Why was ali ibn abi talib famous?

Answer 1

Ali Ibn Abi Talib was famous because he was the only one who The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) honoured and graced more than any other person. In the last Hajj , the Prophet (pbuh) nominated Ali Ibn Abi Talib to be the khalif after his death, because it was an order from God (swt), and this specific event after Hajj, in a place called Ghadeer Khoum, when the Prophet pbuh hold Ali's hand and lifted it and told the people that "Whoever I am his Master, this Ali is his Master". That event was told in both Sunni and Shiite historical books, called hadiths. Ali was the bravest man of all the Prophet's comanions and the one who was nearest the Prophet. He was the only one in the World history who have never loosed in a battle or being defeated. The Prophet pbuh has graced him many times and telling people that Ali was the best of the entire world's people, next after the Prophet himself. He became treated in an extremely unfair way after the Prophet's Death when the first 3 caliph's took Ali's position (leading the muslims) but Ali didn't begin any battle for this cause. The Prophet has told Ali several times that he will become treated very unfair and that he will be killed during Ramadan while praying and he also told Ali to be patience and that his followers (also called Shia) will be killed everywhere in the World even 1400 years after Ali's Death, only because they are followers of Ali. The Prophet also promised Ali that he (Ali) and his Shia (followers) will be the Winners in the end.
