"Both Ali and I were a solitary light close God four thousand years prior to he made Adam. At the point when God made Adam, God set this light in his loins and exchanged it through him starting with one era then onto the next era until it came to the loins of Abdul Mutalib. At that point God took it out of Abdul Mutalib's loin; separated it into two sections; put one section in Abdullah's loins; and set the other part in Abi Talib's loins. Consequently, Ali (as) is from me and I am from Ali (as). His tissue is from my fragile living creature and his blood is from my blood. Whoever adores me will likewise cherish Ali (as).

At that point He made that light to live in that mud. We were then a Nooraani (light) animal of the individual species. He has not put anything as an offer from that which we were made in any other person. He has made the spirits of our Shi'a from our mud and their bodies from a safeguarded and concealed earth from beneath that mud. Allah has not put anything as an offer of that which they are made in anybody aside from the prophets. Along these lines, our adherents and we turned into the individuals. Whatever remains of the individuals got to be rabble for the flame and to the flame."

Husayn ibn 'Ali

Husayn ibn 'Ali

Al-Husayn ibn 'Ali Sayyidu'sh-Shuhada 

(Peace be Upon him) 

Name: al-Husayn. 

Title: Sayyidu'sh-Shuhada'. 

Agnomen: Abu 'Abdillah. 

Father' s name: 'Ali Amir al-Mu'minin. 

Mother's name:Fatimah (Daughter of the Holy Prophet). 

Conception: In Medina on Thursday, 3rd Sha'ban 4 AH. 

Passing: Martyred in Karbala' (Iraq) at 57 years old, on Friday, 10th Muharram 61 AH and covered there.

In the House of the Holy Prophet, which displayed the best picture of both the universes - the paradise and the earth- a youngster who profited humankind as though he was a Divine Impression mirroring the earth, was conceived on one of the evenings of the month of Sha'ban. His dad was Imam 'Ali, the best model of generosity towards his companions and the most daring against the foes of Islam, and his mom was Hadrat Fatimah, the main girl and offspring of the Holy Prophet, who had as generally recognized, acquired the characteristics of her dad. Imam Husayn, is the third Apostolic Imam. At the point when the uplifting news of his introduction to the world came to the Holy Prophet, he went to his girl's home, took the recently conceived tyke in his arms, presented adhan and iqamah in his privilege and left ears separately, and on the 7th day of his introduction to the world, in the wake of performing the customs of 'aqlqah, named him al-Husayn, in consistence with Allah's charge. 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas relates: "On the very day when Imam Husayn was conceived, Allah requested holy messenger Gabriel to plunge and salute the Holy Prophet on His Behalf and all alone.

While plummeting, Gabriel ignored an island where the holy messenger Futrus had been exiled because of his deferral in executing a commission doled out by Allah. He was denied of his wings and ousted to the island where he stayed for quite a while begging and loving Allah and requesting His pardoning. "At the point when the heavenly attendant Futrus saw Gabriel, he got out, " Where are you going, O Gabriel?' To this he answered, " Husayn, the grandson of Muhammad is conceived, and for this very reason Allah has told me to pass on His congrats to His Apostle.' Thereupon, the holy messenger said, " Can you convey me likewise alongside you? Might Muhammad prescribe my case to Allah.' Gabriel brought the holy messenger alongside him, went to the Holy Prophet, offered congrats to him in the interest of Allah and himself and alluded the instance of the heavenly attendant to him.

The Holy Prophet said to Gabriel, 'Request that the holy messenger touch the assortment of the recently conceived kid and come back to his spot in Heaven.' On doing this, the point re-acquired his wings immediately and commending the Holy Prophet and his recently conceived grandson, climbed towards the Heaven. Hasan and Husayn, the two children of the Holy Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and Hadrat Fatimah, our Lady of Light, were regarded and venerated as the 'Pioneers of the Youths of Paradise' as expressed by the Holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be Upon him and his offspring, had transparently forecasted that the confidence of Islam would be safeguarded by his second grandson Husayn, when Yazid, child of Mu'awiayh, would try to wreck it. Yazid was known for his malevolent character and brutish behavior.

