Hazrat Abutalib’s wife Hazrat Bibi Fatema bint Asad Radiyallah ta’ala anha was conceived. She was nearing to delivery when one day She was doing tawaf (Coming around ka’abatullah sharif). suddenly She got heavy pain, and gave birth to a male Child, who was Hazrat Ali karramallah wajhahu.It was Holy ka’aba the place of Birth of Moula Ali, about which Allah jal.. says in Qur’aanAnd remember when Ibrahim raised the foundation of the House with Ismail (praying) Our Lord accept (this service) from us; verily Thou and Thou (alone) art the All-hearing and the All-knowing”. (2:127) “And remember when We made the House a resort for mankind and a sanctuary (saying), take ye the station of Ibraheem a place of prayer (for you); and covenanted with Abraham and Ismail (saying), purify ye two My House for those who make the circuit, and for those who prostrate (adoring).” Nobody has got such a Noble significance of being born in baitullah shariff ka’aba.That much holy is the place of Birth of Imam Ali…Days passed on, and Hazrat Moula Ali was taken care by Rasulullah saws from very childhood.Allah jal.. ordered HIS prophet Hazrta Rasulullah saws to exhibit His prophecy, and Allah through Hazrat jibra’eel started sending wahi (Message from God) and Hazrat Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam started giving da’wa to people. Almost all from makkah opposed this. Though they believe in Allah, their claim was why Allah has not selected them for HIS prophecy, since they are well to do in all aspects, but an orphan Muhammadh (peace be upon Him). For the above claim they rejected Islam and started giving tortures to Hazrat Rasoolullah saws.Only very few accepted Islam. One day our Prophet was doing Namaz in His home while giving salaam at the end, He saw Hazrat Ali behind Him, doing so. Prophet asked “O Ali..! what you did?” Ali radiyallah replied ”oh my brother, what you where doing, i did the same” Hazrat replied “i was Praying Allah”, “then I was also praying Allah” said Hazrat Ali. Prophet said “you still din’t take Eimaan”, Hazrat Ali told ” You din’t teach me what Eeman was”.Hazrat Rasulullah said “There is nobody in the world to be worshipful Except ALLAH, and I (Muhammad) am HIS prophet” if you accept this, you will be a muslim.Yes, I have no doubt in these true words. “La Ilaha Illallah Mohammadur Rasulullah” said Hazrat Ali keeping His hand upon the hands of Prophet.This is the incident how Hazrat Ali accepted Islam and He was No.3 in the list of Muslims.His age was 7, during this incident and according to some reports he was 9. But anyhow He was ghair baalig when He accepted Islam.Later in the
Battle of siffin with Muaaviya (L.A.) and his troops Hazrat Ali Karramallah says ina Qaasidah,
” Sabaqtukumu ilal Islami turra, Ghulaamam Maa balagtu awaana hulmi”. I was not even matured when i accepted Islam.Days passed on and Hazrat Rasulullah saws and sahaabas worked very Hard to spread Islam amidst tough opposition from Makkah Kaafirs. Several Battles happened with kaafirs, and Hazrat Ali raliyallh played a major role in all battles.In Badr, Mowla Ali killed several kaafirs, in Uhad a big loss awaited muslims, even Hazrat Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam’s tooth mubarak got shahadat. And for Moula Ali a big arrow had stuck his toe and was standing still causing a major injury. other sahaaba kiram radiyallah ta’ala anhum tried to remove that, but Hadrat Mowla Ali din’t even allow to touch that, due to severe pain. When Sahaabaas reported about this to Apostle saws, He said leave now, remove that arrow when Ali stands for prayer. So did the sahaabaas, and when asked about not feeling the pain of that stuck arrow, Moula Ali replied, When i stand before the King of Kings, nothing but HIS fear comes to my mind and when i think of hell, this pain is nothing for me. Hazrat mavla Ali, when enters prayer saying Takbeer “Allahu Akbar.”, His eyes will start flowing in the fear of Allah. But when in the
Battle field, unlike others Moula Ali will be found very smiling.As said in a Qasida ” Huwal bakkahu fil mehraabi lailaa, Huval Lahhaaku fi yaumid Dirabi”In the Battle of Khaibar, Hazrath Rasulullah PBUH, tried with the Leadership of Ameerul mumineen Hazrat Abubakar siddiq radiyallah on the first day, and with the Leadership of Amirul mumineen Hazrat Umar faruq radiyallah on the second day, and with the Leadership of Amirul mu’mineen Hazrat Uthman radiyallah on the third day, but muslims failed to succed. Finally, Allah’s Apostle Peace be upon Him declared, Tomorrow i will be giving the flag of Islamic leadership to a person “Who Loves Allah and Allah loves Him. He will fight repeatedly but never return with a defeat”. All sahabaas except Moula Aly were busy making Du’aas as that mentioned by Prophet must be them because Prophet has said,”Allah loves Him”.Everyone were very eager to know that who is going to get that credit, and next day Hazrat rasulullah saws called Hazrat Ali who was tired because of the severe eye pain. Prophet saws gave the Islamic leadership Flag to Hazrat Ali, and put few drop of His Holy saliva in His eyes as surma, and all eye pain flied off. Hazrat ali says, he usually used to get eye pains, but after that incident, till the end of His life time, that eye pain never repeated.Lion of Allah Imam Moula Ali, fought bravely and steadily won all the 7 sorrounding forts of Khaiber, finally He struck the Crown of Mirhab, the jew king of Khaiber. All sahabaas started collecting pearls and