'''Ali Adil Shah I''' (1558–1579) was the fifth [[Sultan]] of [[Adil Shahi dynasty|Bijapur Sultanate]].<br />
<br />
On the day of his coronation Ali abandoned the [[Sunni]] practices and reintroduced the [[Shia|Shi’ah]] Khutbah and other practices. The [[Persian people|Persian]] doctors of religion were granted full freedom to preach the [[Shia|Shi’ah]] doctrine and were paid by the State for their missionary activities.<br />
<br />
The new Sultan restored back to power the [[Afāqi|Afāqis]] while relegating the Deccanis to a position of insignificance. He subverted all the dogmatic experiments which his [[Ibrahim Adil Shah I|father]] had practiced.<br />

<br />
==Marriage==<br />
He married the famous woman warrior [[Chand Bibi|Chand Sultana]], daughter of [[Ahmednagar Sultanate|Nizam Shahis]] of [[Ahmednagar|Ahmadnagar]].<br />
<br />
==Reign==<br />
During Ali's reign [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur]] and [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]] came very close to each other and Ali actually paid a visit to [[Vijayanagara|Vijayanagar]] City, where [[Aliya Rama Raya|Ramaraya]] received him with great pomp and honour. The greatest event of Ali's reign was the successful formation of the confederacy of the [[Deccan sultanates|Deccan Sultans]] against Vijayanagar and their victory over the latter at the Battle of Rakkasagi – Tangadagi in [[Talikota|Talikoti]] in 1565. As a result of this battle [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]]’s southern boundary was extended right up to the city of Vijayanagar, and further it opened the gates for the future expansion of [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]] further south. Consequently, at the end of Ali's reign, the [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]] Kingdom extended up to port of Honavar on the west coast and southern boundary extended along the line of [[Varada]] and [[Tungabhadra River|Tungabhadra]] rivers.<br />
<br />
==Developments==<br />
During Ali's reign diplomatic relations with the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] Emperor [[Akbar]] were established and envoys were exchanged.<br />
<br />
==Succession==<br />
In 1579, Ali having no son, appointed his nephew [[Ibrahim Adil Shah II|Ibrahim]], son of his brother Tahamasif, as his successor. In the same year, Ali was assassinated by a eunuch,<ref>''Tohfut-ul-mujahideen: An Historical Work in the Arabic Language'' By ''Zayn al-Dīn b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al- Malībārī'' (Translated into English by Lt. M.J. Rowlandson)</ref> and was buried in Ali Ka Rouza near Sakaf Rouza in [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur]].<br />
