and his mother is Fatima bint Asad. Shiite scholars and most Sunni scholars mentioned that he was born in the Kaaba, and that he was the first man to believe in the Prophet (PBUH). Shiites believe that Imam Ali (PBUH), by order of God and a text from the Prophet (PBUH), is the direct and without separation caliph after the greatest Messenger (PBUH).

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was credited with many virtues. On the day of his resurrection, the Prophet (peace be upon him) appointed him as his guardian and successor. When the Quraysh conspired to kill the Prophet (peace be upon him), Imam Ali slept in his bed so that the enemies would not be able to kill the Prophet (peace be upon him), and thus the Prophet (peace be upon him) emigrated. To Medina in secret, and the Prophet (PBUH) made brotherhood between him and himself. Shiite sources and some Sunni sources say that about 300 verses from the Holy Qur’an were revealed about his virtues, including: the Mubahala verse and the purification verse, and some of them also indicate his infallibility.

Ali (peace be upon him) participated in all of the conquests of the Prophet (peace be upon him), except for the battle of Tabuk, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) appointed him as his successor over Medina. Among his positions was that he killed a large number of polytheists in the Battle of Badr, and in the Battle of Uhud he defended the Prophet (peace be upon him) from harm beingfall him, and in the Battle of Khandaq he killed Amr bin Abd Wad, and the battle ended with his death, and in the Battle of Khaybar he took down the door of the fort, and the battle was decided.

After the Prophet (PBUH) completed his only Hajj, and based on the verse of notification, he ordered the people to gather in the Ghadir Khumm area, then he delivered the Ghadir sermon, raised the hand of Imam Ali (PBUH), and said: “Whoever I am his master, Ali is his master. O God, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him.” Some of the companions, such as Omar bin Al-Khattab, congratulated Imam Ali (peace be upon him) on his status as Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) after this sermon, and they called him the Commander of the Faithful. Shiite commentators and some Sunnis believe that the verse of completion was revealed on this day, and the Shiites infer The meaning of the caliphate after the Prophet (peace be upon him) is based on the phrase “Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master,” which the Prophet (peace be upon him) uttered on the Day of Ghadir. Accordingly, the Shiites see their identity and what distinguishes them from other sects as their belief in the appointment of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) by God as caliph. For the Prophet (PBUH), in contrast to the opinion of the Sunnis who say that the successor to the Prophet (PBUH) comes through the choice of the people.
