Martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali; Epitome of justice

On the 19th of the fasting month of Ramadan of the year 40 A.H, Imam Ali came to the mosque in Kufa for his morning prayers. Imam Ali (PBUH) gave the call for prayer and became engaged in leading the congregation. Abd-al-Rahman ibn Muljam pretending to pray, stood just behind Imam Ali (PBUH), and when Imam Ali (PBUH) was in a state of prostration, Abd-al-Rahman ibn Muljam dealt a heavy stroke with his poisonous sword, inflicting a deep wound on Imam Ali’s (PBUH) head.

Imam Ali (PBUH) was martyred on 21st Ramadan 40 A.H. by an assassin who mortally wounded the Holy Imam with a poisoned sword in the Mosque at Kufa during morning prayers on 19th Ramadan.

On this sorrowful and sad occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali (PBUH), we extend our heartfelt condolences to Muslim Ummah across the world.

Heartfelt condolences to Muslims across the world on the tragic 21st of Ramadan, the martyrdom of the most perfect and meritorious person after the Almighty’s Last and Greatest Messenger to mankind, Prophet Muhammad (S).
