Hazrat Ali (R.A) became the fourth Caliph of Islam after the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman (R.A) in 35 AH and his caliphate ended with his own martyrdom in 40 AH, spanning exactly 4 years. His reign, though short, was marked by significant internal conflicts including the Battles of Jamal and Siffin, and his caliphate is recognized as the final period of the Khilafat-e-Rashida before the transition to Umayyad rule.
Hazrat Ali (R.A) was the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is counted among the Ashra Mubashra. His caliphate began in 35 AH (656 CE) following the assassination of Hazrat Usman (R.A), and he was martyred in Kufa in 40 AH (661 CE) by Abdur Rahman ibn Muljim, a Kharijite. His caliphate of 4 years was the shortest among the four Rashidun Caliphs.
