Who is Imam Ali (AS)?

In the 40th year of Hijra, in the small hours of the morning of 19th Ramazan, Imam Ali (A) was struck with a poisoned sword by a Kharijite while offering his prayers in the Mosque of Kufa. He died on the 21st day of Ramazan, and was buried in Najaf al-Ashraf.

 He was born in the House of God, the Holy Ka’aba and martyred in the House of God, the Mosque of Kufa. The Lion of God, the most brave- hearted and gentle Muslim that ever lived, began his glorious life with devotion to Allah and His Apostle and ended it in the service of Islam.

“And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead; nay, they are alive but you do not perceive.” (Quran)
