Imam Ali

Born to Abu Talib[7] and Fatima bint Asad,[1] Ali was the first young male who accepted Islam.[8][9] After migrating to Medina, he married Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah.[1] 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.[10][11] Ali’s reign saw civil unrest and in 661, he was attacked while praying in the Great Mosque of Kufa, dying two days later.[12][13][14

Imam Ali Mosque
The Imām ‘AlÄ« Holy Shrine (Arabic: حرم الإمام علي‎), also known as Masjid Ali or the Mosque of ‘AlÄ«, located in Najaf, Iraq, is the third holiest site for some of the estimated 200 million followers of the Shia branch of Islam. ‘AlÄ« ibn AbÄ« Tālib, the cousin of Muhammad, the first Imam (Shia belief) is buried here, and the fourth caliph. According to Shi’a belief[1] buried next to Ali within this mosque are the remains of Adam and Noah. Each year millions of pilgrims visit the Shrine and pay tribute to Imam Ali.
