Explanation

Hazrat Ali (R.A), the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), holds the unique distinction of being the only person in Islamic history to be born inside the sacred Kaaba. His mother, Fatima bint Asad, was near the Kaaba when she felt labor pains, and miraculously the wall of the Kaaba opened, allowing her to enter and give birth inside. This extraordinary event is considered a sign of Hazrat Ali's elevated status and is widely recorded in Islamic historical sources.

Hazrat Ali (R.A) was born on 13th Rajab, approximately 23 years before Hijrah (around 600 CE), inside the Kaaba in Makkah.

His father was Abu Talib, the uncle of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and he was raised under the direct care and guidance of the Prophet from a very young age. Hazrat Ali (R.A) is also known as "Asadullah" (Lion of Allah) and was one of the Ashra Mubashra (the ten promised Paradise).
