Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra): Courageous & Steadfast | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ love for Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) was immense. It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ asked Allah to show love to those who love Ali and to show hate to those who hate Ali. Tune in to episode 6 of The Firsts as Sh. Omar Suleiman talks about the first child to embrace Islam, and the companion with more narrations about his virtues than any other.

I've witnessed this miracle on my own. before I knew about ali ibn abu talib alayhi salam, i was an enemy towards all the religion. the moment I had found him, I understood how great our prophet saa is and found the path of allah swt. may god grant everyone with this blessing. as-salamu alaykum

Then you will know who imam ali is. Read about karbala. And most importantly, read Quran. I swear to you by Allah, Quran is such a miracilous book. If you are sincere only a little bit and open your heart, you will witness this on your own. Read the book in full, start from short surahs (chapters, thats how i did it u do however u like it).

Imam and the leader, Ali ibn Abutalib عليه آلاء التحية و السلام, the true successor of Mohammad صل الله عليه و اله و سلم and the one who was actually told numerous times to be the successor by Mohammad specially in Al-Ghadir incident. He was the link between the earth and the heavens after the prophet and the father of all Imams. Corrections: 1. Abu Talib wasn't poor the whole time, but it was a time of famine and shortage of food that is recited to be the time when Fatima spared food of her own children to Mohammad. Abu Talib was indeed a business man and quite rich, remember the she'eb abu-Talib that he owned which was quite a large area near mecca. Mohammad was an orphan and was handed to AbuTalib by his grand father Abd-Almottalib, who raised him after he lost his mother at a very young age. 2. On the night that Quraish commondos attacked Mohammad house to kill him, they moved the cover and saw Ali. They asked him where is Mohammad and he answered: "Did you give him to me that you ask from me now?". Interestingly Ali doesn't walk away and it doesn't make any sense to let those people to go and search for Mohammad while he wasn't away, and Ali kills them all that night and the Quraish actually know this in the dawn! 3. Ali took Fatima, daughter of Ali and his Mother to Medina. They were on camal and Ali was on foot. 4. Moula isn't friend but the Leader. 5. Yes Ali was the successor of Mohammad when he was absent, and how it's not relevant to his succession after prophets death? 6. Ali didn't want just love, he needed the people to whom prophet took a covenant in Al-Ghadir to obey after him. But the elite group of people choose wealth and power over Ali and fell in keeping the covenant. 7. Please read out the incident of taking covenant from Ali by AbuBakr after prophets passing away. Omar sent a guy to burn the house of Fatima daughter of Mohammad -house of Ahl Al Bait- and chained Ali and forcefully made him to accept AbuBakr as the successor of Mohammad! Ali has told numerous times if only he had very few people to help him, he would have reclaimed the succession for not letting others leading people astray. But instead of very few people like: Abuzar, Salman farsi, Meghdad, Ammar, Zobair and two other true believers, No one actually came for his aid. In Shia islam, Ali is the most oppressed because his right was overthrown by hypocrites, His children were slain and people turned against him and forgot what they promised prophet Mohammad in Ghadir. The line of prophets sons isn't broken, and the twelfth Imam shall rise and revenge all the oppressors, including the ones that killed his forebears. pray for the coming of the Son of Man, Mahdi the last son of Ali.
