Live like Ali, die like Hussein is a religious slogan used by Shia Muslims,[1][2] referring to the martyrs Ali and his son Husayn ibn Ali.
Other famous Shia slogans
- There is no hero (some versions replace hero with man)[3] except Ali; there is no sword except Zulfiqar - This slogan is very famous among Shia;[4] reported to have originated from Muhammad and is widely engraved on weapons,[5] such as swords. The slogan is frequently preceded by a Shia invocation to Ali[6] and is also “central to the du’a (prayer) of Isma’ilis, who recite it in one breath together with their declaration of faith in God.”[7]
- Every place is Karbala; every day is Ashura[8] - This slogan is often repeated by some Shia.[9]
