Born in Madina fifteenth Ramadan third 12 months of Hijri. Elder son of ‘Ali and Fatima, grandson of the Prophet of Islam. When he changed into born and the news of the start of a grandson changed into conveyed to the Holy Prophet he came to the residence of Fatima, took preserve of the infant in his palms, said Azan and Iqamah in his ears and said, that is a lovely child, I call him Hasan.
He will preserve Islam and Muslims safe from the hands of its destroyers. Historians word that this child looked like his grandfather the Holy Prophet in appears and in manners.
Under the blessed shadow of the Holy Prophet Hasan turned into receiving his training from the maximum blessed dad and mom on the earth. Coming to the mosque of the Prophet, taking note of the Sermons of his grandfather and seeing Islam prosper became the lesson you'll in no way forget.
Whenever he came to the mosque, the Holy Prophet might choose him up, would allow him take a seat beside him and let the attentive companions see and behold who this boy was. They all cherished his presence in the mosque and cared for him.
Time soon handed and Hasan (as) become infrequently 8 years old whilst his grandfather died and shortly after his mom additionally died. The subsequent 25 years of his life in Madina become together with his father ‘Ali (as) and along with his more youthful brother Husayn (as).
This changed into the duration in which conquests of many lands took place and the city of Madina and its humans prospered. His father or any family member of the Prophet did no longer take any hand in those conquests. They remained aloof but not from the developing Muslim society. Their fundamental aim became to educate and put together this fledgling right into a mature Muslim society for harder instances beforehand.
Wealth became pouring in from the conquests of Egypt and Persia and many partners of the Prophet did no longer know what to do with it or a way to spend it properly. Many partners constructed big houses for themselves with stables and servants. What ‘Ali (as) and his family did became to shape a Trust and anything proportion of prosperity came to them they put all into this Trust.
It is through this Trust folks who did now not have an awful lot to advantage from this prosperity have been given to have a decent lifestyles. Both kids of ‘Ali (as) had been the Trustees of this holy consider and with the assist of many senior companions of the Holy Prophet the workings of this accept as true with prospered and many new converts had been helped to settle themselves on this new society.
Every night meals become served to lots of those who had been no longer in a role to offer for themselves. While the own family of ‘Ali (as) lived in small house and with none pomp or luxurious for themselves. This turned into the instance they have been setting for all to see and observe that even when you have grow to be wealthy you percentage your bounties with other Muslim brothers and sisters to make the society equally prosperous and satisfied.
In these 25 years Hasan (as) has seen the Islamic State grow into a much larger and greater effective Muslim state. After the death of the third Caliph Osman his father ‘Ali (as) became elected caliph by way of a famous vote of the partners of the Holy Prophet. But quickly there emerged those who desired loads of fashion from ‘Ali (as) and when they did now not get it they stood against him.
The war of Jamal turned into fought and received via ‘Ali (as) and the capital of the Muslim country became removed from Madinah to Kufa. Kufa changed into established at some point of the reign of the 2nd caliph as a garrison metropolis and changed into tons extra valuable to the massively developing Muslim Empire than Madinah. This turned into a very prudent move to present a higher manipulate over all corners of this growing Muslim kingdom which stretched from North Africa within the West, to Persia and Azerbaijan in the East.
‘Ali (as) has appointed his own straightforward Governors of the provinces but none of them from his own family. All his children stayed with him at the center or in Madinah to govern the Trust he had shaped earlier or to enroll in in the battles of Jamal, Siffin and Nahrwan fought in the course of the existence of the Khilafat of ‘Ali (as) Hasan (as) took element along with his father in some of these battles and shown the normal Hashemite bravery and skill in defeating the enemy.
In these battles the real adversary of ‘Ali (as) and his family become Moawiya ibne Abu Sofian who challenged ‘Ali’s authority and fought with him to remain the governor and later the ruler of the province of Syria.
His atrocities in opposition to the rule of ‘Ali (as) continued even after the close to defeat at Siffin. After the martyrdom of ‘Ali (as) inside the mosque of Kufa in forty one Hijri and the election of Hasan (as) as the following caliph become a thorn in the heart of Moawiya.
His propaganda gadget towards the House of ‘Ali (as) , in reality towards Islam, commenced its paintings in earnest. Large sums of cash and fraudulent promises of great houses and governorships of provinces have been given to many commanders of Hasan’s (as) navy who abandoned and left Hasan (as) with out a great deal strength.
