Shias wear green because it is the color associated with Imam Ali, the fourth Rashidun Caliph and the first Imam in Shia Islam.
- Prophet Muhammad's mantle: According to Shia tradition, Prophet Muhammad gifted his green cloak (also known as a burda) to Imam Ali. This gesture symbolizes the transfer of prophethood and leadership to Imam Ali.
- Symbol of peace and prosperity: The color green is also associated with peace, prosperity, and paradise in Islamic culture. This reinforces its importance in Shia beliefs.
- Mourning for Imam Hussein: Some Shias wear green to symbolize the mourning for Imam Hussein, the third Imam, who was martyred in the Battle of Karbala.
The color green holds significance in Shia Islam and represents a lineage connection to the Prophet Muhammad and the Imams.
