"Ali ibn Abi Talib, or simply Ali, was among the first Muslims, a cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad and later reigned as the fourth Caliph of Islam when he was murdered. Ali's father died, leaving only Muhammad as a patriarchal figure in his life, who had been widowed the same year, known as the ""year of sorrow"" in the Islamic tradition. Met with violent oppression at the hands of the Meccans, the Muslims migrated to Medina known as the Hijra; the Prophet himself departed later on with a close friend of his, Abu Bakr. On the eve of Muhammad's departure from Mecca, to seek asylum in Medina, Ali stayed behind to return people the possessions they had entrusted upon the Prophet for safekeeping.Ali participated in almost every major battle of early Islamic history as the standard-bearer of his army. Zubayr ibn Al-Awam was a cousin and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and one of the first converts to Islam. He was also one of the ten companions whom Muhammad promised paradise. He became one of the political and military leaders of the community following the death of Muhammad."
