Commander of the Faithful (Arabic: Ameer-al-Mo'mineen أمير المؤمنين). The title was used by caliphs starting with Umar bin-l-Kahttab as Abu Bakr used Khalifa-t RasulAllah as title. Shi'a believe that only Ali is the Ameer and no body else should be called with that title. Shi'a name their children Ameer to mean Ali.
