Hazrat Ali R.A.
Hazrat Imam Ali R.A, the son of Abu
Talib, the son of Abdul Mutlib, was the cousin of Holy Prophet (Peace be
upon you). Hazrat Ali Bin Abi Talib (R.A) was born in Khana Ka’aba on
13th of Rajab on a Friday. The name of his mother was Hazrat Fatima
bin-te Asad.
Hazrat Ali was groomed in the family of
the Holy Prophet and always proved to be a trusted companion. He was
married to Hazrat Fatima-tu-Zahra, the honorable daughter of the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
The prophet of Islam
Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him) always regarded him for his
superior services and qualities. The degree of praise and status, which
is found in the Ahadith about Hazrat Ali is unmatchable with any other
companion of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
Prophet Mohammad Sayings about Him
The Prophet once said about him that I
am a city of knowledge and Ali is my entrance (the door). On another
occasion the Prophet said about Hazrat Ali (R.A) “Ali is also the Maula
(spiritual leader) of all those who consider me their Maula (spiritual
leader).” Hazrat Ali (R.A) was the first Imam and fourth caliph of
Islam.
Hazrat Ali always fought for Islam. He
was attacked by a person named Abdul Rehman bin Muljim on 19th of
Ramadan in the 40th year of Hijri calendar in the mosque while he was
offering his Fajar prayer. He became seriously injured and after the
attack when he came back to his home, he gave some pieces of advices to
his sons. When his murderer was caught and brought in front of him, he
saw that his face turned pale due to fear and his eyes were shedding
tears. Even at that movement he took pity at his murderer.
He
advised his sons Hazrat Imam Hassan and Hazrat Imam Hussain that from
now onwards this man was their detainee and they should treat him well.
They should give him the same food what they ate. He further said that
if I would get well then I would decide whether to punish or forgive
him. But if I could not survive and they wanted to take the revenge then
they should also give him only a single cut as he gave him a single
cut. He also advised them not to cut his arms and legs as it was against
the teachings of Islam.
After the attack there was a wave of
unrest spread across in the whole of Arab and Kufa. Hazrat Ali (R.A)
spent two days on bed in severe pain. The whole body had absorbed the
poison from the attack, which ultimately resulted in the martyrdom of
Hazrat Ali on (R.A) is 21st of Ramadan.
Hazrat Ali (R.A) once said that the best
among the followers is the one who spends from his wealth in the name
of Allah, on behalf of himself and his family because whatever one sends
towards his hereafter returns to him in the form of betterment for him.
