==Life==&lt;br /&gt;
Abu Ala was born in 1957 or 1959 near the area of &amp;quot;al-Hadr,&amp;quot; located 80 kilometers south of Mosul in Nineveh&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tabnak.ir/fa/news/494027/%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%85-%D9%81%DB%8C%D8%B2%DB%8C%DA%A9-%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B5%D9%84%DB%8C-%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4%DB%8C%D9%86-%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%A8%DA%A9%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%BA%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%DB%8C Tabnak website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. According to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Newsweek&amp;#039;&amp;#039; magazine, citing Hashim al-Hashimi, an advisor to the Iraqi government, he was formerly a physics teacher at a secondary school in the &amp;quot;al-Hadr&amp;quot; region, southwest of Mosul, and is believed to have been an Iraqi Turkmen&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.entekhab.ir/fa/news/202157/%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%87-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B4-%D8%AE%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%81%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8-%D9%82%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%B4%DB%8C-%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%B4%D9%85%DB%8C-%D9%88-%D8%B3%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AF-%D9%86%DA%98%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%AA%D8%B1%DA%A9%D9%85%D9%86%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B3%D8%AA-%D8%B1%D9%87%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D8%AC%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B4-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D9%87%D8%AF Entekhab website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tenure in Al-Qaeda==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1998, al-Afari traveled to [[Afghanistan]] and was appointed as one of the commanders of the group by [[Abu Musab al-Zarqawi]], the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Following the deaths of [[Abu Omar al-Baghdadi|Abu Omar al-Baghdadi]] and [[Abu Ayyub al-Masri]], the leaders of Al-Qaeda, [[Osama bin Laden]], the leader of Al-Qaeda, nominated him in 2010 to lead Al-Qaeda in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Afghanistan, Iraq, and Al-Qaeda==&lt;br /&gt;
Al-Afari was among the first individuals to join Al-Qaeda, traveling to Afghanistan in 1998 for what they termed &amp;#039;&amp;#039;jihad&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, where he met Osama bin Laden, the founder and leader of the organization. After leaving Afghanistan in 2004 and returning to Iraq, he joined Al-Qaeda in Iraq, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and was selected as the local leader of Al-Qaeda in Mosul. Following the deaths of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri in a joint airstrike by U.S. and Iraqi forces, Osama bin Laden nominated him in 2010 to lead Al-Qaeda in Iraq&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://observer.com/2015/05/the-next-bin-laden-meet-isis-new-top-dog The Observer website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Syrian Civil War and ISIS==&lt;br /&gt;
His personality traits, moral characteristics, and charisma led Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to invite him to join his ranks; after the formation of what was called the Islamic State of Iraq, or ISIS, al-Baghdadi appointed him as his deputy and first successor&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.rewardsforjustice.net/english/abd_al_qaduli.html Rewards for Justice website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Subsequently, al-Afari held numerous prominent positions within ISIS, including heading the ISIS Shura Council, which effectively made him the group&amp;#039;s chief religious jurist (Mufti), and serving as the deputy to the [[Caliph]], given that, according to ISIS&amp;#039;s power structure, he was the individual closest to al-Baghdadi in religious authority&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/10956193/Revealed-the-Islamic-State-cabinet-from-finance-minister-to-suicide-bomb-deployer.html The Telegraph website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Holding these positions brought al-Afari increasing fame and prominence, even transforming him into a figure within ISIS who, at times, appeared more significant than al-Baghdadi himself&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/islamic-state/11219630/Islamic-State-leader-Abu-Bakr-al-Baghdadis-close-aide-killed-in-US-air-strike.html The Telegraph website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Hashim al-Hashimi, an advisor to the Iraqi government, described him as an intelligent individual and an effective leader for ISIS. The ISIS charter stipulates that the Caliph must be Arab, Qurayshi, Hashemite, and [[Sunni]]; due to his Turkmen origin, Abu Ala faced difficulties in securing allegiance (bay&amp;#039;ah)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.entekhab.ir/fa/news/202157/%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%87-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B4-%D8%AE%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%81%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8-%D9%82%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%B4%DB%8C-%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%B4%D9%85%DB%8C-%D9%88-%D8%B3%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AF-%D9%86%DA%98%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%AA%D8%B1%DA%A9%D9%85%D9%86%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B3%D8%AA-%D8%B1%D9%87%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D8%AC%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B4-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D9%87%D8%AF Entekhab website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Death==&lt;br /&gt;
On May 13, 2015 (4 Ordibehesht 1394 SH), the Iraqi Ministry of Defense also announced the killing of several ISIS leaders, including Abu Ala al-Afari, during military operations conducted by Iraqi forces in cooperation with the so-called International Coalition forces in Nineveh Province, Iraq&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.irna.ir/news/82216474/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%AF%D9%87-%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D9%87%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%AA-%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%AF%D9%87-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B4 Islamic Republic News Agency]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
