Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, is known for his significant role in early Islamic history. He became the fourth caliph after the assassination of Uthman in 656 CE and faced internal conflicts, notably the First Fitna, a civil war that included the Battle of the Camel and the Battle of Siffin. Ali is also revered for his emphasis on justice and equality, as well as his commitment to the principles of Islam. His leadership and teachings have had a lasting impact on Islamic thought, particularly within Shia Islam, where he is considered the first imam.

What occurred that allowed Muawiya to become leader of the Islamic Empire?

There were a few events that he took advantage of to become the leader of the Islamic Caliphate. Firstly, he pressured Caliph 'Ali unreasonably about the assassination of his kinsman, the former Caliph 'Othman. Secondly, after declaring war on 'Ali, he managed to trick 'Ali into declaring that he was unfit to be Caliph which lost him the support of Khawarijites in Egypt.
