Imam Ali (A.S) was
born on 13 Rajab, 21 BH as to 29 January 632 in the holy city of Mecca, at the
holy place Kaaba which is the holiest place in Islam. He was the first Imam of
the Shia Muslim. He is an important personality to Sunni Muslims too. He was
the Husband of Fatimah, the daughter of the holy prophet. Imam Ali (A.S) was
very famous for his virtuosity and had many titles. They are as following: lion
of god, Al-Murtaza, Amir Al-Momineen, Imam-ul-Muttaqin, Mozahar Al-Ajaib, Bab-e
Madina-ul-ilm, Sayidul Ausiya, Imam-ul Auliya, Assadullah, Lisanullah,
Yadullah, Wajhullah, Nafse Rasol-ullah, Vali-ullah, Siddequl Akbar, Farooqul
Azam, Abu Turab, Fateh-e-khayber, Abul Immah, Akho Rasool-ullah, Abul Etam,
Haider-e-Karar, Safdar, and etc. His titles were given by the people and by the
holy prophet
because of his bravery in
different battles that he fought for the Muslims, having a very strong faith on
the holy prophet and Islam, being the father of Imams, the chosen one of GOD, the
hand of GOD, the face of GOD, being a helper, being a good leader, being a good
father, being very educated, and etc. many scholars describes and praises Ali
as that was the minister of the holy prophet, the picture of Haq (right), king
of men. Looking at Ali is worship. Ali is not separate from the holy prophet.
He is the beloved of GOD and Mustafa. We get Ali from the house of Allah. He is
the first witnesser of prophecy, worships are not complete without his name and
in many more qualities. Imam Ali (A.S) is understood wrongly by a group of the
people, and they
commemorate and mourn
him differently, not the way he deserves. We cannot complete the commands of
Imam ALI (A.S) by calling his name, crying for him, telling the people about
his position in the world and in the heaven, telling the people about his
greatness, and etc. Being a follower of Imam Ali (A.S) is very difficult, you
need to be able to distinguish between right and wrong completely and always
support what is right, you must have a very good behavior with everybody, you
must help everybody including orphans and the needy people in secret, you must
be very active, you must stand against cruelty which is on you or any other
Muslim brother, you must be very wise, you must perform all the obligatory
commands in Islam, and etc. This is what most followers of Imam Ali (A.S) lack.
And these were the most important points that follower of Imam must have. The
people who do not follow the Islamic commands completely, do not help the needy
people, do not fight cruelty do not support what is right, are the people who
misuse the name of Imam. His martyrdom was also very oppressed, he was killed
while praying in the perfect position while prostration in the holy mosque of
Kufa on 21
st Ramadan 41 BH as to 29 January 661. The death of Ali
shows his extreme love with GOD. And we must try to be a true follower of Imam
Ali, therefore, we can make Earth a better place than it is.
His speeches and quotes
are excellent, and we can change ourselves and the world by obeying them.
