Explanation

Medina was the first capital of the Islamic state and remained so during the caliphates of Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman.

Hazrat Ali (RA) shifted the capital to Kufa (present-day Iraq) in 657 CE (36 AH).

The move marked a new administrative center during Hazrat Ali’s caliphate, different from the earlier period centered in Medina.

Hazrat Ali remains khalifa from 656-661 CE.
