Birth of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as)

The Fifth Imam, Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Baqir (as), born in Madina on 1st Rajab 57 Hijri and died on 7th Zilhijja 114 Hijri at age 57, led a 19-year Imamate. Fulfilling a prophecy, he was recognized by Jabir ibn Abdullah. He opened schools teaching Qur’an and Hadith, earning the title Baqir for his knowledge. He advised on Islamic currency, regained Fadak under Umer Ibn Abdul Aziz, and faced harassment from Hisham, demonstrating archery skills. His schools trained 25,000 students and produced 400 Hadith books. Poisoned by Ummayads, he was succeeded by Ja’far Sadiq (as).

Birth of Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (as)

Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s.), the ninth Shia Imam, descended from the noble Prophet's family through his father, Imam Ali ar-Ridha (a.s.), and a virtuous bondmaid mother whose name historians dispute (e.g., al-Khayzuran or Sukaynah). Born on 19 Ramadan 195 AH in Medina, he was raised in the house of imamate, displaying early intelligence and genius that astonished scholars. Epithets like al-Jawad (generous) and al-Taqiy (pious) reflect his virtues, praised by his father and contemporaries for knowledge, piety, and generosity.

Event

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.

12 Rajab 1451 AH

20Nov
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.

Event

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.

15 Rajab 1451 AH

22Nov
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.