He was known as the most vulgar of men. The individuals having known and comprehended the character of Yazid, framed a pledge by which Mu'awiyah couldn't choose Yazid as his successor. This endeavor was given by Mu'awiyah to Imam Hasan from whom Mu`awiyah had grabbed force. Mu'awiyah disregarded this endeavor and named Yazid who succeeded his dad. Promptly as he came to power, Yazid started acting in full understanding with his known character. He began meddling in the essentials of the confidence and honed each bad habit and naughtiness unreservedly with the most noteworthy level of exemption but held himself out as the successor of the Holy Prophet, requesting constancy to himself as the main aide of the confidence.

Paying faithfulness to Yazid was out and out recognizing the fallen angel as Cod. In the event that a heavenly identity like the blessed Imam Husayn had consented to his power, it would be really prescribing the demon to mankind set up of Cod. Yazid requested fidelity from the Holy Imam Husayn, who could have never consented to it at any expense. The individuals dreading demise and demolition because of the despot had respected him out of trepidation. Imam Husayn said that come what- ever might, he would never respect the villain set up of God and fix what his granddad, the Holy Prophet had built up. The refusal of the Holy Imam to pay fidelity to this beast, denoted the begin of the mistreatment of the Holy Imam. Accordingly he had resigned to Medina where he drove a confined life. Indeed, even here he was not permitted to live in peace, and was compelled to look for shelter in Mecca where additionally he was severely annoyed, and Yazid plotted to murder him in the very regions of the considerable haven of Ka'bah.

So as to defend the considerable haven, Imam Husayn chose to leave Mecca for Kufah only a day prior to tile haj (journey). At the point when approached the purpose behind the secretive takeoff from Mecca previous the pioneer  age which was just the following day Imam Husayn said that he would perform the current year's journey at Karbala', Offering the penance not of any creatures, but rather of his friends and relatives and some unwavering companions. He identified the names of his friends and relatives who might set out their lives with him in the considerable penance at Karbala'. The populace of Kufah becoming weary of the tyrannic and sinister principle of Yazid, had composed countless letters and sent emissaries to Imam Husayn to come over and issue them direction in confidence. In spite of the fact that Imam

Husayn knew a definitive end of the welcomes, he as the incredibly picked Imam couldn't decline to give the direction looked for. At the point when the Holy Imam with his escort had come to karbala', his stallion bafflingly halted and would not move any further. Upon this the heavenly Imam proclaimed: "This is the area, the place where there is sufferings and torments." He landed from his stallion, and requested his devotees to stay there saying: Here should we be martyred and our youngsters be slaughtered. Here should our tents be smoldered and our family captured. This is the area about which my granddad the Holy Prophet had anticipated, and his prediction will positively be satisfied." 

On the 7th of Muharram water supply to the lmam's carnp was cut and the torment of thirst and appetite began. the heavenly Imam's camp comprised of women, honest youngsters including children and some male individuals from the Holy prophet's family; alongside a little band of some loyal companions of Imam Husayn who had decided to pass on with the Holy Imam, battling against the demon for the reason for Allah.

The Day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram): 

