The strongest caliph
Ali was the fourth Rashidun caliph from 656 until his assassination in 661. He is considered to be one of the valiant Muslim warriors. He took part in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community. His contributions in the Battle of Khyber and the Battle of Badr are very well known. The Battle of Badr was the first large-scale confrontation between Muslims and the Quraysh.

  Beautiful poem about Islamic golden age made by ChatGPT with a bit of modification  In the days of old, a golden age did shine, When Islamic scholars reached the divine, From the land of Persia to Andalusia’s coast, Their knowledge spread like a brilliant host. In mathematics and astronomy, they were wise, Their inventions and discoveries, a true surprise, Philosophers and poets, their voices did ring, Their legacy, a true jewel for all to sing. Oh, how their light did shine so bright, A golden age that still fills our sight, May we cherish their wisdom, forevermore, And honor their legacy, forevermore.

  The Battle of Ain Jalut took place on September 3, 1260 CE, in the Jezreel Valley in modern-day Israel.

The Mamluks, led by Sultan Qutuz, were outnumbered, but they won the battle and dealt a decisive blow to the Mongol Empire’s expansion into the Middle East. The victory at Ain Jalut is considered to be one of the most significant battles in world history, as it marked the first time that a Muslim army had defeated the Mongols in open combat. The battle is also notable for its impact on the Crusader states in the region, as the Mamluks went on to conquer much of the territory previously held by the Crusaders in the Levant.
