Spiritual Journey 249
On moat day Prophet Mohamed said (Ali's Blow in
ditch Day better than all works of my nation in
Doomsday.

On 19 Ramadan AH 40, which would correspond to
27 January 661, while praying in the Great Mosque of
Kufa, Ali was attacked by Abd-al-Rahman ibn Muljam.
He was wounded by ibn Muljam's poison-coated sword
while prostrating in the Fajr prayer. ‘Ali ordered his
sons not to attack the Kharijites, instead stipulating that
if he survived, ibn Muljam would be pardoned whereas
if he died, ibn Muljam should be given only one equal
hit (regardless of whether or not he died from the
hit). ‘Ali died two days. (Madelung 1997, p. 309)
later on 29 January 661 (21 Ramadan AH 40). Al-
Hasan fulfilled Qisas and gave equal punishment to ibn
Muljam upon Ali's death.
Imam Ali was martyred as Omar ibn al-Khattab and
'Uthman ibn Affan.
Throughout history, Ahl-Albeit has been exposed to
many tribulations and they struck the finest examples
of stability on the right.
Ms. Fatima Al-Zahra (God please her):
We must recognize the pure source which the master
of the martyrs was taken from…
She is MS. Fatima Al-Zahra who born in Mecca to
Khadija, the first of Muhammad's wives. There are
differences of opinion on the exact date of her birth,
but the widely accepted view is that she was born five
years before the first Quranic revelations, during the
time of the rebuilding of the Kaaba in 605, although
this does imply she was over 18 at the time of her
marriage, which was unusual in Arabia.
