Miqdad b. Amr

4. Illustrations of Loyalty to Ali

Miqdad’s loyalty to Ali b. Abi Talib is often exemplified in various narrations. He was one of the few who explicitly challenged the prevailing political norms of his time, siding with Ali during tumultuous periods. This allegiance is not only a symbolic gesture but also a profound embodiment of the trait known as ‘Wilayah’ in Shia Islam – a term that represents love, loyalty, and support for the Ahlulbayt (the family of the Prophet). Miqdad’s allegiance is recounted in many historical accounts, positing him as a model for devotion among Shia believers.
