'''ʾAmīr al-Muʾminīn''' (Arabic: أمیرالمؤمنین) literally means the ruler or governor of Muslim believers. It is a title that [[Shiites]] take to be specific to [[Imam 'Ali (a)]]. According to [[hadith]]s, the title was used for 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a) at the time of [[the Prophet (s)]]. Shiites maintain that it is not permissible to use this title for [[Rashidun Caliphs]] and others. What is more, they even hold that it is not permissible to use the title for other [[Twelve Imams (a)]] either. The title has, however, been commonly used by other [[Muslims]] with a political and religious connotation. [[Sunni]] Muslims use "Amir al-Mu'minin" for all Rashidun Caliphs, [[Umayyad Caliphs]] and [[Abbasid Caliphs]]. | '''ʾAmīr al-Muʾminīn''' (Arabic:{{ia| أمیرالمؤمنین}}) literally means the ruler or governor of Muslim believers.
