High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ali al-Akbar ibn Husayn was the son of the third Shi'ah Imam, Husayn ibn Ali, and Umm Layla. Zaynab bint Ali, Husayn ibn Ali's younger sister, raised Ali Akbar. His other two brothers were also named Ali: Ali Asghar ibn Husayn and Ali Zayn al-Abidin. Abbas ibn Ali, Ali Akbar's uncle, taught him fencing and archery. He so much resembled Muhammad that Husayn ibn Ali A.S often said 'whenever I remember my maternal grandfather I look at Akbar'. Ali Akbar was killed by Murrah ibn Munqad L.A in the battle of Karbala.
