Commemoration

Wounding of Imam Ali (as)

Imam Ali foresaw his assassination by Abd Al-Rahman ibn Muljim, interacting with him multiple times and warning of treachery. Ibn Muljim, influenced by Qatam whose family Ali had killed, agreed to kill him for marriage, recruiting Shabib and Wirdan. On the 19th of Ramadan, Ali spent the night in prayer and shared prophetic dreams with his family. During dawn prayer at the mosque, Ibn Muljim struck him with a poisoned sword. Ali instructed kind treatment of his assassin, emphasizing mercy.

Commemoration

Martyrdom of Imam Ali (as)

A group of Khawarij plotted to assassinate Imam Ali during Hajj in Makkah, blaming him for Muslim bloodshed alongside Mu’awiyah and Amr ibn Al-As; Abd Al-Rahman ibn Muljim targeted Ali on the 19th of Ramadan at dawn prayer. Evidence suggests Umayyad involvement through funding, incitement, and spies like Al-Ash’ath. Ali foresaw his death, advised Ibn Muljim, and spent the night in worship. Struck by Ibn Muljim’s poisoned sword during prostration, Ali issued last wills emphasizing piety, justice, and mercy, appointing Al-Hasan successor before dying on the 21st night.

Celebration

Eid al-Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr is a spiritual festival marking the end of Ramadan, where Muslims thank Allah for the strength to fast and obey commandments, rejoicing in completing this sacred task rather than its departure. True Islamic sentiment views Ramadan's end with sorrow, as reflected in Imam Zainul-Abedeen's invocation praising its blessings. The festival lifts fasting restrictions but warns against un-Islamic indulgences. It offers three blessings: gratitude to God, self-reflection on character, and obligatory charity to the needy. Special prayers promote universal brotherhood, contrasting religion's elevation of human qualities with materialism's degradation.
