His incumbency was among the shortest of all Da'is, lasting more than a month.[2] He was the successor to the 21st Da'i Syedna Husain Husamuddin to the religious post.
Syedna Ali had an amicable personality. He summoned people collectively and individually, inquiring about their well-being, giving them valuable advice and guiding towards the right part.
