Imam Ali and the Relationship with the Prophet After Revelation in Mecca - Ramadan Reflections 20
As Imam ʿAlī continued to grow and mature, his dedication to Islam and to his spiritual brother, Prophet Muḥammad also grew. The Prophet relied upon Imam ʿAlī in critical junctures of the growth of Islam in Mecca, such as inviting and cooking food for the invitation to the Quraysh to Islam in the event known as Da’wat Dhu’l Asheerah. He also showed his love for Islam and his dedication by sacrificing his life on the bed of Prophet Muḥammad as he left on the migration towards Medina.