At day break the Imam looked over the armed force of Yazid and saw 'Umar ibn Sa'd requesting his strengths to walk to- wards him. He accumulated his devotees and tended to them in this manner: "Allah has, this day, allowed us to be occupied with a Holy War and He might compensate us for our affliction. So set yourselves up to battle against the adversaries of Islam with persistence and resistance. O children of the honorable and self-regarding persons, be tolerant ! heath is only a scaffold which you must cross subsequent to confronting hardships to achieve Heaven and its delights. Which of you don't care to go from this jail (world) to the elevated royal residences (Paradise ) ? " Having heard the Imam's address, every one of his mates were overpowered and shouted out, "O our Master! We are trouble prepared to safeguard you and your Ahlu 'I-hayt, and to give up our lives for the reason for Islam." Imam Husayn conveyed from his camp one after an- other to battle and penance their lives in the method for the Lord. In conclusion, when every one of his men and kids had set out their lives, Imam Husayn brought his six-month old infant child 'Ali al-Asghar, and offering him all alone hands, requested some water for the infant, biting the dust of thirst. The thirst of the child was extinguished by a savage harmed bolt from the animal's strengths, which stuck the infant's neck to the arm of the powerless father. Finally when the six-month old child likewise was killed, Imam Husayn tended to Allah: "O Lord! Thy Husayn has offered in Thy way whatever Thou hath favored him with. Favor Thy Husayn, O Lord! with the acknowledgement of this penance.

Everything Husayn could do till now was through Thy help and by Thy Grace." Lastly, Imam Husayn came into the field and was slaughtered, the subtle elements of which unfeeling butcher are grievous. The strengths of Yazid having murdered Imam Husayn, cut and disjoined his head from his body and raised it on a spear. The disjoined leader of the Holy Imam started celebrating Allah from the purpose of the spear saying, 'Allahu Akbar'. "All superbness be to Allah Who is the Greatest!" After the wholesale, unfeeling and most severe butcher of the Holy Imam with his unwavering band, the assistance  less women and youngsters alongside the feeble child of Imam Husayn, Imam 'Ali Zaynu 'l-'Abidin, were taken hostages.

A few Sayings of the Holy Prophet During his Lifetime with Reference to Imam Husayn: 

1. Hasan and Husayn are the Leaders of the Youths of Paradise. 

2. Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn, Allah becomes friends with the individuals who     get to know Husayn and He is the foe of the individuals who bear animosity to him. 

3. Whosoever wishes to see such a man who lives on earth however whose respect is             respected by the Heaven- occupants, ought to see my grandson Husayn. 

4. O my child! thy tissue is my fragile living creature and thy blood is my blood; thou       craftsmanship a pioneer, the child of a pioneer and the sibling of a pioneer; thou workmanship an otherworldly guide, the child of a profound aide and the sibling of a profound aide; thou workmanship an Apostolical Imam, the child of an Apostolical Imam and the sibling of an Apostolical Imam; thou craftsmanship the father of nine Imams, the ninth of whom would be the Qa'im (the last trustworthy profound aide). 

5. The discipline delivered on the killer of Husayn in Hell would be equivalent to a large portion of the aggregate discipline to be forced on the whole delinquents of the world.


6. At the point when the Holy Prophet educated Hadrat Fatimah of the affliction in store for his grandson, she begin sobbing uncontrollably and asked, "O my dad ! at the point when might my child be martyred?" "In such a basic minute," answered the Holy Prophet, "When neither I nor you, nor 'ALI would be alive." This complemented her sadness and she asked once more, "Who then, O my dad, would celebrate Husayn's affliction? " The Holy Prophet said, "The men and the ladies of a specific group of my supporters, who will become friends with my Ahlul-Bayt, will grieve for Husayn and remember his affliction every year in consistently."

Ibn Sa'd describes from fiery debris Sha'bi: 

Imam 'Ali, while on his approach to Siffin, went through the desert of Karbala', there he halted and sobbed bitingly. At the point when investigated with respect to the reason for his sobbing, he remarked that one day he went to the Holy Prophet and discovered him sobbing. When he solicited the Apostle from Allah in respect to what was the reason which made him sob, he answered, "O 'ALI, Gabriel has quite recently been with me and educated me that my child Husayn would be martyred in Karbala', a spot close to the bank of the River Euphrates. This moved me so much that I couldn't help sobbing."

Imam Hasan (A.S)

Imam Hasan (A.S)

Al-Hasan Ibn 'Ali al-Mujtaba 

( Peace be Upon him ) 

Name: al-Hasan. 

Title: al-Mujtaba. 

Agnomen: Abu Muhammad. 

Father's name: 'All Amir al-Mu'minin. 

