Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (Arabic: علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب, Transliteration: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, [ʕaliː ibn ʔæbiː t̪ˤɑːlib]; 13thRajab, 24 BH–21stRamaḍān, 40 AH; approximately October 23, 598 or 600 or March 17, 599 – January 27, 661). The son of Abu Talib, Ali was also the cousin and son-in-law of Islamic prophet Muhammad, ruling over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661, and was the first male convert to Islam.Sunnis consider Ali the fourth and final of the Rashidun (rightly guided Caliphs), while Shias regard Ali as the first Imam and consider him and his descendants the rightful successors to Muhammad, all of which are members of the Ahl al-Bayt, the household of Muhammad. This disagreement split the Ummah (Muslim community) into the Sunni and Shia branches.
Muslim sources, especially Shia ones, state that since Muhammad's time, Ali was the only person born in the Kaaba sanctuary in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. His father was Abu Talib and his mother was Fatima bint Asad, but he was raised in the household of Muhammad, who himself was raised by Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle, and Ali's father. When Muhammad reported receiving a divine revelation, Ali was the first male to accept his message, dedicating his life to the cause of Islam.

Yeh jism hai toh kya
Yeh rooh ka libhaas hai
Yeh dard hai toh kya
Yeh ishq ki talaash hai
Fanaa kiya mujhe
Yeh chahne ki aas ne
Daraa daraa
Shiqast hi hua
Fiza hai kya teri
Dilo jahan tabaah kiya
Sazaa bhi kya teri
Wafaa ko bewafa kiya
Wah re zindagi
Se yu tujhe judah kiya
Kahan kahan firu main dhundta
Wahan jahan
Tu hi mera libhaas hai
Wahan jahan
Teri hi bass talaash hai
Wahan jahan
Tujh hi pe khatam aas hai
Wahi shuru
Wahi pe bass nichaat hai
Yeh Jism hai toh kya
Yeh rooh ka libhaas hai
Yeh dard hai toh kya
Yeh ishq ki talaash hai
Fanaa kiya mujhe
Yeh chahne ki aas ne
Daraa daraa
