He ruled after Uthman's murder (the third Caliph) in 656 but was accused by many for being involved in his death. Although Ali was not directly involved some of his supporters were amongst the rebels, and he was the most obvious beneficiary of Uthman's death. Mu'awiya, governor of Syria and a cousin of Uthman, accused Ali of complicity with the murderers and refused to pay homage to him.

Ali's acceptance for the arbitration caused some to think that his agreement was a form of going against God's plan for him and accepting it was actually a sin against God, by substituting the judgment of men for His prescription. Certain individuals had protested against recourse to arbitration demanding that it was absolutely improper to apply to men for a decision that's already been decided by God, demanding that it was Ali's duty to continue to fight against Mu'awiya. Those individuals then left Ali's camp and became his enemies and were known as al Khawarij, or those who left. When Ali failed to regain the Khawarij's allegiance after declaring that he would take the field again against Muʿawiya, he attacked them at Nahrawan. A Kharijite named Abd al-Raḥman Ibn Muld̲j̲am al-Muradi, in revenge for

In the end, the majority of people decided to choose Abu Bark and he became Islam’s first caliph. Abu Bark was Muhammad’s caliph for only two years until he died; even though it was a short period of time, he accomplished big things.
