Al-Tabari was suddenly accused of being a Jahmite heretic, while his respect for 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth rightly guided caliph, exposed him to accusations of Shi'ite sympathies. At the same time, he incurred the wrath of the Shi'ites by defending the previous three caliphs. In 309/921, the wazir 'Ali b. 'Isa had offered al-Tabari the Alī b. Abī Ṭālib is often compared to Jesus Christ in Muslim sources. This article explores the similarities between Christology and Imamology. n his article “Muḥammad le Paraclet et ʿAlī le Messie”, Dr. Mohammad-Ali Amir-Moezzi proposed a connection between the theological station of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib and the Christological Jesus. Amir-Moezzi posits that the Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Rashidun caliph ( r. 656–661) and the first Shia Imam, was assassinated during the morning prayer on 28 January 661 CE, equivalent to 19 Ramadan 40 AH. He died of his wounds about two days after the Kharijite dissident Ibn Muljim struck him over his head with a poison-coated sword at the Great Mosque of Kufa Ali ibn Abi Talib. (1st Shia Imam (632-661)) Ali ibn Abi Talib was the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad. He was the fourth and the last of the Rashidun Caliphs. Raised by Muhammad since a tender age, he became his first male follower. Ali was one of Muhammad’s greatest supporters and assisted him in various conquests and in the The Ignorant And The Learned. Imam Ali (‘a) says, Two men have broken my back: an ascetic man who is yet ignorant, and a learned man who is yet dissolute. The ignorant man seduces people by means of his asceticism, and the learned man alienates them due to his dissoluteness. 13. lVWWF3F.
