The Lion of God: The Life of Ali (RA) | Islamic history to Fall Asleep To

Fall asleep to the life of Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), the cousin of the Prophet ﷺ, the husband of Fatima, the father of Hasan and Husayn, and the man the Prophet called Abu Turab, the father of dust. This is his full story, told gently from beginning to end. From a boy raised in the Prophet's own house in Mecca, to the night he lay in the Prophet's bed while assassins waited outside, to the battles of Badr, Uhud and Khaybar, the years as caliph, and the last dawn in Kufa. We begin with the poem Ali himself recited on the day of Khaybar.

Where the sources differ, we say so. Visuals are hand-styled clay. In keeping with tradition, the Prophet ﷺ is never shown, and Ali (RA) is shown only from behind. #AliIbnAbiTalib #IslamicHistory #SleepStory #Ali #LionOfGod #ClayAges
