bore his expenses. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ embraced Islam in his childhood; he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ took active part in presenting call towards righteousness at a very young age and the troubles which came across in this way became the part of his learning. Listen to one of the beautiful parts of his blessed childhood.

First food of Sayyiduna Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم

His mother, Sayyidatuna Fatimah Bint-e-Asad رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has stated: When Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم was born, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم named him ‘Ali’, put his blessed saliva into his mouth and put his blessed tongue into his mouth for blessings and he کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم fell asleep in the same state. Next day, we called a midwife to breastfeed him, but he کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم did not take milk. When this news reached the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came and put his blessed tongue into Sayyiduna ‘Ali’s mouth; while gaining blessings from the blessed tongue he کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم fell asleep. Hence, it continued until Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ willed.

(As-Seerat-ul-Halbiyah, pp. 382)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed the glory of Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is bestowing his blessings upon him by putting his blessed tongue into his mouth! On different occasions, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has also revealed blessed Ayahs to mention the greatness and glory of his رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ blessed personality.

Who is the Maula of believers?

In Ayah 4 of Surah At-Tahreem, part 28, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said:

فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ مَوْلٰىهُ وَ جِبْرِیْلُ وَ صَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۚ-وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِیْرٌ(۴)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Allah is his helper, and Jibraeel, and the righteous believers and furthermore the angels are appointed as helpers.