Mother's name: Fatimah (little girl of the Holy Prophet). 

Conception: In Medina on Tuesday, 15th Ramadan 3 AH. 

Demise: Died at 46 years old, in Medina on Thursday, 28th Safar 50 AH; covered in Jannatu 'I-Baqi, in Medina.

Imam Hasan was the eldest child of Imam 'Ali and Hadrat Fatimah. At the point when the Holy Prophet got the content news of the conception of his grandson, he went to the place of his cherished girl, took the recently conceived kid in his arms, presented adhan and iqamah in his privilege and left ears individually, and in agreeability with Allah's summon named him al-Hasan.

Adolescence: 

The primary period of seven years of his earliest stages was honored with the generous support of the Holy Prophet, who talented him all his extraordinary qualities and embellished him with Divine information, resilience, knowledge, abundance and valor. Being reliable by conception and finished with great learning by Allah, his understanding had an entrance to al-lawhu'I-mahfuz (the Guarded Tablet on which the exchanges of humankind have been composed by Allah for all time everlasting). The Holy Imam quickly got to be acquainted with all the substance of any wahy (Qur'anic verses) uncovered when the Holy Prophet would unveil it to his partners. To the considerable amazement of the Holy Prophet, Hadrat Fatimah would regularly present the accurate content of a recently uncovered wahy before he revealed it actually to her. When he asked, she would illuminate him that it was Hasan through whom she had taken in the Revelation.

Recognition of Allah: 

The Holy Imam committed himself to requests to God in such wealth, that all the appendages utilized in surrender exhaust scars and impressions of his Sajdah (surrender). The majority of the evenings were spent on the petition to God floor covering. The feeling of his assimilation and embarrassment in petitions to God to Allah were in such sincere that he would shed removes abundantly from trepidation of Allah. While performing thorough cleansing, he trembled with the apprehension of Allah and his face developed pale at the season of requests to God. His sincere contemplation in the offering of petitions to God and his great ingestion in unifying fellowship with Allah would render him altogether oblivious to his surroundings.

Imamate: 

The downfall of the Holy Prophet was trailed by a momentous time when the Islamic world (under the false governing bodies) came in the grasp of the fever of expansionism and victory. Anyway, even under such a progressive stage, Imam Hasan continued committing himself to the hallowed mission of calmly spreading Islam and the teachings of the Holy Prophet alongside his awesome father Imam 'Ali. The suffering of Imam 'All on the 21st Ramadan denoted the initiation of Imam Hasan's Imamate.

The lion's share of Muslims promised their fidelity to him and finished the convention of bay'ah (vow of faithfulness). No sooner had he taken the reins of initiative into his hands than he needed to meet the test of Mu'awiyah, the Governor of Syria, who announced a war against him. In consistence with the Will of Allah and with a perspective to avoid creating the slaughter of Muslims anyway, he went into a piece arrangement with Mu'awiyah on terms (however not completely regarded and did by Mu'awiyah), yet spared Islam and halted a common war. Yet, this peace bargain was never implied as a surrender by him of the changeless administration to Mu'awiyah. It was implied just as a between time exchange of the organization of the Islamic kingdom, subject to the condition that the commercial  ministration would be surrendered back to Imam Hasan after Mu'awiyah's passing and afterward it would thusly be acquired by Imam Husayn. Having assuaged himself of the regulatory obligations, Imam Hasan kept the religious initiative with himself and committed his life to the engendering of Islam and the teachings of the Holy Prophet in Medina.

Suffering: 

Mu'awiyah's malignance against Imam Hasan drove him to contrive with the Imam's wife Ja'dah, the little girl of Ash'ath. She was made to give the Imam some toxin which influenced his liver. Imam Hasan consequently succumbed to Mu'awiyah's deadly fiendishness and achieved his suffering on 28th Safar 50 AH. His burial service was gone to by Imam Husayn and the individuals from the Hashimite crew. His casket while being taken for internment to the Holy Prophet's tomb was shot at with bolts by his adversaries, (under direct supervision and assent of 'A'ishah), and it must be occupied for entombment to the Jannatu 'I-Baq;' at Medina. His tomb was devastated alongside others on 8th Shawwal 1344 (21st April 1926) by the Saudi rulers when they came to power in .Hijaz.

