Umar ibn Al-Khattab is a mere brute; Ali ibn Abi Taleb is a naE[macron]ve hothead who hates Aisha (in an attempted forewarning to when they faced each other in the battle of the Camel during the first Fitna) and Uthman ibn Affan is nowhere to be seen.
Sunnis, however, regard Ali as the fourth and last of the "rightly guided caliphs" (successors to Mohammed, as leader of the Muslims) following on from Abu Bakr Al Siddiq (632-634), Umar Abul Khattab (634-644) and Uthman Ibn Affan (644-656).
