The birthday of Imam Ali coincides with Father’s Day in certain Islamic countries, marking a dual celebration of familial and religious significance. Imam Ali, born inside the sacred Kaaba in Mecca, is a central figure in Islam, revered especially by the Shia community as the first Imam and the successor to Prophet Muhammad.
His birthday is observed with great respect, involving community feasts and stories of his life and virtues. On the same day, Father’s Day activities often include children showing appreciation for their fathers, emphasizing respect for parents, a value deeply ingrained in Islamic teachings.