The terms of the peace bargain were soon abused, yet earned just a fleeting heavenliness for Mu'awiyah. Its repercussions demonstrated sad and destined the destiny of his child Yzid and managed a lethal hit to the whole group of Umayyads. After the passing of Mu'awiyah, Imam Husayn rose as the unconquerable pile of truth and determination. In the frightful disaster of Karbala', by sheer drive of numbers, and by separating the seventy-two individuals from Imam Husayn' s gathering and preventing them from notwithstanding getting water to drink for three days, Yazid succeeded in demolishing the seventy-two persons including individuals from the Imam's family who were with him. This devious achievement of Yazid was, on the other hand, brief. The Muslims betrayed him on learning of the grievous demonstration he had submitted and this brought about the destruction of Yazid and the eradication of the Umayyad power from the substance of the earth.

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S)

Imam ALI A.S

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S) was conceived on 13th of Rajab of the 30th year of Elephant (A.D) Prophet of Allah was then 30 year old, his mom Fatma binte Asad, father Abi Talib ibn Abdul Muttalib both of the groups of Hashim. 

Imam Ali was conceived inside the Kaaba in Makkah, Masoodi, the herodotous of the Arabs, composes on page 76 of Volume II of his book, Murooj-udh-Dahab (Golden Meadows), that one of the best refinement that Ali (A.S.) appreciated was that he was conceived in the House of Allah. 

Among the current Historians, Abbas Mahmood al Akkad of Egypt writes in his book Al-'Abqarriet al-Imam Ali, (Cairo,1970), that Ali ibn Abu Talib was conceived inside the Kaaba. Another contemporary antiquarian, Mahmood Saeed al-Tantawi, of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, Arab Republic of Egypt, composes on page 186 of his book, Min Fada-il al Ashrat al-Mubashireen bil Janna (1976) watches : 

"Might God shows kindness upon Ali ibn Abu Talib. He was conceived in Kaaba. He saw the ascent of Islam; he saw the Dawa of Mohammad, and he was a witness of the Wahi (Revelation of Al-Quran al Majid). He promptly acknowledged Islam despite the fact that he was still a kid, and he battled all his life so that the Word of Allah would  be incomparable"

"It was a custom of the Arabs that when a youngster was conceived, he was put at the feet of the tribal icon or icons, therefore typically  "dedicating" him to the agnostic diety. All Arab youngsters were "dedicated to the symbols with the exception of Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S.). At the point when other Arab kids were conceived, some idolator came to welcome them and to take them in his arm. However, when Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S.) was conceived, Mohammad (SAW), the future dispatcher of God, came into the areas of the Kaaba to welcome him. He took the baby  into his arms, and committed him into the administration of Allah. The future Prophet probably realized that newborn child in his arms was some time or another going to be foe of all idolates and of their divine beings and godesses. At the point when Ali (A.S.) grew up, he extirpated idolatory and ploytheism from Arabia with his sword. Conception is Kaaba was one out of numerous qualifications that God offered to Ali (A.S.) . Another refinement that he delighted in was that he never loved the icons. This again makes him one of a kind since all Arabs revered symbols for a considerable length of time and years before they renounced idolatory and acknowledged Islam. It is thus that he is called "he whose face was respected by Allah. His face was surely respected by Allah as it was the main face that never bowed any idol. Syed Asghar Ali Razwy; pp.32-33. 

At the point when Ali (A.S.)  was five years of age, Mohammad (SAW) embraced him, and from that minute they never to withdraw with one another. 