One salient function one ought to consider while analyzing about the lives of these Ma’sumeen that they never waged struggle for acquisition of worldly energy. It become therefore the hallmark of Imam Hasan ‘s (as) existence that making peace changed into his proportion within the same manner as the Prophet of Islam did in Hodaibiya. Some unlucky companions of the Prophet doubted even him of his understanding to make peace to which the Prophet spoke back," he changed into the messenger of God and his commands continually come from God."
When human beings in Madinah disagreed with Imam Hasan’s mindset and questioned his wisdom he spoke back that his moves have been much like that of Prophet Khidhr who acted to save on 3 events the lives and assets of Orphans and lots of believers of God. Even Prophet Musa was unable to realize the understanding of those moves until this turned into explained to him.
As the lifestyle tells us that" within the blood of martyrs lays the ink of history "and frequently bedazzled via the heroic beauty in their sacrifices, we overlook the many events when the greater Jihad has lain along the direction of peace than battle.
His confrontation with Moawiya demanded a treaty in place of blood and Imam’s victory lay in that treaty and inside the renovation of these faithful Muslims whose premature dying in conflict at that point could have extinguished the light of Islam original.
It become the lifestyles of Imam Hasan (as) that paved the manner for his more youthful brother’s superb stand. They have been two aspects of the equal coin, one on residing the Jihad of peace and the opposite the Jihad of martyrdom.
Both acted out their paths absolutely, bearing the banner of their blessed grandfather, in uncompromising defense of Right and in denial of evil. They joyfully praised their author in happiness and in adversity, filing to His Divine laws and leaving for us an instance of correct behavior each in peace and in warfare.
Here were two brothers who from their cradle breathed the air of pure spirit of Islam, nurtured with the aid of the affection of the Prophet in whose close company they spent their early years. It was the Holy Prophet who stated that each “Hasan and Husayn are the chiefs of the adolescents of paradise”.
Several traditions from his mother and from Umme Salemah, the wife of the Prophet, honestly suggest that Imam Hasan (as) was one of these 5 who have been included inside the Verse of purification (33-33)” Certainly Allah wants to hold away all abomination from you, contributors of the house, to preserve you pure and spotless.”
The Prophet then covered them with a garment and stated,” those are the members of my residence. Allah, keep away abomination from them and maintain them pure and spotless.” It become also in the course of the occasion of Mubahela that the Prophet took those 5 with him to expose the arena who have been the individuals of his family (Ahlul Bayt).
It is stated on the authority of Anas bin Malik that no one was more like the Prophet of God than Al-Hasan bin ‘Ali. (as)
The Treaty agreed upon between Moawiya and Imam Hasan (as) tells us the subsequent salient factors:
1. That Moawiya need to rule strictly consistent with the Holy Qur’an and the Sunna of the Prophet.
2. That Moawiya must not employ or nominate everyone to the Khilafat after him but that the choice need to be left to the Muslims.
3. That the humans should be left in peace, anyplace they're in the land of God.
Four. That the persecution of the partners of Imam ‘Ali (as) have to straight away be stopped; their lives and homes and households assured secure behavior and peace.
Five. That the cursing of Imam ‘Ali (as) from the pulpit should forestall right now.
6. That no damage have to be performed secretly or brazenly towards Imam Hasan and his brother Imam Husayn or any of the Ahlul Bayt. (as)
This settlement concluded, Imam Hasan (as) went to Kufa, shortly accompanied by Moawiya who came there to take the allegiance of the humans. In a speech delivered in front of Moawaiya, Imam Hasan (as) explained the scenario absolutely:
“O’People, Allah has guided you via our elders (Muhammad and ‘Ali) and spared you from bloodshed via people who observed (regarding himself). Indeed this (the Khilafat) is not anything but a passing phase, these worldly possessions hold transferring and changing arms."
For inasmuch as Moawiya preferred the sovereignty on this international, so Imam Hasan’s challenge changed into not with worldly management for its personal sake, but as a device wherein he may guide the human beings toward God and His authentic commandments.
After his abdication he retired to Madinah in which he spent the ultimate ten years of his existence coaching the Qur’an and expertise of real Deen to all seekers of fact that came to him. Imam Hasan (as) had in no way relinquished the position of an Imam and manual as appointed via God.
History tells us that from day one Moawiya did not follow any individual of the phrases of the treaty agreed upon between him and Imam Hasan (as) He trampled the treaty under his feet announcing to the human beings of Kufa,”do you watched I have taken electricity to train you approximately Islam.
