Ali (Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib) (( )علﻲ ﺑن أﺑﻲ طالب599 – 661)[1] was an early Islamic leader. He is
revered by Sunni Muslims as the last of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs and as a
foremost religious authority on the Qur'an and Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). Shi'a
Muslims consider him the First Imam appointed by the Islamic prophet Muhammad and
the first rightful caliph. Ali was the cousin of Muhammad, and after marriage to Fatimah
he also became Muhammad's son-in-law.