diamonds as ganimatul maal during War is permitted (Halal). But Mowla Ali din’t pick that though He was ailing from Poverty, as He was one who struck that crown.When other sahabaas asked Him to pick up since He is poor, Hazrat Ali said If Allah asks me “You did struck the crown of Mirhab, just to pick diamonds.” what will i reply? said Hazrat Ali.During the course of war, the shield of Mavla Ali was broken, and He suddenly shook the door of the cabin of Khaibar, which was 45 feet in Height, 14 feet in Breadth and 2.5 feet wide made purely of steel. Its a guinness record till today for single man arm power. Pophet and other sahabaas dug a big trench (Khandaq) around Madinah and lit fire to safeguard from kaafirs. this suggestion was given by Salman Al farsi radiyallah ta’ala anhu. When muslims were safe behind this, Amar bin Abdu a famous warrior crossed the trench with a horse and shouted as who was coming to fight against him. Asadullah Hazrat Moula Ali got permission from Rasulullah saws, Who refused twice, but gave permission when Amar bin Abdu (L.A.) was repeatedly calling.Seeing Asadullah Al Jabbar Hazrat Ali, Amar bin abdu was afraid and refused to fight. But Hazrat Ali forced him, and a big war happened between them, and finally sahabaas ran to see what happened when a big voice of takbeer ALLAHU AKBAR was heard, and found Amar bin Abdu torn into two pieces. This was the only battle held at Khaibar, and Allah jal.. then sent a storm towards Kaafirs, and they ran away leaving the sorroundings of madinah.Even after Rasulullah’s wafaat, Khalifaas were seeking the help of Imam Ali karramallah when the faced any crisis. During the Khilafat period of Hazrat Ameerul Mu’minin Aboobakkar radiyallah, Muslims started refusing to give Zakat (The mandatory tax according to Islam) and a war was declared by amirul mumineen against those who refuse. finally this was solved by the intervention of Hazrat Ali.During the Khilafat period of Hazrat Amirul mumineen Umar bin Qattab radiyallah, Sa’ad bin abiwaqas radiyallah was sent to spread Islam in
Syria. There the Govt. was run with the help of some superstitious magical elements. and so they refused to accept Islam and called for war. When muslims fought with them, a big loss happened on muslims said due to some Superstitious magical work with the help of jinns. This was informed to Hazrat Ali, the entrance of the City of
Knowledge, Who came up with a Naqsha in a small piece of paper with some Aayats of Qur’aan, and asked to padte it on muslims flag. Angels (Mala’ikat) came for muslims help against the magical elements and muslims easily won the war and the king Nausherawa was hanged to death. This also happened with the help of Imama Ali karramallah.During the Khilafat period of Hazrat Amirul mumineen Usman bin Affan radiyallah, three people each belonging to the community of Hazrat Moosa Alaihis salaam, Hazrat Dawood Alaihis salaam, and Hazrat Eesaa Alaihis salaam came. They want to meet the prophet, se some mujizaas and take islam. But infortunately, our Prophet was no more and so they met Amirul Muminin and asked to show those mujizaas.Amirul mumineen Usman bin Affan radiyallah called Mushkil kusha Moula Ali Alaihis salaam, and those 3 asked for that Mujizaas. Saying Bismillahirrahmannirrahim, Hazrat Ali put down the hold of the axe which turned a great snake. Next He just took the axe in His hand and moulded which melt like a wax, made a helmet out of it. Finally went to a Graveyard and beat with the axe, a man belonging to Eesaa Roohulla’s period came out, showing it to them, Moula Ali then sent that person back.All three people took Islam seeing this. Moula Ali also played a major role to solve the crisis during the Shahadat of Amirul mumineen Uthman Radiyallah thereby avoiding a big rift in Islam.These are all just instances for which Moula ALI is called with names like Hyder, Safdar, Asadullah, Hallalin Nawaib, Mushkil kusha, Shere Khuda, Faatihe Khaibar. During the month of ramadan, Hazrat Ali, though was very Hungry with empty stomach, gave all His sahar foods to Beggars, Orphans and Prisoners seeking satisfaction from none but Allah.MOULA ALI IN QUR’AAN AND HADITH: Pleased with this Allah jal… through wahi, prsented a full suarh in Holy Al Qur’aan Shariff, which is SURAH AD DAHR, starting as “Hal ata alal insaani heenum minad dahri lamyakun shiayam mazkuara…”Hazrat Rasulullah saws has said lot many Hadith about Hazrat Ali.A very few of them are,” O Ali… I am from you, and you are from me”also” O Ali.. You are my brother in this world and the next (Aakhira)”also” Ali is the leader of both Muhajir and Ansaar”also” I am the City of Knowledge and wisdom and Ali is its entrance”also“For who all i am a leader, for all them Ali is also a leader.”also“O Ali.. You are in a position to me of Haroon (PBUH) to Moosa (PBUH), but the only difference is I am the last prophet and there is no prohecy after Me.”also Apostle PBUH said,” A Mumin won’t hate Ali and a munafiq won’t love Ali..” from the above hadith it is very clear that the scale to measure a muslim’s Eimaan is, his/her Love towards Hazrat Ali.Let Allah jal.. keep us in the list of true lovers of Imam Ali karramallah and in the true path of Ahlus sunnat wal jama’at.Detailed bayan of the above jist will be held at Kaziamr big mosque (Kazimar Periya pallivasal), Madurai, India on 21st of September 2008 i.e., on 21st Night of Holy month of Ramadhan, the Day of urs of Moula Ali, by Mowlavi.A.Syed Khaja Mueenuddeen B.A., Govt.
