About Ali Pasha ibn Abd Allah

Lived 1859 – 1941 (aged 81–82).

‘Alī Pāshā ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn Muḥammad (; , ; 1859–1941) was a sharif of the Awn clan who served as Emir and Grand Sharif of Mecca from 1905 until he was deposed in the Young Turk Revolution of 1908.

He and his cousin Sharif Husayn ibn Ali were given the rank of pasha after the death of his father Sharif Abd Allah Pasha in 1877. Abd al-Ilah, the younger brother of Awn ar-Rafiq, was the eldest of the House of Awn, but Sultan Abdul Hamid instead confirmed Sharif Ali as Emir and raised him to the rank of vizier and mushir. The telegraph confirming Ali's appointment arrived in mid-October, while the written irade (decree) is dated 2 Ramadan 1323 AH (c. 31 October 1905). However his formal investiture as Emir did not occur until April 1908. He was dismissed in October 1908, and was instructed to leave the Hejaz soon so as to avoid attacks on his person similar to those received by Ahmed Ratib. However he repeatedly delayed his departure, and in April 1909 Sharif Husayn insisted on the removal of the former Emir. Ali left Mecca and settled under British rule in Cairo, where he lived until his death in 1941.
