Muhammad Gasa, a relative of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi and Nur ibn Mujahid, was elected imam on September 1577.

The 13th of Rajab commemorates the anniversary of the birth of the first Imam, Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was born in the year 30 of the Year of the Elephant in the sacred house of Allah.

The Shia community was relatively free in this period, [1] [13] and the early historian Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani (d. 967) reports that stipends were given to the Alids, [29] that is, the descendants of Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 661), the first Shia Imam. An Alid himself, Ali al-Hadi was also less restricted in this period.
Ali was the first Imam of this line, and in the Twelvers' view, the rightful successor to Muhammad, followed by male descendants of Muhammad (also known as Hasnain) through his daughter Fatimah. Each Imam was the son of the previous Imam, with the exception of Husayn Ibn Ali , who was the brother of Hasan Ibn Ali . [ 96 ]
