Imam Ali (A.S)

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S)

Imam ALI A.S

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S) was conceived on 13th of Rajab of the 30th year of Elephant (A.D) Prophet of Allah was then 30 year old, his mom Fatma binte Asad, father Abi Talib ibn Abdul Muttalib both of the groups of Hashim. 

Imam Ali was conceived inside the Kaaba in Makkah, Masoodi, the herodotous of the Arabs, composes on page 76 of Volume II of his book, Murooj-udh-Dahab (Golden Meadows), that one of the best refinement that Ali (A.S.) appreciated was that he was conceived in the House of Allah. 

Among the current Historians, Abbas Mahmood al Akkad of Egypt writes in his book Al-'Abqarriet al-Imam Ali, (Cairo,1970), that Ali ibn Abu Talib was conceived inside the Kaaba. Another contemporary antiquarian, Mahmood Saeed al-Tantawi, of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, Arab Republic of Egypt, composes on page 186 of his book, Min Fada-il al Ashrat al-Mubashireen bil Janna (1976) watches : 

"Might God shows kindness upon Ali ibn Abu Talib. He was conceived in Kaaba. He saw the ascent of Islam; he saw the Dawa of Mohammad, and he was a witness of the Wahi (Revelation of Al-Quran al Majid). He promptly acknowledged Islam despite the fact that he was still a kid, and he battled all his life so that the Word of Allah would  be incomparable"

"It was a custom of the Arabs that when a youngster was conceived, he was put at the feet of the tribal icon or icons, therefore typically  "dedicating" him to the agnostic diety. All Arab youngsters were "dedicated to the symbols with the exception of Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S.). At the point when other Arab kids were conceived, some idolator came to welcome them and to take them in his arm. However, when Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S.) was conceived, Mohammad (SAW), the future dispatcher of God, came into the areas of the Kaaba to welcome him. He took the baby  into his arms, and committed him into the administration of Allah. The future Prophet probably realized that newborn child in his arms was some time or another going to be foe of all idolates and of their divine beings and godesses. At the point when Ali (A.S.) grew up, he extirpated idolatory and ploytheism from Arabia with his sword. Conception is Kaaba was one out of numerous qualifications that God offered to Ali (A.S.) . Another refinement that he delighted in was that he never loved the icons. This again makes him one of a kind since all Arabs revered symbols for a considerable length of time and years before they renounced idolatory and acknowledged Islam. It is thus that he is called "he whose face was respected by Allah. His face was surely respected by Allah as it was the main face that never bowed any idol. Syed Asghar Ali Razwy; pp.32-33. 

At the point when Ali (A.S.)  was five years of age, Mohammad (SAW) embraced him, and from that minute they never to withdraw with one another. 

Mohammad (SAW) and Khadijah (p.b.u.h) received Ali (A.S.) embraced Ali (A.S.)  after the passing they could call their own children. Ali (A.S) subsequently filled a void in their lives. Anyway, Mohammad (SAW), the future Prophet, additionally had another purpose behind embracing Ali (A.S). He lifted him to raise, to instruct him, and to prepare him for the colossal detiny that anticipated him in the times to come. Dr. Taha Hussain of Egypt says that the Messenger of God himself turned into Ali's aide, instructor and educator, and this is one more qualification that he appreciates, furthermore, which nobody else offers with him Ali (A.S). Razwy Ibid. pp. 33-34.

Å"Similarly, it might be said that of every last one of companions and buddies of Mohammad (SAW), the Prophet of  Islam,  Ali (A.S.) is the singular case out of many others who experienced childhood in the full light of history. There is no piece of his life, whether it is his outset, youth, youth, masculinity, or development, that is escaped the spotlight of history. He was the cynosure of everyone's eyes from his introduction to the world to his passing. Then again, whatever is left of friendlies of the Prophet go to the consideration of the understudies of history when they acknowledged Islam,  and little, if anything, is thought about them until then". On the same page. p. 34.

Marriage: 

Under Divine direction, the Apostle of Allah wedded his darling girl Fatimah to 'Al;, however others vainly strove for her hand. Among their youngsters, Imam Hasan, Imam Husayn, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum have left their imprints on the historical backdrop of the world.

He exemplified steadfastness and grit and demonstrated it in the combat zone at Karbala'

Demise: 

In the 40th year of Hijrah, in the little hours of the morning of 19th Ramadan, 'Ali was hit with a harmed sword by a Kharijite while offering his requests to God in the mosque of Kufah. (See photograph on p. 56) The Lion of God, the most overcome hearted and fentle Muslim that ever lived started his great existence with commitment to Allah and His Apostle and finished it in the administration of Islam. 


"Also, don't talk about the individuals who are killed in Allah's way as dead; nay they are alive yet you don't see. (Qur'an, 2:154)
