Abstract

The analysis of the issues related to the important events of the beginning of Islam is among the necessities of hadith and historical researches, the importance of some of those events in the prophetic era doubles the necessity of the research. One of these issues is the narrations and reports related to the first Muslim and believer in the Messenger of God (PBUH).The importance of this issue is that being the first Muslim is a very high virtue and the existence of conflicting traditions in this field requires an independent researchTherefore, it is necessary to find an answer and present a realistic analysis among many and different traditions.The current research has investigated this issue using the library method and descriptive-analytical approach. The findings of this research indicate that, based on significant narrations and reports from hadith sources and prophetic life, Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) is without any doubt the first Muslim and a believer in the Messenger of God (pbuh) and the narrations related to the pioneering of other personalities of Sadr Islam - Zayd Bin Hartha - and Abu Bakr in believing in the Messenger of God (PBUH) faced the problems of documents and brokers, and it is not acceptable.
