Islamic World Marks Birth Anniversary of Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba with Global Commemorations
\n—————————————
\nMuslim communities around the world are commemorating the birth anniversary of Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), the eldest grandson of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his pure family), observed on the 15th day of the holy month of Ramadan. <\/p>\n
More details in the following report:<\/p>\n
The anniversary is being observed amid calls from prominent religious figures, including Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Husseini al-Shirazi, to dedicate a series of commemorative events known as \u201cHassani Days.\u201d The week-long observance focuses on highlighting the life, teachings, and historical legacy of Imam Hassan (peace be upon him).<\/p>\n
According to Islamic historical sources, Imam Hassan was born in 3 A.H. in the city of Medina to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon them all). Traditions state that the Prophet waited for divine instruction regarding the newborn\u2019s name, which was conveyed through Archangel Gabriel as \u201cHassan,\u201d meaning \u201cbeautiful\u201d or \u201cgood.\u201d Historical accounts also describe the Imam as closely resembling the Prophet in appearance and character, and his birth was celebrated as a moment of great joy for the Prophet\u2019s household.<\/p>\n
Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) assumed leadership of the Muslim community in 40 A.H. following the martyrdom of his father, Imam Ali (peace be upon him). His period of leadership is particularly remembered for the peace treaty he concluded with Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan (may Divine curse be upon him for eternity). Historians widely interpret the decision as a strategic move aimed at preventing widespread bloodshed and preserving unity within the Muslim community, although several provisions of the agreement were later violated.<\/p>\n
He became widely known by the title Karim Ahl al-Bayt\u2014\u201cthe Generous One of the Prophet\u2019s Household\u201d\u2014for his well-known acts of charity. Historical records recount that he repeatedly distributed large portions of his wealth to support the poor and vulnerable, emphasizing humility, social justice, and compassion.<\/p>\n
In Iraq, Holy Shrines and public spaces in cities such as Karbala and Najaf have been decorated with banners and lights to mark the mid-Ramadan celebration. Similar events are taking place in mosques, Islamic centers, and community institutions across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and North America.<\/p>\n
His lonely grave lies in Jannat al-Baqi in Meddina, along with those of Imam al-Sajjad, Imam al-Baqir, and Imam al-Saddiq (peace be upon them all), receiving no visitors amid restrictions imposed by the Wahabi regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
