Ameer-ul-Momeneen Hazrat Ali (A.S) was born inside Khana-e-Kaaba on Friday 13th Rajab 30 Amul Feel. His father was Abu Talib S/O Abdul Muttalib. The Prophet’s (P.B.U.H) father Hazrat Abdullah and Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) were real brothers. His mother was Bibi Fatima-bint-e-Azad Bin Hashim Bin Abd-e-Munaf. The Prophet (P.B.U.H) & Hazrat Ali (A.S) were paternal cousions, and the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H) daughter Bibi Fatima Zehra (A.S) was his wife.
The Fact that Hazrat Ali (A.S) was born inside Khana-e-Kaaba has never been contradicted by any sect of the followers of Islam. No one was born in the Khana-e-Kaaba before Hazrat Ali (A.S) & no one will ever.
Before Hazrat Ali's (A.S) birth his mother went to Khana-e-Kaaba and one of its walls split open & she entered inside the Khana-e-Kaaba & the wall joined again. She was a gust for 3 days in Allah’s home. When she came out on the 3rd days she came out from the same split from were she had entered the Kaaba. The wall joined again but the place on the wall where it split lift a crack, which is visible even today. This crack is proof that Hazrat Ali’s (A.S) mother did not go inside upon her own will but was invited by Allah.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) named him Ali upon Allah’s will and he was also called Haider. According to riwayaats it is stated that one day when Hazrat Ali (A.S) was lying in his cradle and was a few months old a cobra snake climbed onto his cradle and Maula Ali (A.S) killed it with his hands.When his mother saw this she said,
"Allah’s Haider may Allah keep you safe."
He had many titles , of which some are as follows : Ameer-ul-Momineen , Murtaza, Asadullah , Nafsullah , Haider-e-Karar , Nafs-e-Rasool , Sher-e-Khuda , Saaqi-e-Kausar , Mushkil Kusha .
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) brought him up , he stayed with Prophet (P.B.U.H) all the time and from the time the Prophet (P.B.U.H) declared his prophethood until his death Hazrat Ali (A.S) was always a right hand.
When the Prophet (P.B.U.H) migrated to Medina it was Hazrat Ali (A.S) who slept on the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H) bed and saved his life. In the war of Badr out of the total number of enemies killed Maula killed half of them while the remaining half were killed by other Muslim warriors .In the war of Ohud when the Muslims fled from the field even though Maula was injured he never left his post & fought bravely .It was in this war that Allah sent him a sword & Jibraeel (A.S) recieted a couplet praising him :
" SHAH-E-MARDAN SHER-E-YAZDAAN QUWAT-E-PERWARDIGAR
LAAFATAH ILLA ALI LA SAIF ILLA ZULFIQAR "
In the war of Khaibar when the Muslims were losing the war on the last day the Prophet (P.B.U.H) sent Maula Ali (A.S) in the field & he killed Marhab & Antar the strongest men in the enemy camp & uplifted the entrance door of the Fort of Khaibar . In short whether it was War of Khandaq , Hunain or in any war Maula Ali (A.S) was always present.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) has called him the Father Of Knowledge. His sermons & letters are present in the book named "NAHJUL BALAGHA" & "NAHJUL ISRAR".
There are many Aayaats in Quran in praise of Maula Ali (A.S). The Prophet (P.B.U.H) at the time of His last Hajj called all the Haajis & lifted Maula Ali (A.S) on his hands & said:
"MUN KUNTO MAULA FA HAZA ALI-UN-MAULA"
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) also said :
" IT IS ALI WHO WILL DISTRIBUTE HEAVEN AND HELL AMONG MANKIND "
