Our 11th Imam, whose birth anniversary we commemorate this week is the only Imam to directly share a title with another Imam – his father, Imam Ali ibne Muhammad (who is also known as Al-Hadi).  On this auspicious occasion, we offer our congratulations to our living Imam and spend some time to learn more about this noble personality.

Imam was born on the 10th of Rabi’ al Thaani (also called Rabi’ al Aakher) in the city of his grandfather – Madinatul Nabi. However, just as his noble ancestors, he was brought to the city of Samarra, which at that time was the capital of the Muslim government so that he and his family could be under more direct watch and supervision.

Hundreds of Shia Muslims took part in a religious procession yesterday to mark Muharram, the month of mourning.

Men, women and children wore black as a symbolic display of grief over the slaying of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Imam Husayn, whose death is thought to be one of the most tragic events in Islamic history.

The Holy Prophet and our Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them all) underwent numerous hardship in their service of the religion of Islam. As we enter the month of Safar, we remember the oppression done against the fourth Infallible, Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him). His sufferings started at a young age, seeing his mother Lady Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) attacked, injured, and martyred. He also witnessed the usurpation of the rights of Imam Ali (peace be upon him). His sufferings continued as he witnessed his father martyred in the Mosque of Kufa. It was then that Imam Hasan became the Imam of the time, but his sufferings and the oppression done to him only increased, leading to his martyrdom 10 years later. And from the day he was killed until today, Imam Hasan is still the victim of oppressive historians, governments, and cultures.