Mohammad (SAW) and Khadijah (p.b.u.h) received Ali (A.S.) embraced Ali (A.S.)  after the passing they could call their own children. Ali (A.S) subsequently filled a void in their lives. Anyway, Mohammad (SAW), the future Prophet, additionally had another purpose behind embracing Ali (A.S). He lifted him to raise, to instruct him, and to prepare him for the colossal detiny that anticipated him in the times to come. Dr. Taha Hussain of Egypt says that the Messenger of God himself turned into Ali's aide, instructor and educator, and this is one more qualification that he appreciates, furthermore, which nobody else offers with him Ali (A.S). Razwy Ibid. pp. 33-34.

Å"Similarly, it might be said that of every last one of companions and buddies of Mohammad (SAW), the Prophet of  Islam,  Ali (A.S.) is the singular case out of many others who experienced childhood in the full light of history. There is no piece of his life, whether it is his outset, youth, youth, masculinity, or development, that is escaped the spotlight of history. He was the cynosure of everyone's eyes from his introduction to the world to his passing. Then again, whatever is left of friendlies of the Prophet go to the consideration of the understudies of history when they acknowledged Islam,  and little, if anything, is thought about them until then". On the same page. p. 34.

Marriage: 

Under Divine direction, the Apostle of Allah wedded his darling girl Fatimah to 'Al;, however others vainly strove for her hand. Among their youngsters, Imam Hasan, Imam Husayn, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum have left their imprints on the historical backdrop of the world. After the passing of Hadrat Fatimah, 'Ali wedded Ummu 'I-Banin. 'Abbas was resulting from this wedlock and was handsome to the point that he was affectionately called Qamar Banu Hashim. He exemplified steadfastness and grit and demonstrated it in the combat zone at Karbala'

Demise: 

In the 40th year of Hijrah, in the little hours of the morning of 19th Ramadan, 'Ali was hit with a harmed sword by a Kharijite while offering his requests to God in the mosque of Kufah. (See photograph on p. 56) The Lion of God, the most overcome hearted and fentle Muslim that ever lived started his great existence with commitment to Allah and His Apostle and finished it in the administration of Islam. 


"Also, don't talk about the individuals who are killed in Allah's way as dead; nay they are alive yet you don't see. (Qur'an, 2:154)

THE IMAMS AND LEADERS OF ISLAM (Byal-`Allamahat-Tabatabai) 

The past dialogs lead us to the conclusion that in Islam, after the demise of the Holy Prophet, there has ceaselessly existed and will keep on existing with- in the Islamic group (ummah), an Imam (a pioneer picked by God). Various prophetic hadlths have been transmitted in Sh;'ism concerning the depiction of the Imams, their number, the way that they are the greater part of the Quraysh and of the Household of the Prophet, and the way that the guaranteed Mahdi; is among them and the remainder of them. Likewise, there are conclusive expressions of the Prophet concerning the Imamate of 'Al; and his being the first Imam furthermore authoritative articulations of the Prophet and 'Al; concerning the Imamate of the Second Imam. In the same way the Imams before have left complete articulations concerning the Imamate of the individuals who were to come after them.

As per these articulations contained in Twelve- lmam Shi'ite sources the Imams are twelve in number and their blessed names are as per the following: ( I ) 'Ali ibn Ab; Talib; (2) al-Hasan ibn 'Ali; (3) al-Husayn ibn 'Ali; (4) 'Ali ibn al-Husayn; (5) Muhammad ibn 'Ali;(6) Ja'far ibn Muhammad; (7) Musa ibn Ja'far; (8) 'Ali ibn Musa; (9) Muhammad ibn 'Ali; (10) 'Ali ibn Muhammad; (11) al-Hasan ibn 'Ali; and (12) the Mahdi.

The Names and Kunyat of Imam Ali (Pbuh) 

The name, title and kunyat of a man can show his character like a mirror. 


In the Hadith and Tradition Books, Imam Ali (Pbuh's) titles are around 250. Some of them were conceded to him by the Prophet (P.B.U.H, for example, Commander of the Believers, Vassi (Legatee), Vali (Guardian), Abu Torab.
