In that leadership tree, they follow Imam Ali Naqi Hadi (AS) as 10th infallible Imam beginning from commander of faithful Maula Ali (AS).

Shia Muslims proudly celebrate birth anniversaries and mourn martyrdom anniversaries of 14 infallible figures of Shia Islam beginning from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi aka Imam Hadi (a.s.) lived for 42 years. Out of these 42 years, he spent 20 years in Samarra (Iraq). He had a farm there and he used to work and live in this city.

At that time, Samarra was like a military camp which had been built by al-Mu’taz Abbasid monarch to keep his Turkish slaves – these people should not be mistaken with our Turks in Azerbaijan and other areas in Iran.

But the Turk slaves close to Abbasid monarch had been brought from Turkistan, Samarkand, Mongolia and East Asia.

During the imamate of that great Imam, six Abbasid dynastic caliphs came and perished one after the other.

The last one was al-Mu’taz who martyred Imam Hadi (a.s.) but he himself died shortly after. These caliphs died in humiliation. One lost life because his son killed him and a nephew killed the other one.
The rest of Abbasid caliphs were destroyed in such a way. Contrary to these caliphs, Shia Muslims prevailed.

During the time of Hazrat Hadi (a.s.) and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (a.s.) Shia Islam expanded and became stronger despite the harsh measures which despotic Abbasid caliphs imposed.
