1May
Commemoration

Death of Umm al-Banin (as)

Umm-ul-Banin, originally Fatima daughter of Hizam from a celebrated Arab family known for heroism and nobility, married Imam Ali after Fatima's death, on the advice of Aqil to bear a courageous son to support al-Husayn. She exceptionally cared for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, loving them more than her own four sons—al-Abbas, Abdullah, Ja’far, and Uthman—out of religious duty per the Qur’an. Revered by the Ahlul Bayt and Muslims for her loyalty and sacrifice in Karbala, she never remarried after Ali's death.

13 Jumada al-Thani 1467 AH

7May
Event

Marriage of Abdullah and Aminah (The parents of the Prophet)

The narration describes the Prophet Muhammad's pure lineage from noble loins and wombs, guiding others, with his name derived from Allah's name Mahmoud, affirming his mother's noble character. In Mecca, his father Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib, was known for the radiating light on his face, attracting many women for marriage. A story recounts Aminah's marriage to him, amid Jewish scholars in Sham disturbed by the final Messenger's arrival in Mecca, unable to alter God's decree.

19 Jumada al-Thani 1467 AH

8May
Celebration

Wilādat Fatimah al-Zahra (as)

Disagreement exists on Fatima az-Zahra's birth: Shiite traditions affirm five years after revelation, on 20th Jamadi al-Thani, supported by Imams and scholars like Kulayni and Mufeed. Sunni views place it five years before, during Kaaba construction. Post-revelation birth is deemed true, with false claims motivated by denying paradise-related conception and alleging her unattractiveness. Birth involved angelic midwives like Eve and Maryam assisting Khadija, who personally nursed her.

20 Jumada al-Thani 1467 AH

Death of Umm Kulthum (as) (dauther of Imam Ali)

She married Umar under duress, bearing Zayd and Ruqayyah, then wed Awn Ibn Ja'far after Umar's death. She died in Medina before Karbala', buried with son Zayd during al-Hasan and al-Husayn's lifetime. Known for piety, eloquence, and narrating traditions amid family tragedies.

Imam Ali (as) Establishes Kufa as Seat of Caliphate

In Rajab 36 A.H. (January 657), Ali transferred the Islamic capital from Medina to Kufa after victory in the Battle of the Camel, appointing Abdullah ibn Abbas as Basra's governor. Reasons included rewarding Kufa's support, protecting Medina from civil strife and desecration, its central administrative position, and monitoring Muawiya. Additional factors: preserving Medina's pure Islamic culture from alien influences, vice, and language corruption; presenting true egalitarian Islam; and ensuring security for holy cities like Medina and Makkah.

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.
