the caliphate of imam ali

The Caliphate of Imam Ali (A.S) and His Method of Rule (Part 1)

The caliphate of Ali began toward the end of the year 35/656 and lasted about four years and nine months. During his period as caliph Ali followed the ways of the Holy Prophet [1] and brought conditions back to their original state. He forced the resignation of all the incompetent political elements who had a hand in directing affairs [2] and began in reality a major transformation of a "revolutionary" nature which caused him innumerable difficulties.

Ali’s Virtues before His Birth

The orator of Khawarizm quoting `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud has reported that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: O `Abdullah! An angel came to me carrying a message from God who said: O Muhammad! Ask the prophets coming before you what they commissioned for? I said: You say what they were commissioned for? He answered: The very essence of their mission is based on the Wilayah of you and `Ali ibn Abi-Talib. [2]
