    Period of Khilafat: 656-661 AD

    With the death of Hazrat Uthman(ra), state of complete disorder and  anarchy ruled in the city of Medina. After five days of political wrangling, Ibn Saba, leader of the Egyptian rebel group supported the cause of Hazrat Ali(ra) on the grounds that he was the rightful Khalifah in whose favor the Holy Prophet(saw) has made will. On June 23, 656AD, six days after the death of Hazrat Uthman(ra) , Hazrat Ali(ra) was chosen as the fourth successor of the Holy Prophet(saw) and the public swore allegiance at his hand one by one.

    Hazrat Ali(ra) was the son of the Holy Prophet’s(saw) uncle, Abu Talib. He was born in Mecca about twenty years after the birth of the Holy Prophet(saw). When Hazrat Ali(ra) was born, the Holy Prophet(saw) himself became his guardian, as his father’s financial position was very weak.
