The History of the Battle of Jamal (the Camel) (1)
The battle of Jamal occurred in November 656 A.D. between Aisha, Talhah and Zubayr on one side and Imam Ali, the ruler (Caliph) of that time, on the other side. It was the first war between Muslims and is named “Jamal” (male camel) because Aisha was on a camel named ‘Askar’ in the middle of the field.
The pretext of this war was to take revenge for Uthman’s murder; Aisha blamed Ali as the reason for the murder of the third Caliph.
