Ali bin Abu-Talib (Arabic: علي بن أبي طالب) (c. 600 – 661) was the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, and is revered as the first Shī‘ah Imām, the fourth Sunni Caliph, and for his general knowledge, wisdom, and eloquence as an orator and a poet. Most of the Sufi orders of Islam claim their descent from Ali.
