| | Encyclopedia: Imam Ali Mosque |
 | | The Imam Ali Mosque, also known as Meshed Ali or the Tomb of Ali, is a mosque located in Najaf, Iraq. | | | Because Ali was also Muhammad's cousin, he is considered by Shiite tradition to be the first legitimate caliph, and the first Imam. | | | It is venerated as a holy site by Muslims, particularly Shiites, most of whom believe that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and the fourth caliph, is buried there. |

| | Imam |
| | The imam is the only one who fully understands all aspects of Islam, he is infallible and the only one who can give interpretations of the Koran and the hadiths. | | | After the 4th imam (dead in 712 or 713 CE), one group meant that Zayd was the rightful new imam, and from this the Zaydis came. | | | However, in modern times, many mosques have made their imam into something more: an employed leader of the congregation, a spokesman for the members of the congregation and an adviser in all questions that relate somehow to religion. |

| | The legitimacy of this claim, as initially envisioned by Ali's supporters, was based on Muhammad's alleged designation of Ali as his successor, Ali's righteousness, and tribal customs, given his close relation to the Prophet. | | | Ali's right passed with his death in 661 to his son Hasan, who chose not to claim it, and after Hasan's death, to Husayn, Ali's younger son. | | | The central belief of Twelve-Imam Shiites is the occultation (or disappearance from view) of the 12th Imam. |
