Event

Ahlul Bayt (as) to Kufa

The history of Imam Husayn's movement began in Rajab 60 A.H. with departure from Medina to Mecca, proceeding to Iraq in Zil-Hajj, and martyrdom in Muharram 61 A.H. Ahlul Bayt were taken as prisoners to Kufa, then to Damascus per Yazid's orders, staying an unknown period before returning to Medina within a year, possibly via Karbala en route to Syria but without reliable evidence. Myths of returning to Karbala on 20th Safar or Arba'in, or meetings with Jabir and Atiyya, are debunked as unhistorical, including Sayyid bin Tawus's account. Historical research is urged over blind acceptance, with infallibility only for the Prophet, Fatima, and Imams.

Commemoration

Burial of the Martyrs of Karbala

After the Battle of Karbala, Imam Zainul Aabidin succeeded as the fourth Imam while unconscious with fever; Lady Zainab consulted him, affirming his authority, and he ordered the family to leave burning tents to survive and spread the truth of the atrocities. She searched for and found missing children dead, including Sukaina near a headless body, hearing Husayn's voice. Martyrs' bodies were left, trampled barbarically by horses under Umar bin Sa’d's orders, with items pillaged. Per Shiite belief, Zainul Aabidin miraculously buried the bodies with Banu Asad's help, later rejoining heads.

Departure of Ahlul al-Bayt (as) from Kufa to Sham

After stirring remorse in Kufa, the captives, including Bibi Zainab and Imam Zain ul 'Abideen, secretly departed at night for a grueling 20-day journey to Damascus through deserts, enduring heat, floggings, and child deaths. In Yazid's court, Bibi Zainab and the Imam boldly confronted his arrogance, reciting Quran and affirming Husayn's victory. Imprisoned in a dungeon, young Bibi Sakina died of grief; Yazid released them after her death, allowing mourning majlises in Damascus that spread sympathy for Ahlul Bait.

Bombing of the al-Askari shrine

The Al-Askari Shrine, a Twelver Shi'ite mosque and mausoleum in Samarra, Iraq, built in 944 CE, is a key Shia site housing the tombs of Imams Ali al-Hadi (as) and Hasan al-Askari (as), plus Hakima Khatun and Narjis Khatun. Its dome was bombed in 2006 by Sunni extremists, minarets in June 2007, and clock tower in July 2007, sparking Shia anger and the Iraqi Civil War. Repaired, it reopened in April 2009 and lies within the Samarra UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 2007. Adjacent is the Serdab marking the Twelfth Imam's Minor Occultation.

Commemoration

Martyrdom of Imam Zayn al-Abidin (as)

Imam Zayn al-Abidin weakened from worship and Karbala memories, gaining popularity that alarmed Umayyad ruler al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik, who poisoned him. Suffering severe pain, he praised Allah for martyrdom and designated his son Mohammed al-Baqir as successor, entrusting him with Imamate, commandments, and inheritances. Al-Baqir prepared and buried him in al-Baqi Cemetery beside Imam al-Hasan amid massive mourning in Medina.

Event

Battle of Siffin

The Battle of Siffin in 657 pitted Ali against Muawiya's Syrian army on the Euphrates. Ali sought unity and peace, but Muawiya refused, leading to skirmishes and intense fighting. Ammar ibn Yasir was martyred, fulfilling a prophecy. Malik ibn Ashter's night assault nearly won, but traitors in Ali's ranks, bribed by Muawiya, halted the battle by raising Qur'ans on lances, forcing arbitration. Abu Musa deposed both leaders, but Amr bin Aas appointed Muawiya, sparking Khawarij rebellion against Ali.

Event

Entry of Ahlul Bayt (as) into Sham

The head of Imam Husayn (a.s.) arrived in Damascus on the 1st of Safar, celebrated by Bani Umayyah as a day of rejoicing but mourned by believers. Yazid mocked the head, poking its teeth and reciting vengeful poems about Badr. The captives, including Ahlul Bayt, entered humiliated; Zainab and Zainul Abedeen delivered powerful sermons rebuking Yazid with Quranic verses. Interactions, dreams, and lamentations ensued, leading to Yazid's feigned regret and the captives' eventual release after 66 days.

Commemoration

Martyrdom of Ruqayya bint Imam al-Hussain (as)

The martyrdom of Ruqayya bint Al-Ḥusayn, a four-year-old daughter of Imam Husayn, is described in Kamile Bahai from Kitab al Hawiyah. The family had concealed the fathers' deaths from children, claiming they were on a journey. At Yazid's house, Ruqayya awoke distressed from a dream about her father. Upon Yazid's order, Imam Husayn's head was brought to her. Recognizing it, she lamented poetically, kissed it, and died from grief in Damascus, prompting widespread mourning. Yazid then ordered the heads hanged on city doors.

Commemoration

Martyrdom of Imam al-Hasan (as)

Mu’awiya, having built a strong base in Syria, transformed the caliphate into a hereditary monarchy by appointing his son Yazid as successor, breaching his pledge to Imam Hasan ('a). Anticipating opposition, Mu’awiya orchestrated Hasan's poisoning through his wife Jo’dah bint Ash'ath, promising her 100,000 dirhams and marriage to Yazid, but later reneged on the marriage. After Hasan's death in 669, ‘Aisha, mounted on a mule with Umayyads, prevented his burial beside Prophet Muhammad (S) in Medina, leading to his interment in Jannat-ul-Baqi; Ibn Abbas rebuked her actions.

7 Safar 1456 AH

28Apr
Event

Battle of Nahrawan

In the Battle of Siffin, Mu’awiya's trick of raising Qur’ans on spears halted the fight, leading to arbitration. Amr ibn ‘As tricked Abu Musa Ash’ari into deposing Ali, then reinstated Mu’awiya as caliph. This sparked the Kharijites' rebellion against Ali for accepting arbitration. They withdrew to Harura, pledged to Abdullah ibn Wahab, moved to Nahrwan, and began killings. Ali confronted them, some repented, but battle ensued at Nahrwan, where Ali prevailed, though it demoralized his forces. Kharijites later persisted, evolving into the Ibadi sect in places like Oman and Algeria.
