The Biography of Ali Ibn Abi Talib | 2 Volume Set

The Biography of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (2 Volume Set, 1322 pages, ISBN 9786035001663) is an authoritative and deeply researched work by Dr. Ali Muhammad As-Sallaabee, published by Darussalam International Publishing & Distribution. Available in Arabic & English in durable hardcover, this monumental biography presents the life of the fourth Rightly Guided Caliph of Islam, Amir al-Mu’minin Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), from his birth until his martyrdom, based on authenticated historical sources and an Ahlus-Sunnah scholarly framework.

Comprehensive Coverage of His Life and Caliphate

This book is the fourth volume in the acclaimed series on the Rightly Guided Caliphs. It begins with Ali’s noble upbringing in the household of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his early acceptance of Islam, and his courageous role during the Makkan period. The narrative then follows his migration to Madinah, his lifelong companionship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and his participation in defining battles and missions that shaped early Islamic history.

The biography transitions seamlessly into Ali’s era as Caliph, examining his leadership style, judicial insight, and unwavering commitment to justice. Particular attention is given to the internal challenges faced by the Muslim Ummah, including the Battle of the Camel and the Battle of Siffeen. These events are explained with balance and academic integrity, clarifying misconceptions and addressing historical distortions without assigning blame to the noble Companions involved.

Why This Book Matters in the Modern World

In today’s digital age, early Islamic history is often reduced to fragmented narratives, social media debates, or sectarian interpretations. The Biography of Ali Ibn Abi Talib offers readers a reliable, well-documented reference that restores historical clarity. For Muslims, it strengthens understanding and love for the Ahl al-Bayt while preserving respect for all Companions. For reverts and new Muslims, it provides a structured and trustworthy account free from polemics. For non-Muslims, it presents Islamic leadership, governance, and ethics through a factual historical lens.

Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) remains a timeless example of courage, humility, knowledge, and devotion. His life demonstrates how faith, leadership, and moral integrity can coexist even during periods of great trial. This makes the book especially relevant for readers seeking guidance, historical accuracy, and spiritual inspiration in uncertain times.

Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) in the Qur’an and Sunnah

The virtues of Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) are firmly established in authentic Islamic sources. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“You are to me like Aaron was to Moses, except that there is no prophet after me.”

This hadith, recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, highlights Ali’s unique closeness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

The Qur’an also praises the earliest believers who stood firm with the Prophet ﷺ, a group that includes Ali (RA):

“And the first forerunners among the Muhajireen and the Ansar, and those who followed them with excellence—Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.”

This biography connects such foundational texts with historical events, deepening both knowledge and faith.
