Harb al-Jamal translated into English as the Battle of the Camel (also known as the Battle of Jamal) took place at Basra, Iraq in November 7, 656 AD. The forces of Amir al-Momineen Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Rashidun Caliph and the first Shia Imam who was the cousin/son in-law of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, faced the forces led by Aisha, a widow of Muhammad. The battle is seen as the first Fitna (first Islamic civil war).
