Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) used to climb the mountain to the cave of Hira where he used to pray for days at a time. Ali (A.S.) was always there with him in the prayers. When the angel Jibraeel (A.S.) came to the Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and delivered Allah’s message to start the preaching of Islam, Ali (A.S.) was [...]
Ali (A.S.) was brought up by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and his wife Lady Khadijah (S.A.). Never was there a moment when Ali (A.S.) left Muhammad’s (S.A.W.W.) side. According to Ali (A.S.): “The Prophet (S.A.W.W.) used to feed me like a bird feeds it’s chicks. He used to take a bite, chew it to soften it [...]
Abu Jahal (L.A.) owned a huge python that he kept in a well near Makkah. Whenever a new baby was born, he used to leave the python near the child. If the child died upon looking at the python, it was considered illegitimate. When Ali (A.S.) was born, Abu Jahal brought the snake to Abu Talib’s [...]
