Celebration

Birth of Imam Ali (as)

Ali ibn Abi Talib was born on the 13th of Rajab in the 30th year of the Elephant (600 AD) inside the Kaaba in Makkah, to parents Abu Talib and Fatima bint Asad of the Hashim clan. His cousin Muhammad, aged 30, greeted and dedicated the infant to Allah, unlike other Arab children dedicated to idols. Ali never worshipped idols and was adopted by Muhammad at age five to be groomed for his destiny. Historians affirm his unique birth and life's full historical visibility, linking him inseparably to Islam's rise.

Change of Qibla to the Kaaba

After the Prophet's migration to Medina, the qiblah changed from Bayt al-Maqdis to the Ka'bah in the 17th month, following divine command in Quran 2:144, amid Jewish opposition and mockery. This shift tested true believers (Quran 2:143), attracted Arabs by honoring the Ka'bah built by Ibrahim, and distanced Muslims from obstructive Jews, similar to replacing Ashura fasting with Ramadan. During noon prayer, Jibreel turned the Prophet precisely toward the Ka'bah, aligning exactly with modern coordinates—a scientific miracle without instruments.

Commemoration

Death of Zainab (as)

Historians debate Bibi Zaynab's death and burial: some say Medina's Jannatul Baqih, others Cairo on 14th Rajab 62 AH at Muslima Ibn Makhlid's house, or Damascus/Rawiya after illness en route to her husband. Overwhelmed by Karbala's tragedies—thirst, killings, captivity—she died heartbroken on 15th Rajab 62 AH, 17 months later. Reflections emphasize her steadfastness, critique insincere mourning in majalis, urge sincerity, lessons against tyranny, and Quranic insights on life's recorded deeds for judgment.

Event

Battle of Khaybar

The Battle of Khaybar occurred in the 7th year of Hijrah against the Jews who had amassed 10,000 warriors to attack Medina. Muslims, initially defeated over three days by warriors Marhab and Harith despite attacks led by Abu Bakr and Umar, faced difficulties as the Prophet suffered a migraine and Ali had sore eyes. The Prophet then cured Ali's eyes with saliva, gave him the flag, and Ali killed Marhab and Harith, uprooted the fort's gate as a shield, and conquered Khaybar with divine help.

24 Rajab 1464 AH

13Jul
Commemoration

Martyrdom of Imam Musa al-Khadim (as)

Imam Musa Al-Kadhim, born in 128 A.H. in Abwa’, son of Imam Ja’far Sadiq, served as the seventh Imam for 35 years until his martyrdom by poisoning in 183 A.H. in Baghdad’s prison at age 55, buried in Al-Kadhimiyn. Despite caliphal surveillance and imprisonment, he focused on worship, scholarship, teaching, and guiding followers. Traditions from Imam Sadiq confirm his imamate. Renowned for piety, knowledge, generosity, and tolerance, he aided the poor anonymously and exemplified forgiveness.

25 Rajab 1464 AH

14Jul
Commemoration

Death of Abu Talib (the prophets uncle)

The death of Abu Talib marked a painful loss for Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims after the end of the Quraysh blockade, depriving them of a key protector who had safeguarded the Prophet since childhood. Abu Talib's love stemmed from kinship and faith in Muhammad's prophethood, evident in acts like praying for rain, accompanying him to Syria, and defending him against assassination plots by Quraysh chiefs. His sacrifices, driven by belief in Islam, included risking his life and status; Imams later affirmed his sincere faith.

26 Rajab 1464 AH

Celebration

Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (s)

Prophethood began with Adam and culminated in Muhammad as the final prophet, delivering the message of monotheism and submission to God. Muhammad's life involved early hardships, revelation in the Cave of Hira, secret and open propagation of Islam in Mecca amid persecution, migration to Medina (Hijra), key battles like Badr, Uhud, Ahzab, and Khaybar, the peaceful conquest of Mecca, and the Farewell Pilgrimage where he appointed Ali as successor at Ghadir Khumm. Preparations for Imam Al-Mahdi's future arrival emphasize justice and guidance from the Ahl al-Bayt.

21Jul
Celebration

Birth of Imam al-Hussain (as)

Husayn, son of Ali and Fatimah, was born in the fourth year of Hijrah as the third Shi'i Imam, with a miraculous six-month gestation like Jesus. Prophets from Adam to Jesus foretold his Karbala martyrdom, evoking universal grief, including from angels and Zachariah. Gabriel announced it to Muhammad, who nursed the infant Husayn, ensuring Imamate continuity. Stories depict miracles, esoteric knowledge, and virtues like courage, generosity, and piety, linking him to sacred history from Abel to the Mahdi.

Celebration

Birth of al-Abbas (as)

Al-Abbas, born on 4th Shaban AH 26 to Umm-ul-Banin, was the first child celebrated by Imam Ali with Islamic newborn ceremonies including azan, iqama, hair shaving, alms, and sacrifice. Named al-Abbas (meaning courageous lion) and nicknamed Abu’l-Fadhl (father of virtue), he received protective verses from his mother. Imam Ali predicted his future martyrdom. Raised by faithful parents and adhering to Imams Ali, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn, al-Abbas embodied virtues, knowledge, and loyalty.

Celebration

Birth of Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin (as)

Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin, born in 38 A.H. possibly in Kufa, was named by Prophet Muhammad as ‘Ali b. al-Husayn, surnamed Zayn al-‘Abidin, foretold ten years prior. His birth rites included azan, iqama, and aqiqa. Nicknames like Sayyid al-‘Abidin, al-Sajjad, and Dhu’ al-Thafanat reflect his piety and worship. His mother died in childbirth; a nursemaid raised him. He was thin, weak, solemn, with a ring inscribed “My success is not but by Allah.”

Celebration

Birth Ali al-Akbar (as)

Ali al-Akbar, eldest son of Husayn ibn Ali (third Shia imam and grandson of Prophet Muhammad), was born to Layla from the Banu Thaqif tribe, with maternal ties to the Banu Umayya through her grandmother Maymuna. Praised by Caliph Mu'awiya for embodying traits of Banu Hashim, Umayya, and Thaqif, he strikingly resembled Muhammad in appearance and manners, earning the epithet Shabih-e Payghambar. His age at the Battle of Karbala (680 CE) is disputed (18-25 years), with 25 most likely, as he was older than survivor Ali Zayn al-Abidin (likely 23).