No, I actually have taken power for the sake of it and if anyone of you tries to disagree with me shall pay a expensive fee of losing his head.(Tarikul Kholafa, Jalaluddin Soyuti)
Moawiya finished his ambition of keeping the electricity in his family by way of nominating his son Yazid after him as the ruler of the Kingdom. This demanded that Imam Hasan (as) need to predecease him, an not likely event thinking about their discrepancy of their a while.
Hence Moawiya bribed Ju’da bint Ash’ath, to poison him in 50 Hijri. Imam died with the impact of poisoning on twenty eighth of the month of Safar. He turned into forty seven years old.
In his closing will and testament Imam requested his brother Imam Husayn (as) to take his frame to the grave in their grand father the Prophet of Islam and then bury him by way of the side of the grave of his mother Fatima (sa) in Jannatul Baqii, for he knew that those who are towards the circle of relatives of the Prophet might not allow him bury through the facet of his grandfather.
Imam knew of the animosity of the Banu Umayya with the Prophet and his own family. He did not desire to have any dispute or combat over his burial. But alas when the frame of the Imam became taken toward the grave of the Holy Prophet within the mosque, the equal enemy about whom Imam had warned, got here out and prevented the mourners to attain the grave of the Prophet.
When Imam Husayn (as) realized that if he insists on taking the frame of his brother closer the grave of the Prophet there will be bloodshed, he avoided it and took him away and buried him in Jannatul Baqii next to the grave of his mom.
Imam Hasan’s (as) three sons, Qasim, Abdullah and Hasan-e-Muthanna, had been in Karbala’ and took part within the Jihad with their uncle Imam Husayn (as). Qasim and Abdullah died of their wounds but Hasan-e-Muthanna survived. He was most of the wounded and was taken out alive by means of the Banu Asad Tribesmen. They handled his wounds and once he changed into better he back lower back to Madinah.
It appears that he stayed with the Banu Asad for over a year and whilst the own family of the Prophet were launched from captivity and lower back to Karbala’ he joined the caravan and back with them to Madinah after the Arabeen within the 12 months 62 Hijri. He was approximately 17 years antique at that point. Later, he married Imam Husayn ‘s (as) daughter Fatima Sughra. It is from this marriage that the descendants oImam Hasan (as) take their line in the own family tree.
Hasan-e-Muthanna’s son Abdullah had four sons, Muhammad Nafse Zakiyya, Ibrahim ,Sulaiman and Idris. Nafse Zakiyya rose towards Mansur the 2nd Abbasid Caliph and received martyrdom, in the 12 months 142 Hijri, 762 AD. Ibrahim fought Mansur in Baghdad and was martyred. This become in 143 Hijri 763 AD(See Hitti,History of the Arabs) Two other super grandsons of Imam Hasan, Sulaiman and Idris migrated to Iran and Tunisia respectively.
Descendents of Imam Hasan from Idris flourished in North Africa and brought Islam in the Maghrib. From Sulaiman, who settled in Kirman, many of his descendents unfold Islam in Persia and some of them later migrated to India. The author of this ebook is likewise one of the descendents of Imam Hasan (as) from the line via Sulaiman.
Imam Hasan’s (as) life was considered one of difficulty and trial. Like the lives of his grandfather tProphet of Islam, his father ‘Ali (as) , his mom Fatima (sa) and plenty of contributors of the Ahlul Bayt after him. Life is a check as Qur’an tells us. For a few,the difficulties of life make him smug or agnostic however not the human beings of the household of the Prophet.
They persisted all varieties of hardships with thanks to God all the time. He saw his mom brutally injured and died at an early age. He saw his father martyred in the mosque of Kufa. He saw the individuals who have been given the clear signs and symptoms from his grandfather, abandon the” Deen” for wealth and energy. He saw his personal supporters flip towards him.
Yet his loss of life request to his brother become not to have any quarrel over his burial. His life is a sign and a reminder that for the people of the Household of the Prophet there could be adversity however they take all in entire submission to God and His commandments.
A well-known announcing of Imam Hasan is “In regard to the arena be as if you had been going to live forever. With admire to the Hereafter, be as in case you have been going to die day after today.”
This is an invite to movement, care and interest and avoidance of negligence and indifference, whether it is in recognize of the work of this international or the Hereafter. This similarly confirms the saying of the Holy Prophet who said, “The Momin is someone who attends the affairs of this global as well as of the Hereafter in the maximum perfect way,”
