Imam `Ali in the Qur'an
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
There are many examples in the Holy Qur'an of Allah mentioning the Ahl'ul-Bayt (as) and Imam `Ali (as) in particular. The Suwar of the Qur'an were often revealed in response to specific events, trials and occasions in the life of Nabi Muhammad (sal) and pertinent issues in the Ummah. Accordingly specific names and the like are often not given in the Qur'an, as it was Revealed as a Guide to all peoples, relevant to all contexts and situations. It was not purported to be merely a history text or biography of the events and people who were behind the events that caused Allah to manifest these beautiful Ayaat.
So instead of saying "Your Wali is Allah, and Hu's Rasul, and `Ali; who established worship and paid the poor due while he was in Ruku’ in prayer," Allah takes the example of an act of Imam `Ali (as) and makes a general and universally relevant statement regarding the nature of the Imam's (as) example.
"Verily your Wali is Allah, and Hu’s Rasul, and those who believe; who establish worship and pay the poor due while they are in Ruku’ in prayer." Al-Qur’an, Surah 5:55
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ
